Awakening

OPENING MY MIND AND HEART TO GOD, I AWAKEN TO MY POTENTIAL.

Sometimes I underestimate myself and minimize what I am capable of accomplishing. Yet right now, I can make a conscious decision to stop worrying and start believing in myself and the power of God within me.

Opening my mind and heart to God’s love and support, I awaken to my potential. I am inspired and energized as the fog of concern lifts. I recognize myself as a beloved creation.

I say yes to life and try new things. My newfound confidence invites others to trust and support me as well.

Every day, I awaken anew to my life. I am grateful for who I am and all that I can accomplish through the power of God within.

I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us be on our way.—John 14:31

Divine Order - Tuesday, June 19, 2012 | Daily Word

Divine Order

MY WORLD IS SET IN ORDER THROUGH SPIRIT’S ACTIVITY WITHIN ME.

If the circumstances in my life seem chaotic, I let divine order inspire me. In meditation, I recognize the power of divine order. No matter how confused or inharmonious conditions may seem in my life, the power of God to establish order is the one true power.

I harmonize with Spirit and open the way for divine order to manifest in all I think and do. As divine order takes hold in my mind, disturbing thoughts are stilled, and their disruptive influence in my life and environment ceases. Peace permeates my heart, understanding fills my thoughts, and harmony infuses my relationships.

I keep the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. —Psalm 16:8

Forgive - Monday, June 18, 2012 | Daily Word

Forgive

I FORGIVE AND IMMEDIATELY FEEL THE GRACE OF GOD.

It’s never a good idea to put off forgiveness. Instead, each time forgiveness comes to mind, I take action. I picture who or what I am angry about, offer a blessing and release the feelings to God. I may need to do this multiple times, and that is okay. When forgiveness seems too difficult, I pray for grace and faith.

I forgive those who are a part of my life now or have been in the past. I forgive circumstances that did not turn out as I hoped. I forgive myself for anything I did or didn’t do. As I forgive, compassion fills my heart, making it easier to forgive the next time.

Each time I realize I am holding on to a hurt, I forgive, and I am strengthened.

Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies.—1 Peter 4:11

Happy Father's Day

A Father’s Blessing -

A Father’s Blessing

MAY EVERY FATHER BE BLESSED WITH STRENGTH AND WISDOM.

In many nations, today is a day set aside to bless and celebrate our fathers. I take this opportunity to honor the strength, leadership, guidance and wisdom of my father and others who have mentored and supported me in my life. I am grateful for the strength and wisdom of fathers throughout the world who encourage and support their children.

Strength and wisdom are spiritual attributes given to us by God. I give thanks for their highest and fullest expression. As I regard these divine qualities in others, I also develop them more fully within. As I honor and value the strong and wise parent or mentor, I commit to being a blessing and a good example to the children in my own life.

With God are wisdom and strength; he has counsel and understanding. —Job 12:13

Have you ever wondered what God was thinking and why? Do you ever take the time and think about the current events and ask Lord what does this mean? Often the affairs of this world can be rather baffling at best. War; hatred, poverty, social economics and death have all been called into question as to what the future may hold. Have you ever prayed about what can happen next?

The Christian living is one of faith. We walk in the believe that the will of God is perfect. However, there are situations that can occur that can give one, a moment of pause. For instance, when a celebrity dies in a tragic fashion. People become shocked and outraged. Then they move on with their daily affairs. Yet, at some point: have you ever asked God for meaning or direction?

The message that God gave us is clear to the household of faith. God so loved the world that he gave His Son, so that we who believe; will not walk in darkness, but in the light of The Lord. Jesus said, let not your heart be troubled, believe in God and believe also in Me.

Jesus gave His life on the the cross for all the sins of the world. God raised Him with all power and glory on the third day. This is our faith. Jesus will return one day. The question is: will you be ready? We must stay in pray for this day. All that we may experience is just to make us ready. The Holy Spirit has provide this message. Please feel free to share it: we pray in Jesus name.

Comfort - Daily Word

Comfort -

Comfort

I AM EMBRACED BY GOD’S COMFORT.

A hammock rocks me gently above the ground, swaying easily back and forth. A mother cradles her infant child, protecting and nurturing her baby. A friend reaches for the hand of another, offering support and love.

Comfort is expressed in many ways, each one an example of God at work in and through us. I freely give comfort when I notice a need. I express it by being generous, kind and compassionate.

I am also receptive to the comfort offered to me, and I receive these gifts of love with gratitude. If ever I feel alone, I turn to God’s indwelling spirit for comfort. I rest in the knowledge that all is well. God is with me.

I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.—Matthew 25:36
