Unity

IN GOD’S PERFECT LOVE, I AM ONE WITH ALL.

If I ever feel disconnected from family members, co-workers or my community, I remember that any sense of separation is an illusion. In God’s perfect love, we are one. We are united in Spirit, because we are all created of God.

The love of God enables me to see beyond differences of opinion, belief, political ideology or culture. It opens my eyes to the spiritual unity that is always present. As I express the love of God in my thoughts, words and activities, I am a mighty reinforcer of the underlying unity that connects all people.

In prayer, I contemplate the Truth of our divine unity. Acknowledging the love of God in myself and others, I am aware that we are one.

How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!—Psalm 133:1

Strong - Tuesday, October 09, 2012 | Daily Word

Strong

I AM FILLED WITH THE LIFE, STRENGTH AND ENERGY OF GOD!

My body responds to my thoughts and feelings. If I am down, my body feels it. If I am tense or hurried, my body becomes tense and tired. Conversely, it responds just as readily to positive thinking.

When I affirm with conviction: I am filled with the life, strength and energy of God!—even if I do not feel especially strong at the moment—it will stir up feelings of divine life and strength within me.

My body, mind and spirit respond to positive, life-affirming prayers. I feel an upsurge of energy through my entire being. I am filled with the strength of God.

As a spiritual being, I draw upon divine strength to do all I need to do, to be all I can be, to achieve my heart’s desires. What an inspiring truth!

The joy of the Lord is your strength.—Nehemiah 8:10

Discovery - Monday, October 08, 2012 | Daily Word

Discovery

I DISCOVER GOD IN ALL OF LIFE.

What will this day bring, and what will I bring to this day? I begin each morning stronger and wiser than I was yesterday, and I am eager to learn something new about myself, life and God.

I make a special effort to see my life in new ways. I behold magnificence and grandeur in the simple things—the sunrise, the trees, the sky. I behold divine beauty as I look into the eyes of a loved one.

I may take a new route to work or to a friend’s house, read a new book, or try something I’ve never tried before. I approach my day with a sense of adventure and wonder, energy and excitement. I close my day with gratitude, knowing God is in all of my experiences—yesterday, today and tomorrow.

When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart.—Jeremiah 29:13

Prosperity - Sunday, October 07, 2012 | Daily Word

Prosperity

INSPIRED BY DIVINE IDEAS, I AM PROSPEROUS.

To clear my mind of any thoughts of lack or limitation, I confidently deny them power over me. I synchronize my thoughts with ideas of divine abundance and the creative flow of God’s good.

I take to heart these words from the late Eric Butterworth: “Infinite Mind will put ideas into your mind, words into your mouth, creativity into your hands, boundless opportunity before you, and guiding light on your way.”

Inspired, capable and ready, I act on divine guidance. With gratitude, I affirm God as my constant source of supply. I maintain an attitude of prosperity in all areas of my life and my needs are abundantly met.

My God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 4:19

Joy - Saturday, October 06, 2012 | Daily Word

Joy

I LAUGH WITH JOY.

When I hear someone else laughing, I often laugh too. Their chuckle or giggle makes me smile, and I feel joyful and lighthearted. No matter what is happening in my life, I can connect with my joy-filled inner child by remembering silly things, fun experiences and times when I laughed until I cried.

When I feel down or sad, I become still and ask Spirit to remind me of uplifting memories. I recall the blessings of my life, the times when I’ve experienced great joy and happiness. I let those memories wash over me, and I feel my joy begin to grow.

Joy expresses first as a smile, grows into laughter, and expands into radiance, which shines from within.

Sarah said, “God has brought laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me.”—Genesis 21:6
