Totally Clean

Our Daily Bread Radio is hosted by Les Lamborn
A friend was updating me on his past year—a year in which he had been receiving ongoing medical treatment for cancer. The smile on his face was a powerful testimony to the good news he had just received. He said that at his one-year checkup the doctor announced that the test results all pointed to one thing: “You are totally clean!” What a difference two words can make! To my friend, totally clean meant every trace of the disease that had threatened his life only months before had been wiped from his body. We rejoiced to hear that he was totally clean!
King David, after his moral failure with Bathsheba, longed for a similar thing to happen in his heart. Hoping for the stains of his sin to be washed away, he cried out, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Ps. 51:10). The good news for him and for us is that our sins can be taken care of. When we need cleansing, John’s familiar words bring hope: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
We can’t cleanse our own hearts; only God can do that. If we confess our sins to Him, He promises to make us totally clean!
Search me, O God, and know my heart today
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin and set me free. —Orr
Confession to God always brings cleansing from God.

Let Go,Let God - Sunday, August 05, 2012 | Daily Word: "Let Go,Let God
I RELAX, LET GO, AND OPEN MYSELF TO UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES.
What does “letting go” mean? It can mean releasing worry and thinking optimistically. It can mean allowing myself to hope and dream about the future. It can mean permitting myself to slow my hectic pace and spend more time in quiet communion with God.

As I let go, I surrender my life and all that concerns me to the living power and presence of God within me. I willingly look beyond appearances and fully trust God’s wisdom and love to manifest in my life.

As I surrender, I release my attachment to any specific outcome. I focus my attention on the unlimited nature of God and the activity of Spirit. I relax, let go and trust God to lead me on my way.

Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.—John 14:27"

A New Day - Saturday, August 04, 2012 | Daily Word


A New Day
I AM ALIVE AND ALERT. I AM ONE WITH THE ONE.
A birdsong before dawn is music to my soul. It’s as if the bird cannot wait to greet the new day. This song calls me to wake up and get started, to welcome this day with enthusiasm and expectancy.
If I’ve become comfortable in my routine or have settled into an uninspired pattern of living, the birdsong reawakens me. As I rediscover my unlimited potential, I say “yes” to the spirit of God within me.
I am one with the One. My entire being is alive and alert, energized with possibility, awakened to new life—abundant, full and free. Like the bird that heralds the dawn, my soul rejoices in each new day.
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make melody. Awake, my soul!—Psalm 108:1

Perspective
I AM AWARE OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD, AND MY LIFE UNFOLDS IN RIGHT WAYS.
Aware of the presence of God within, I live from my spiritual center, rather than strictly from my ego. I am guided by my life’s purpose and meaning.
When I see my life from a divine perspective, I realize how limited my ego-based views can be. Prayer helps me achieve and maintain a higher view. I notice when my thoughts, words and actions are out of alignment with Spirit, and I open to the guidance of God in all I think, say and do.
I have faith that my highest good is unfolding minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, and that unlimited blessings are flowing to me now. I am God-conscious, fully open to the activity of Spirit in my life.
Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts.—Acts 2:46

Thankful
IN THIS VERY MOMENT, I AM THANKFUL.

Today I conduct a gratitude experiment. How much gratitude can I feel and express during the next 24 hours? I look around and count the many blessings in my life.
I reflect on all I have and all I’ve experienced, and I am excited about what is to come. I am thankful for a whole and healthy body, for divine ideas that propel my dreams into reality, for the foundation of divine support I feel. People I cherish come to mind—my family, friends and neighbors—and I am thankful for each of them.
Gratitude expands and fills my entire body with light and love. I practice gratitude throughout each day, because it feels so good.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.—Colossians 3:15

Passion - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 | Daily WordPassion
I SHARE MY GIFTS WITH JOY, EXCITEMENT AND PASSION.
Spirit within is always calling me toward the desires of my heart. I needn’t worry that I’m not ready or worthy to pursue them. When I am willing to be more, do more, and share more, Spirit provides everything I need for success. My joy, excitement and passion tell me I am moving in the right direction.
I am willing to share my gifts and talents, knowing the world needs every one of us to open to our greatest potential. Even if I do not feel fully prepared, Spirit works within me and others, to synchronize timing and provide resources for the highest good of all. Fueled by my passion, I step into a flow of positive energy that carries me forward and expands my life.
For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has—not according to what one does not have.—2 Corinthians 8:12
