Christmas Day

I CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS WITH JOY, PEACE AND LOVE.

Today my heart is filled with joy for the gift of God, the gift of the Christ Child. Humbly I stand in the presence of God’s gift­—eternal radiance, everlasting love and perfect peace. This is an eternal day of joyous receiving from the Spirit of God, a day of giving love and happiness, good will, peace and substance to all people of the world in the name of Jesus Christ.

With joy, I claim the power of Christ Consciousness, the power that cleanses my mind, heart and soul of any disharmony, any weakness, any fear. Christ-power goes out from me today in a healing blessing to all.

Every gift I offer and receive is permeated with the love of the Christ, spreading joy, good will and cheer.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!—2 Corinthians 9:15

Silence

I AM A WHOLE AND HOLY BEING.

The Silence is sacred. In the Silence, there is no confusion, no doubt, no fear. Resting in God, I am aware that the Holy Presence surrounds me and is within me. Any mistaken thought or belief that I am separate from my Creator dissipates.

In the Silence, I discern this sacred message: “Be still and know that I am God.” My heart responds, “Yes, I know,” and with this knowing, my soul is uplifted. I feel a gentle ebb and flow as all regret and sadness wash away, and I am filled with joy.

I nurture myself with times of sacred silence. Resting fully in the presence of God for even a few moments, I receive the assurance that I am one with the Holy Presence. I am a whole and holy being.

Peace! Be still!—Mark 4:39

Joy

I RELAX AND LET JOY FLOW FREELY.

I elevate my life and my spiritual journey by calling forth joy—the natural joy that is inherently mine. Joy does not come from outer events and circumstances; it bubbles up from within. While events may trigger happiness and excitement, joy is part of who I am as a child of God.

As I consciously connect with the Christ in me through contemplation, meditation and prayer, I feel a rush of joy—the rebirth of my Christ Consciousness. This is true joy, and it is harmonizing and healing. It uplifts me regardless of what might be happening around me.

I trust in the activity of the Christ in me and in my life. I relax and let joy flow freely.

I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.—John 15:11

Healing

I THINK, FEEL AND FOSTER HEALTH  AND WHOLENESS.

My thoughts are powerful. This is especially evident with respect to my health. When I hold thoughts of strength and vitality, I am receptive to the healing energy of God. When I hold thoughts of joy and peace, I am open to God’s soothing spirit.

Just as I can reset my computer when it malfunctions, I can reset my thoughts and habits when they are destructive. I shift my thoughts from worry and fear to hope and healing. I shift my lifestyle from inactive to lively and replace unhealthy choices with beneficial foods and activities.

Through my thoughts and actions, I begin a new plan of health and wholeness, blessing myself in mind, body and spirit.

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed.—Jeremiah 17:14
