The
God in me Greets the God In You
By
Rose Whaley. I’ve never
been so happy in my life as I am now. I am a single mother of three wonderful
grown children and one teenage grandson. I gave birth to my first child
at the tender age of 15, was married at 16, and separated from my husband
at 26. Since childhood, I was always an unhappy person. Unaware that happiness
was already within me, like a lot of people, I was looking for love in
all the wrong places and with all the wrong people. As a result of being
unhappy and a wounded child, I tried to commit suicide several times.
I just wanted the pain, unhappiness, confusion and the feeling of being
unloved to stop. I really did not want to die, but I thought suicide was
the only way out. As time passed, I soon discovered that God is a living
spirit within me. He had everything I needed then, now and forever. I
am now 46 years old and loving it. I thank God my suicide attempts failed.
He was saving me for a purpose. My purpose is to learn the Truth and pass
it on (The Truth will set you free). I feel unspeakable joy now.
At the age of 35, I was diagnosed with
an incurable disease called Sarcoidosis which is similar to lupus. The
doctors at St. Barnabas hospital said the disease was in my lungs, all
over my skin and could spread to other organs. I did not want to believe
I had anything so I got a second opinion. Jacobi hospital verified the
diagnoses. I started treatment at St. Barnabas and was happy with the
care. Out of fear I blamed God and wanted to know why me. This was the
beginning of my spiritual journey.
All my life I saw people
going to churches, suffering from some illness, praying to God for healing
and still dying. As a child, I thought God could not hear them. At that
time living with a disease myself,
I wanted real answers. I did not want to live or die with this disease.
I felt that if God was All Good, All Powerful and truly loves me than
he can cure me. So I asked God “ To give me the knowledge and understanding
(Truth), so I could heal myself of all things.” He (the God within) answered
my prayer. I stopped medical treatment in 1991 and today I no longer suffer
from Sarcoidosis or anything else .
The beginning of my Spiritual Journey.
One day a neighbor named Benji Titus gave me a book
called “The Key to Yourself”. The Key to Yourself is a spiritual book
that is easy reading and excellent for individuals who are beginning their
spiritual journey. This book enlightened me and provided me with many
answers that I was seeking. God used Benji as one of my spiritual guides
to enlightened me and supply me with the information I needed at that
time. It was a learning process that took time, devotion and a open mind.
Thank you Benji. As the years passed, my level of knowledge and understanding
had increased. I was ready to reach a higher level of spiritual understanding.
God took care of that need by sending me another spiritual guide named
Susie B. Williams. Susie enlightened me about my true essence and my connection
with the God in me (that’s in all of us). Thank you Susie.
This knowledge has made me
extremely happy, healthy, more loving and forgiving. I have learned how
to love myself and how to let go of fear, anger, jealously, and worry.
I realized that no prayer goes unanswered it can come from any person
or situation, we just need to recognize it.
