Praising God for Loving & Devoted Mothers
|
Dearest Friends,
It is a blessing for me to acknowledge the women of today, who as mothers and nurturers, honor their role as laid out for them by our Heavenly Father. As mothers, when aligned to the perfect blueprint of God, we become gifted nurturers, matriarchs and the heart of the home. We are the first to encourage our children, and through our love and by our faith, give them a foundation of love that develops their self-worth. And as role models we prepare them for the world, and with our wisdom and confidence imprinted in them, their ability to meet any challenge is made greater!
In the spirit world, I was told Satan’s strongest desire is to control and destroy the family. It is his hope to destroy mankind by breaking up the family unit and by separating them from God. It was explained to me that his strength in accomplishing this would be by reaching the heart of the woman first and the man would quickly follow. When God created the different roles for men and women, he kept women close to himself in spirituality, as co-creators of life. Satan fears the spirituality in women and God’s need for them to be the nurturers of children. He attempts to access the next generation by removing both spirituality and the mother from the home. By destroying families, he can be confident that the breakdown of society will soon follow.
A deep void is created in our homes when mothers or fathers leave their children, but particularly mothers during the crucial years in which the child develops his bonds and becomes rooted in his foundation for life. The first three years of life is the time when a child develops a conscience for right and wrong; learns respect of self and others; and learns traits of integrity that include honesty, a state of being whole, and soundness of moral character. It is during this time that the child learns the most intimate bond of life, the bond with love: love of self, which the heart of the mother can provide—and the love of family, which prepares them for society. The ripple effect of pain produced by the lack of a family bond, especially when the mother is not in the home, is carried through into adulthood. The child, not bonding, can turn against parent, and parent, not having bonded, can turn against child. The negative effects of disconnect, disassociation and lack of self-confidence can nearly always be traced back to the child's early needs not being met. Likewise, the ripple effects of good-will toward others, self-worth, and well-being in life and society begins here, in our home.
I honor the “Grandmothers” who are are stepping up and filling in as nurturers and care-givers to children whose mothers are forced into industry outside the home. I was shown during my near-death experience that “women of wisdom” would come forward in greater numbers as families fell apart, to teach them and lead society toward the healing in our world that would become so greatly needed. Many of these women are already proactively participating through community projects, running for political positions and contributing their time to various help organizations—and many have yet to come forth.
As I raised my own children, I realized they were growing from those crucial years of needing my constant nurturing and care toward greater independence, which opened the way for me to write “Embraced By The Light” and begin my tours of carrying the message of God’s unconditional love. I knew my call to share my life and my message outside of my home had come. I also knew that many women in the world, like me, who were also grandmothers, were in the process of fighting back against Satan. I was shown in the spirit world the awakening of women to the perils that we face and the reawakening of mothers and grandmothers everywhere to the special purpose of all mothers to protect the family and return it to the strong nurturing unit in which children can learn to love.
While I feel it crucial to share what I was shown in the spirit world about the potential fate of our families and of our world, we are not without hope and do not need to fall victim to Satan's plot to destroy our families. Our voices are heard by our Heavenly Father and a mother has the power to implore him mightily for her children. We can by choice return to higher standards of living—expecting them from our children as well.
My heart goes out to all mothers who have had to leave their children and work outside the home. There were times when I had to do this myself. My prayers are for this trend to be reversed. We can reverse the damage that has been done in our lives and in our world through misuse of our free-will and lack of love. Then, by being the heartbeat within our homes, and, seeking God's will in our lives, we will strengthen our families and create loving ripples that will go out into our neighborhoods and then on to our communities, joining the positive ripples of others that will send needed waves of love throughout our world. Our world can be changed and healed!
Friends, as mothers and caregivers to our children, we are the heart of the home, the pulse, we set the tone in our homes to empower our children to do the same. Every day brings greater opportunities to serve them, to teach them and to love them. How blessed we are to be held near to God as co-creators and nurturers of his creation with him.
God bless you in your good works. Happy Mother's Day!
All my love,
Betty

“My Newfound Love for God ”
Betty reads from The Awakening Heart, pages 13-16
I would vividly recall each moment spent with Jesus in detail...thrilling each time to my newfound love for God and the freedom I received from it. I remembered his incredible countenance, and how powerfully it reminded me that, other than God, my eternal Father, none other was greater than he. He was Jesus, my Lord and Savior, and yet I knew that what we named him was unimportant to him. I knew that he had the ability to appear to me or others in more than one way . . . however it was necessary for us to experience him and accept him. As I had looked at Jesus in all his glory, somehow I knew that not only was I accepting of his presence, but I was worthy of him. Jesus, I “knew,” need never show me the nail prints in his hands nor the gash in his side as proof of who he was. I belonged to him just as I was, and the fact that he had suffered pain was not the issue now. His divine expression of love was, and I never questioned that.
