Perception

BEHIND ALL OF LIFE, I PERCEIVE INFINITE LOVE.

Our physical senses allow us to perceive the world from a certain perspective. Yet as we expand our view spiritually, we perceive so much more. We open ourselves to a consciousness of Oneness—harmony and connectedness that radiates through everything and everyone.

With our thoughts on the Divine, we attune to the Infinite Love behind all life. This radiant energy is present in every circumstance and in every person, even if it is not readily seen or heard. Evaluating life only through the filter of our physical senses, we might perceive discord or lack. Yet when we look at our lives with our hearts and minds on Spirit, evidence of the Divine is unmistakable.

Whoever is from God hears the words of God.—John 8:47

Inner Peace

I AM PEACEFUL AND SERENE AS I OPEN TO THE CHRIST WITHIN.

In meditation, I leave all thoughts behind and begin a journey within. I breathe easily and allow my body to rest. If a thought distracts me, I take a deep breath and gently set it aside. I am peaceful and serene as I open to the Christ within. Comfortable here in the Silence, I relax and listen …

A whisper resonates within, inviting me to immerse myself in the calm peace of my soul: “Peace, peace, Beloved.” All tension in my body melts away. I am a living, breathing expression of the Christ within.

When I am ready, I bring my attention back to my surroundings. I am renewed in mind, body, and spirit. I am at peace.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.—Romans 15:13

Zest for Life

I LOVE LIFE!

If my life feels out of order, my enthusiasm may wane. Yet I feel my joy returning as I pause for a moment of prayer. I am a divine creation, made in the likeness of God to deliver a unique gift to the world. I bless every circumstance I encounter.

My relationships, health, and goals are revitalized as I express the power of love and appreciation. God moves in and through me, and my life is blessed.

At the age of 93, Unity cofounder Charles Fillmore expressed his enthusiasm by saying: “I fairly sizzle with zeal and enthusiasm and spring forth with a mighty faith to do the things that ought to be done by me!” Like Charles Fillmore, I greet each new day with enthusiasm. Whatever I do, I do it with zeal!

Rekindle the gift of God that is within you.—2 Timothy 1:6

Guidance - Thursday, April 03, 2014 | Daily Word

I CLAIM THE WISDOM OF DIVINE GUIDANCE.

If I lose my way while traveling, I stop to get my bearings. Likewise, on my journey through life, if I stumble or feel uncertain, I pause to re-center myself. I do not allow fear or anxiety to take over my thoughts. With each calming breath, I claim the wisdom of divine guidance, always available in that peaceful place within.

As I breathe, I release thoughts that I may be lacking anything necessary for my good. I affirm: As I let go of the tension of uncertainty, I claim the wisdom of God’s guidance. Nothing is more powerful than Divine Mind. I am one with its infinite wisdom.

As I speak these words of Truth in prayer, I open the way for the guidance I seek.

Your words have supported those who were stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees.—Job 4:4

I AM WILLING TO LEARN AND GROW.

As I turn within to pray, I prepare to bring forth my best Self. I am willing to learn and grow. All I need is fulfilled through the presence of God within me. I open to greater faith, love, and understanding as I pray:

Teach me. Show me how to be more loving and understanding. Teach me to embody and express Divine Love in my thoughts, words, and actions. Lead me into forgiveness. I open now to the way of Divine Love.

Guide me. Show me how to be faith-filled. Give me the vision to see beyond appearances. Help me to know how to live and express Truth every day. I open now to Divine Wisdom and Understanding.

With gratitude, I open my heart to learn and to grow in the way of Truth. And so it is. Amen.

Humility goes before honor.—Proverbs 15:33

GRATITUDE BRINGS ME JOY!

According to the Law of Increase, what I focus on multiplies. Knowing this, I refrain from dwelling on my challenges and struggles. I choose instead to center my thoughts on what brings me happiness—my friends and family, beloved pets, satisfying work and interests, the beauty of nature, and so much more. As I appreciate the blessings in my life, they multiply abundantly.

I joyously and continuously give thanks for my ever-increasing good and stand in awe of the activity of God. As I dwell in the energy of gratitude, its radiance expands within me, blessing not only myself, but also those around me.

You have multiplied the nation, you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest.—Isaiah 9:3
