WHATEVER THE QUESTION, LOVE IS MY ANSWER.

From time to time, I may encounter difficulty in my relationships. If I consider another person a problem in my life, I have the opportunity to change that perception. Love is the law and the fulfillment of law. God is love, and love is the answer to all discord and disappointment.

I put aside any doubts, fears or judgments about others. Even if the choice feels difficult, I choose love. God always meets me more than halfway, giving me the courage and strength to live with an open heart.

Whenever there is a call for love, I answer with loving-kindness. As love flows from me, the energy of love surrounds me and others. I am filled with abundant life and joy when I love unconditionally.

He said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.”—Luke 10:28

Prosperity - Monday, July 30, 2012 | Daily Word

Prosperity

THROUGH MY CONNECTION WITH GOD, ALL MY NEEDS ARE ABUNDANTLY MET.

Signs of prosperity abound—trees full with fruit, countless stars shining in the sky, myriad wildflowers carpeting roadside fields. I can choose to notice and appreciate these signs of abundance or I can seek and find evidence of lack.

If I allow my mind to dwell on thoughts of limitation, I invite feelings of deprivation. Instead, I fill my mind with the awareness of God’s presence, and I focus on abundant good. I think about the people I have loved, the kindnesses I have received, and the opportunities I have been given. The more I think about how prosperous I am, the more prosperous I feel. The more prosperous I feel, the more willing I am to claim the prosperity that is mine by divine birthright.

For to those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance.—Matthew 13:12

Joy - Sunday, July 29, 2012 | Daily Word

Joy

THE CHRIST LIGHT FILLS MY HEART WITH JOY.

When my joy emanates from the Christ within, it is unwavering and infused with wondrous power. The Christ Light—the Spirit of joy enthroned in my heart—brings eternal joy and happiness. It radiates from the center of my being to the very circumference of my world. Outer conditions do not affect such joy, for it has its foundation and substance in God.

Joy welling up from my heart quickens my mind, animates my body, and shines its rays of gladness into my environment. Joy produces order and satisfaction in my life.

I keep my Christ Light shining by using it, by daily drawing more of its essence from God within, and by letting it shine into the world to bless others. The joy of Christ is mine now and always.

You will have joy and gladness.—Luke 1:14

We need You

Have you ever come to a point in your life when you were truly need? There was a man who wanted to be blessed. However, he needed to be carried to the pool of blessings because he could not walk. Jesus heard his cry. The man only wanted to be helped. But Jesus simply told him to get-up and walk.

Often people want and need certain things in life, that may be the wrong thing all together. We may want a job but may really need a business. We may ask for money budget.

We must have faith in Jesus. We must continue to support The Joy of Jesus. It is our prayer that you would indeed pray for us as we pray for and the world in Jesus Name....

Free

I AM ONE WITH GOD, AND I AM FREE!

A skein of geese gliding against a clear blue sky is a simple image of freedom. Their V-shaped formation points to their destination. How often do I yearn for that same sense of freedom?

In Truth, I am free. I may not physically fly above the trees, but I have the freedom of Spirit that allows me to choose my path. I can focus on where I have been, where I am, or where I want to go. I can hold on to fearful thoughts or open my mind to unlimited possibilities.

I choose to allow the spirit of God within to guide me to greater freedom than I can imagine. I am free to live, learn and enjoy all the wonders of this life. I am one with God—no greater freedom exists.

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm … do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.—Galatians 5:1

Pray for Others - Friday, July 27, 2012 | Daily Word

Pray for Others

OUR PRAYERS HAVE POWER.

When I pray affirmatively, I create a sacred and powerful prayer consciousness. In this awareness, I stand in the Truth of my Being. I acknowledge the impact prayer has on my body, mind and soul. I witness the power of prayer in my life.

I then open my heart to pray for others. I hold humankind in my heart, for we are one. Each person is my brother, sister, a loved one. Prayer unites us in sacred communion with God and one another.

Prayer consciousness spans the globe, and our prayers are powerful. We pray for peace, wholeness and love. We share prayers of thanksgiving and 123456789-affirmations of Truth, and lives are transformed.

Brothers and sisters, pray for us, so that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified everywhere, just as it is among you.—2 Thessalonians 3:1

Inner Peace - Thursday, July 26, 2012 | Daily Word

Inner Peace

I AM IN HARMONY WITH THE SERENITY IN MY SOUL.

Good communication is vital in any relationship; however, with the abundance of media channels available these days, I could easily find myself in “communication overload” with little time for contemplation and silence.

To release any overwhelming feelings and reconnect with my spiritual nature, I take time to attune to the peace of God that is always within me. Several times a day, I take a break to become still and get in touch with the peace of my soul. A wonderful feeling of relaxation flows through my body as I silently rest in the presence of absolute peace.

This blessed awareness of inner peace stays with me as I move throughout my day. I am refreshed and ready for what is mine to do.

My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.—Exodus 33:14