The aura surrounding his body was brilliant white and full of energy. Although this light shone brightly around him, I saw that he was the light and it came from within him. Light reflected off what appeared to me to be his flesh. His crystalline body resembled what could be spun light, though it was solid and firm, having the three dimensions of length, breadth, and thickness. Prisms of intense light spiraled, pulsated, and moved with each minuscule change in his thoughts or desires. His eyes, though liquid with his love, somehow danced like fire, flickering with energy and life when he needed to express, to me his most sincere and earnest wishes for me...
Our communication was nonverbal, all thoughts and feelings that we chose to express were expressed directly, straight from his heart to mine and vice versa. Still, our communication could be felt and understood by others when it was meant to be. Our nonverbal exchange was translated to our language here and impressed firmly into me as I would understand it as a mortal being...Sometimes I would actually feel and experience his voice. When this happened, it was meant to be more personal, in that his voice resonated within me, the rich vibrant tones actually penetrating my spiritual being. It came as a melody that I could feel as if I were an instrument he was playing. His voice gave me life, and I became healed by it. No greater joy have I experienced since his unconditional love for me!
The rays of light surrounding Jesus were filled with knowledge and love. Just standing in his presence and absorbing it gave me the ability to expand the love and knowledge within. My spiritual body filled to almost bursting with his divine love and understanding. I became a part of all there ever was, living it, experiencing it, then somehow nurtured by it. The spirit, not unlike the human mind, must be receptive and flexible in order to expand and develop as I did. I never thought that I had either of these qualities, but I could accept the fact that all things are possible through God.

| Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 |
I too, doubted God’s hand in my life for many years and had to learn to trust him upon my return from the spirit realm. I had been shown that knowledge precedes faith and through my near-death experience, I had been given knowledge of God. But now I needed to internalize that knowledge in my own heart so that it might become faith and trust in him.
Prayer was the key to this process. At first I did not know how to connect with God in prayer and often felt my prayers were unheard, let alone answered! But as I thought about my own children and how frustrated I become when they are silent and I can tell they are struggling, I realized that my Heavenly Father wants to hear from me. And often I see my children's true needs even before they do, yet honor their choices not wanting to interfere. I remembered Jesus asking me how much I loved my children and then saying to me “How much greater is the Father's love...” And so at first I began to practice blind faith in prayer. The following scripture comes to mind: “How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.” (Psalms 36:7)
I saw that I could trust in prayer. I knew and believed that if I asked for God’s will to be done in my life, my prayers would be answered in their time. I began to exercise my faith by prayer, as I had learned, thanking God for all things, no matter how negative they first appeared. I could now see that God was teaching me how to be patient and wait on him. Trusting him, believing in him, and knowing that he really is in control, I knew he will give us, his beloved children, the righteous desires of our hearts when we ask for them. I asked for his help and guidance to endure my most difficult moments and future trials to the end. —The Awakening Heart, page 25
Through this process, I began to understand and believe that God’s will for me is for my good, just as my will is for my own children.
When I internalized more of my understanding of God’s will for me, I felt a sense of freedom and peace that sank deep into me, like a breath of sweet almond blossoms to my soul. My spirit began to swell again as it had when I first recognized the truth and love that existed with God. —The Awakening Heart, pages 42-43
It always comes back to love, and in learning to place our trust in our Heavenly Father we must exercise our faith in him by opening our hearts to his love. His love is unconditional for all of us and is always available to us in every circumstance. And because of the universal law of giving and receiving—what we share with others expands and grows.
As we allow ourselves to believe in God and to accept his love, a quiet joy will rekindle our souls, a joy we will instantly want to share with others. And as we share it lovingly, that spark of joyful heaven will begin to swell within us, filling our entire souls. Then we will begin to discover the truth that heaven is everywhere we allow it to be, and it resides in us just as we once resided in it. Then, each of us will be blessed to know for ourselves, what words can never convey. —The Ripple Effect, page 13
We must remember that there is more to our daily lives than can be seen with our mortal eyes. We can learn to trust the power of heaven, these “unseen” forces of good—we can choose to place our trust in God and seek his will!
I Trust in the Unseen World of God
I thought [God] was doing nothing but watch me suffer, when he had already taken care of my needs. Once again I had trusted in what I could see and not in the unseen.
The Awakening Heart - page 64
For we walk by faith, not by sight... 2 Corinthians 5:7
Father, forgive me when I cannot see your hand in my life and so question your wisdom or doubt your love and concern for me. Teach me to trust your ability to see my future and know what is best for me. If that is to give me your silence or to let me pass through trials, increase my faith and endurance and my courage to wait upon you. For I know that your loving hand, even when hidden, is over me always. Thank you for teaching me faith in what I cannot see.
Affirmation: God blesses me in marvelous and unseen ways.

...God does have absolute power, and there is no room for Satan in the Kingdom of God. In this sense we might regard the master of evil as an illusion, because he is already defeated by the power of Christ . . . To develop our highest potential, to become like God, we need to gain that love which only opposition allows us to gain. Without an opposing energy, our power to love would never be strengthened sufficiently to allow us to progress in the eternities. —The Ripple Effect, pp. 81-82
Evil exists in this world for a purpose. We want to grow from the opposition in our lives rather than succumb to it. To do this, we need to learn to discern the nature of evil:
It is a tree that bears bitter fruit that can always be detected over time. Evil will take on any form necessary to tempt us, to test us, to claim us, hoping we don’t look too closely at its real composition. Remember, like cleaves to like.
