Kindness is The Joy of Jesus

Kindness

With kindness I give; in kindness I live.

Today I choose to practice kindness. As I encounter others, I am happy to greet them. I think of them as traveling companions on life's journey. I offer a warm smile or a few words of appreciation to a friend or a stranger. Acts of kindness bring positive energy to both giver and receiver, then ripple out to bless others.



When I inquire about someone's day, I honor them by listening deeply to their reply. If I miss an opportunity for kindness, I am kind to the next person I meet, and I remember to be kind to myself.



However expressed, kindness honors the divine within us all. I affirm: With kindness I give, and in kindness I live.



Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor. --Proverbs 21:21

The Joy of Jesus is Peace for You

Inner Peace

The peace of God flows through me now.

As the song proclaims, "I've got peace like a river in my soul." Peace is like a river, for peace is the steady stream of God's presence. It saturates my being. I am sustained and fulfilled by the flow of divine peace within me.



Even as I experience the twists and turns of life, the peace of God is steady, carrying me gently along. Nothing can disturb the calm peace of my soul.



I feel that peace now. I feel it permeating my life, expressing through my everyday activities. I experience peace in my mind, in my heart, in my body, and peace in my soul. I draw strength from God's peace. Its energy blesses me with vitality, graces me with divine ideas and leads me on the right path.



Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.--1 Samuel 25:6

Affirming The God in You

AFFIRMATION

I affirm the presence of God made manifest.

Each of us has the God-given power to create. We use this power, consciously or unconsciously, every day. In thought, word and attitude, we are constantly affirming--speaking into being--outcomes. It is up to us to choose whether we affirm Truth and abundance, love and joy, wisdom and health--or their lack.

Today I choose to affirm God's goodness and abundance in every area of my life. I affirm health; I stand straight and breathe deeply. I affirm the abundance of everything I could possibly need.

I affirm the development of my talents and abilities; I affirm increased opportunity; I affirm harmony and order in all matters. I affirm the presence of God made manifest.

Hold to the standard of sound teaching that you have heard from me.--2 Timothy 1:13

We live in an over communicated world. Jesus said,"Let those with ears to hear, hear what the spirit has to say."

Focus on The Soul

FOCUS

My energy is focused on the fulfillment of my soul.

At any given time, I may be drawn to a number of goals, interests or opportunities. I bring these ideas to prayer to discern my next step. What am I called to do right now? If I am looking to achieve excellence in my field of interest or employment, I focus on the presence and power of God in me. Any anxiety I have will be translated into confidence, enabling me to do my very best.

As I immerse myself in my chosen activity and focus my energy, I have a clarity of purpose. My energy and enthusiasm are extensions of the energy of God. Through God, I discover my unlimited potential.

My life takes on new meaning and purpose as I focus my energy toward the fulfillment of my soul.

See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation!--2 Corinthians 6:2

The Joy of Jesus is Forgiving Others

Home | Daily Word

FORGIVE

I forgive by giving it all to God.

Because I desire a clean, nurturing home and workplace, I sweep away dust and remove clutter. Similarly, to be happy and peaceful, I must sweep away any unforgiveness that clutters my heart and mind. What I hold in my heart creates the emotional space I live in and share with others. Any unforgiveness I hold toward another creates resentment in me and leaves me bound to past experiences.

Instead, I choose to be free through forgiveness. If memories of old hurts arise, I give them all to God. I feel God's unconditional love dissolving my pain. Forgiveness given is forgiveness received. As I give it all to God, divine love sets me free.

For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.--Matthew 6:14
