Thankful

IN THIS VERY MOMENT, I AM THANKFUL.

Today I conduct a gratitude experiment. How much gratitude can I feel and express during the next 24 hours? I look around and count the many blessings in my life.

I reflect on all I have and all I’ve experienced, and I am excited about what is to come. I am thankful for a whole and healthy body, for divine ideas that propel my dreams into reality, for the foundation of divine support I feel. People I cherish come to mind—my family, friends and neighbors—and I am thankful for each of them.

Gratitude expands and fills my entire body with light and love. I practice gratitude throughout each day, because it feels so good.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.—Colossians 3:15

I SHARE MY GIFTS WITH JOY, EXCITEMENT AND PASSION.

Spirit within is always calling me toward the desires of my heart. I needn’t worry that I’m not ready or worthy to pursue them. When I am willing to be more, do more, and share more, Spirit provides everything I need for success. My joy, excitement and passion tell me I am moving in the right direction.

I am willing to share my gifts and talents, knowing the world needs every one of us to open to our greatest potential. Even if I do not feel fully prepared, Spirit works within me and others, to synchronize timing and provide resources for the highest good of all. Fueled by my passion, I step into a flow of positive energy that carries me forward and expands my life.

For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has—not according to what one does not have.—2 Corinthians 8:12

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

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.

Jesus knows what we need. He will give us so much more. Jesus gave His life on the cross for our betterment. God raised Jesus from the grave. Jesus will return to set all things right. 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....
