A Beautiful World Dr. James A. Lee

BEAUTY

I add beauty to an already beautiful world!

In some cultures people celebrate the start of May by leaving a basket of spring flowers at a neighbor's doorstep. Flowers are nature's inspiring gift to us all. Yet before a flower's outer beauty is revealed, the divine idea of inner beauty exists as potential within a tiny seed.

In much the same way, seeds of God-given potential are present within me, ready to blossom. As I live and learn and grow, my potential takes form, and my full beauty and purpose are revealed.

I set an intention this moment to fully express my inner beauty. Through prayer, I free my God-given inner qualities and allow them to blossom.

Let your adornment be the inner self with the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God's sight.--1 Peter 3:4

EXPECT THE BEST

God is my companion and guide at all times and in all places.

I may have certain expectations about my finances, relationships or future goals, but I don't place limits on the good I expect. My expectations are high, and my vision is wide--wide enough to include a world of unlimited possibilities. I release any struggle and have faith in God, my constant companion and guide.

An unexpected change--or even an expected one--might seem like the last thing I would ask for; but over time, its value becomes clear. My life is unfolding in divine order. As I remain at peace with what is and listen for divine direction, I move into new experiences with grace and ease. I cooperate with my spirit and expect only the best from this divine journey.

My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me.--John 10:27

High Praise Dr. James A. Lee

Home | Daily Word: "CONFIDENT
I move through my life with complete confidence.
At times I may forget I am complete and whole just as I am. If so, I consciously reconnect with God through prayer and meditation. My confidence increases as I remember I am one with Spirit, safe and secure.

Aware I am one with the One, I have nothing to fear. Everything I need is provided--strength, knowledge, faith, health, joy, peace and more. With confidence, I move forward, leaping into the unknown with courage. I do things I've always dreamed of doing and step beyond any perceived boundaries or obstacles. With a deep breath, I jump into life fully and feel the joy of passionate and confident living.

I myself feel confident about you, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness.--Romans 15:14"

The Peace You Need Dr. James A. Lee

INNER PEACE

I am tranquil as I experience love and peace within me.

As I walk along the shoreline, watch the sun rise at the start of the day, or listen to the patter of rain on my roof, I feel peace within me. Nature is a reminder that God is everywhere present.

Tranquility settles in as I contemplate the activity of God's spirit. I call forth peace and attune my inner ear to the word of divine guidance, encouragement, love and faith that emanates from within. The vastness, the power, the glory of God await me in my inner sanctuary.

As I face the daily demands of my life, and the occasional chaos, I remember the peace that lies within and draw from its strength. Nothing can disturb the peace of my soul.

Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.--Philippians 4:9
