This is a copy of a portrait of Jesus painted by Glenda Green:

"Love one another," He said. And this was not just so others would benefit from our love, but because Jesus understood "consciousness" ... He knew that whatever we hold in our mind, creates effects in our mind, body, and soul, and in our life experiences. "Judge not," He taught, so that our mind is clear of negativity and open and receptive to the ideas that the Spirit seeks to bring to our awareness, ideas that will move us into a greater experience of health, wealth, happiness, peace and love.
