Will You?

Here are a few bullet points to refresh the memories of those who attended service on Sunday, Feb. 16, 2014. To view the full text, click here.



  • Today, instead of saying, “You can make a choice,” I am going to ask you to make a choice. Are you willing?

  • This week, I’m asking you, would you decide to be happy; to use your freedom of choice to choose to be happy and to share your happiness with others?

  • This week, I am asking you to choose to be happy!

  • I’m asking you to choose to have a happy, positive, joyous, enthusiastic state of mind. Will you do that?

  • Will you choose to smile often, to laugh more, to love, and be loving?

  • Will you choose to allow the love of God to flow through you and out to everyone and everything around you. Will you do that?

  • Choose to see the good of God in others, to love them as they are, not to judge nor try to change them. I ask you, this week, to choose to trust God, to align your will with God’s will, and to allow God to express through you as peace, and love. Will you do that this week?

  • I know you’ve heard me say this before, and it’s worth repeating: God is with you right now, you are never alone.

  • You can close off your awareness, you can close off your knowing, but you are still not alone anytime, anyplace, anywhere, because God is there.

  • As a spiritual person you know to live from the inside—out; you know that you set the conditions of how you feel about the day.

  • I suggest that you do this before you even leave your bedroom in the morning; set the conditions of your day. Will you do that this week?

  • I ask you to take happy and loving action toward whatever, whomever you resist. Will you do that?

  • You can use your freedom of choice to choose to be happy in every thought inside of your mind, and to let your happiness light shine out to others. Will you do that this week?

  • I believe that God will show you what absolute happiness is, and that this feeling is one that will remain with you.

  • So, I invite you to make a commitment this week, because to be a source of joy and happiness for yourself, and others, requires more than just mere words; it takes action on your part.  Will you do that?

  • Will you put down your story?

  • Yes, life may still present many mysteries, but you are secure in God. Rather than becoming anxious about what you do not know, or understand, embrace every opportunity to learn with the joy of God’s Spirit working through you. Will you do that this week?

  • Galatians 5:25, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.”

  • Will you do that this week?
