Loves Embrace: Poems of Prayer, Hope and Peace, is a book about loves, the metaphors for expressions of life and great sacred love from all of God's children, nature and the universe.
It contains approximately forty writings, which express themes of love, faith, hope and spiritual understanding. Some are metaphors, expressions of love and light. Some are similes that make you smile as well as spark an internal glow. The prayers and poems are accompanied by the biblical writings of the Divine, written by the prophets of the Old and New Testaments. Some are personal prayers and visions of what God has for me as well as for each of us. There is so much He has already given us. We simply have to recognize each glorious gift as we travel through life and in relationship. I did not begin to truly know myself and to accept myself as I am, until these special words, these holy words, began to flow from the Almighty into my heart, then from my heart onto paper. I began to experience the joy of Jesus, the Christ in my soul, an inexpressible exuberance and a sense of spiritual freedom I had never known before. And now that I have discovered that I could express this freedom and truly feel happiness by writing about this gift, I can, finally, with courage, express the opposing end of this continuum of sadness and serenity, and recognize that they are one in the same. We must surrender to our pain and sadness in order to experience the joy of Jesus Christ and all He has to offer us, for He is Lord of all. God is the true source of love that we are all a part, as He gave his only begotten Son, Jesus to the world to save our souls from condemnation (The Book of John the Divine, 3:16).