. . . It is important to recognize that Satan, the Deceiver, masterfully uses our own fears to hold us captive. Fear is the opposite of love. It warps and destroys love’s power to heal and to expand us. Some of us in this life and in the world to come are afraid to go to the Light and accept Christ’s love. And Christ will not force us; rather, he gently and ever so patiently guides us along. During my near-death experience, my transformation by his healing love began in the darkness before I ever saw him. This love grew in me until my fears departed and I believed I was accepted of him. Then I couldn’t be held from him and went to his light. While in darkness, each of us has the right to feel God’s love. But we must accept it. Light and darkness cannot occupy the same space; it is an impossibility. . . his love for everyone is the same. It is without conditions or limits. And it is the only anecdote against fear and the Evil One. —The Ripple Effect, p. 83-84
 To battle evil, we need only serve God. And we can increase our capacity to serve him as we earnestly seek his will and follow the spiritual principles we have learned. Jesus taught us that “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness (Matthew 6:22-23). Yet there are many who focus on negative, looking for evil, fueling it with their fears, obsessing upon darkness rather than focusing upon the light of God.
To dwell upon a thought is to give it energy. To act upon a thought is to give it life. The Lord discusses this principle in Mark 7:15. “There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.” When we give something place within our nature, it manifests itself physically and spiritually. Giving place to negative thoughts by repeating them, pondering them, gnawing on them, gives them energy and thus the power to transform us into their image.
. . . Bits of darkness may creep into us because mortality is a test that teaches and strengthens us, but we are children of God and like him are beings of truth and beauty and light. Ugliness in all its forms is foreign to our true nature.
Often we can recognize something evil inside as it is mirrored back by people around us. In this way we can learn and grow. —The Ripple Effect, p. 85
I also wrote about this in my book The Awakening Heart in the chapter “The Gift to Heal.”
I knew that spiritual healing must precede physical and mental healing and that we determine whether our spirits draw on the positive or the negative energy available to us. I had been shown that the self-centeredness of depression can create further illness and that the cycles of fear and guilt that draw one into darkness are Satan’s greatest tools...I began to see now, for the first time, many of my own weaknesses and recognized that I had the ability to overcome my own creations. —The Awakening Heart, p. 32
People make wrong choices, not because they set out to hurt themselves, but because they have not yet learned to choose good. And as each of us make right choices, allowing our own light to shine, we can help others learn to do the same.
Those who understand the message of God’s love must share it with courage and confidence. People not yet sure in spiritual truth will be supported and guided by those who are sure until they come into their own understanding. We can and will see our world cleansed of all evil and blanketed with a greater glory, even the glory and love of God. But we must each believe and act in that belief. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). —The Ripple Effect, pp. 92-93
 How do we battle evil? By not giving into it!
I saw the evil in surrendering to one of Satan's greatest tools—my personal cycles of guilt and fear. I understood that I had to let go of the past. If I had broken laws or sinned, I needed to change my heart, forgive myself, and then move onward. If I had hurt someone, I needed to start loving them—honestly--and seek their forgiveness. If I had damaged my own spirit, I needed to approach God and feel his love again—his healing love. Repentance can be as easy as we make it—or as difficult. When we fall down, we need to get up, dust ourselves off, and get moving again. If we fall down again, even a million times, we still need to keep going; we're growing more than we think. —Embraced By The Light, pages 69-70
We can overcome the darkness in our lives by picking up the spiritual tools freely available to each of us. One of the most powerful is the gift of prayer. We must remember that our Heavenly Father wants to hear from us and we need only talk to him—which we can do at any time and anywhere. We can open our eyes to his hand in our lives and then thank him for the blessings he gives us. And most especially, we can choose to love!
“Love one another,” Jesus had said. “If you can do that, all else will be fine.” —The Awakening Heart, page 44

Only God knows for sure. I’ve read many letters and accounts of those who had a near-death experience and visited heaven as I did. Some did not believe in Jesus before their experience—yet met him anyway and recognized him immediately. Others did believe in Jesus while here but met someone else. We must trust our Heavenly Father’s plan and will.
I believe we will all meet Jesus eventually. In the mean time, until our appointed time in this life is complete—we can reach for greater understanding of our Savior and his teachings. We can prayerfully replace our fears with trust in God and his will for us, knowing he is over all things and has the perfect plan for us. As we gain greater knowledge of God’s unconditional love and eternal plan for his children, we will find our fears begin to dissipate and can look forward to the time when we are blessed to meet Jesus.
“Of all knowledge, however, there is none more essential than knowing Jesus Christ. I was told that he is the door through which we will all return. He is the only door through which we can return. Whether we learn of Jesus Christ here or while in the spirit, we must eventually accept him and surrender to his love.”
