Hope and Pray is The Joy of Jesus

Home | Daily Word: "ANTICIPATE
I live this day in positive anticipation.
I look forward to this day with great excitement. Each day brings unexpected gifts. I am willing to live this one to the best of my ability. Whatever comes my way, I choose to see it as an opportunity to grow and to know God more.

If my plans are interrupted or delayed, I take the additional time to reflect or notice something that may have otherwise escaped my attention. What some may see as a frustration, I see as a chance to slow down and feel God's presence. My faith assures me that there is nothing God and I cannot accomplish together. I look for and find blessings in ways expected and unexpected, treasured even more because I live in positive anticipation.

The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the body. --Proverbs 15:30"

Seeing God is The Joy of Jesus

FaithWriters.com-Christian Christian Living - Seeing God is The Joy of Jesus:

Have you ever found the profound need to see Jesus? There comes a time in life when one must search deep within ones soul for the truth. The Bible tell us that the truth shall set thee free. The ideal of freedom is what most people and nations seek in one form or fashion. The goal of ones life should be to discover ones creator. Would you like to see God?

Phillip asked Jesus to show us the father. Jesus was and is the light of the world. He is the truth and the life. We must pay close and careful attention to what Jesus said and did to give us life more abundantly. Jed for them as well as, forgiving them and us. Jesus love His enemies, Jesus pray for them.

The Sermon on the mound is one of meekness. Jesus was meek. When we see Jesus, we see God. The Joy of Jesus is seeing God. God is love. When we experience true love we see God is Christ Jesus. The cross is where death meets life. Jesus gave His life so that we may live and see the Father God. This is the Joy of Jesus.

Living in God's Love

VOLUNTEER

I am God's love in expression.

By helping others through challenging times, we tap into our own inner strength. Offering a gentle and steady hand, an encouraging word or rolling up our sleeves and getting to work on behalf of others--these acts of caring fulfill us not only as human beings, but as sacred beings.

We reach out in love through the many ways we serve. It may be reading to a child or visiting an elderly patient in a nursing home; providing comfort and essential aid to residents in a disaster area, or caring for animals at a local shelter. We can give from the heart in a multitude of ways.

As good Samaritans who offer care and comfort to others, we answer the call to be God's love in expression.

God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."--Exodus 3:4

Peace is The Joy of Jesus

INNER PEACE

I abide in deep peace, and Christ is born in me.

As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus this Christmas season, we begin by making room for the Christ Spirit to be born anew in our own hearts. Jesus set the example for all humankind. He was not born into a world of peace, but rather, he brought his peace to the world.

As God's beloved child, I need not wait for the world around me to be peaceful before opening my heart and giving birth to the peace of God in me. Giving glory to God, I quiet my thoughts. In a moment of silent praise, I am filled with the peaceful Christ Presence. The Prince of Peace finds a home in my own heart. As I abide in deepest peace, heaven is established on earth, and Christ is born in me.

Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you."--John 20:21

PRAY FOR OTHERS

I behold the Christ in each person for whom I pray.

I begin my prayer for others by centering myself in the peace of God. From a consciousness of faith and peace of mind, I affirm: God is your help in every need.

As I pray for my dear ones, I hold an image of them in my mind that affirms the radiance of their being as a beloved child of God. If they are experiencing a health challenge, I behold them whole and well, functioning perfectly and enjoying life. If their need is financial, I envision them abundantly blessed, in the flow of God's good, with every need being met. If they are at a crossroads, I affirm they are being divinely guided along the path that is right for them.

With a faithful heart, I pray for others.

I pray that ... he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit.--Ephesians 3:16

HEALING

I radiate health in mind, body and spirit.

I may feel insignificant as I gaze at the vast expanse of a star-filled night or reflect upon the beauty and immensity of creation. But I, too, am a magnificently created expression of life. Each cell of my body is a universe of divine life and intelligence.

Although my well-being is enhanced by what I take into my body, healing is generated from the inside out. I turn within in prayer and meditation to affirm my health and wholeness at a cellular level. I cease all concern about what could be wrong with my body and affirm the renewal of vibrant life within me. As I hold a vision of myself radiant with life, I claim my true identity as a whole and healthy creation of God.

Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly. --Isaiah 58:8
