Protected - Thursday, December 27, 2012 | Daily Word

Protected

THROUGH MY GOD-GIVEN POWER OF FREE WILL, I AM PROTECTED.

Winter is often called “cold and flu season.” While an inoculation may protect me from measles or the flu, I also have an inner protection that immunizes me. I am free from negative thinking as I choose positive thoughts. The opinions of otherpeople, the day’s news or even challenging circumstances cannot dictate my attitude or outlook.

My oneness with Spirit provides me with all I need. Inner guidance, strength, faith and understanding are divine qualities I embody. I observe outer conditions without labeling them as worrisome or difficult, and choose to imagine the best possible outcomes for me and for others. Through my God-given power of free will, I am protected.

You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.—John 8:32

Unity - Wednesday, December 26, 2012 | Daily Word

Unity

WE ARE ONE.

Some communities we are born into; others we adopt along the way. Whether our community is based on culture, geography, family or spirituality, when we share a common purpose, we join in unity.

Beyond our own communities, we recognize that everyone is part of the global community. Here on Mother Earth, we are one. In oneness, we cooperate for the common good. Rather than asking, “What’s in it for me?” we ask, “What will best serve the world?”

Embracing our similarities and our differences, we relinquish thoughts of scarcity and competition. In unity, we extend support to the worldwide community. We love and support one another.

The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me.—John 17:22-23

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 - Monday, December 24, 2012 | Daily Word

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
