Faith

WITH FAITH IN GOD, I ACT WITH EASE AND CONFIDENCE.

Faith is the assurance that, even in uncertain circumstances, all is unfolding as it should. In faith, I move confidently through each day.

Faith is an innate understanding that God and I are one. If I temporarily forget this truth, I turn within in prayer. Prayer revives my understanding and illumines the way to greater success.

With faith, I can do all things. With faith, I am whole in body, mind, and spirit. With faith, I know that nothing is impossible. Whatever my goals or aspirations, I accomplish them through faith in the power of God within me. My faith is solid, for God is my strength, my understanding, and my constant companion.

What is seen was made from things that are not visible.—Hebrews 11:3

Expansiveness

I EXPAND MY VISION TO SEE UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES.

I see beyond the parameters I have accepted in the past, to behold a world of unlimited possibilities. As my vision expands, I create space for more good, more love, more giving, more opportunities, and more spiritual understanding.

Intellectually, I know my spirit is unlimited. As I study and practice spiritual principles, my awareness of the Christ within me expands as well. I accept and express more of my divine nature. I embrace my full potential as I navigate through life. I realize greater clarity of purpose and new ways to contribute my gifts to bless others.

I am open and receptive as I journey along the path Jesus showed was possible for us all.

Raise your eyes now, and look from the place where you are …; for all the land that you see I will give to you.–Genesis 13:14-15

Kindness

MANY ARE BLESSED BY A SINGLE ACT OF KINDNESS.

When I observe someone being kind to another person, there are three simultaneous benefits. The person receiving the kindness feels cared for and valued. The person expressing the kindness feels the joy of giving, and of having a positive impact on another’s life.

But there is a third beneficiary of this encounter—me! When I observe an act of kindness, love and hope spring up in me. As I watch the interaction between the giver and receiver, I, too, am blessed.

With this in mind, I choose to uplift others. I demonstrate kindness, consideration, compassion, and patience—gifts from the heart—knowing the effects ripple out to bless unseen others.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness.—Galatians 5:22

Fortunate

MY FORTUNE LIES IN THE ETERNAL FLOW OF GOD’S LOVE.

My fortune is not in a bank or a portfolio. It is not even in the most breathtaking view of nature or the melody of the sweetest song. Although I am grateful for every tangible gift that enriches my life, I claim an eternal fortune greater than any material good.

My fortune lies in knowing that I am one with God. This knowing is my assurance of infinite supply, ever-present healing life, and unconditional love enfolding me and those I care about.

I do not fear my fortune will be lost, stolen, or destroyed for it is part of who I am. I am a child of the Divine Creator, forever in the flow of love.

Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal.—Matthew 6:20

Optimistic

I CARRY ON WITH A SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM.

Why does a seed buried in darkness grow rather than decay and die? Sunlight calls it to greater life, and the seedling springs forth. Why do birds awaken and sing before first light? Their inner spirit responds to the promise of a new dawn.

Optimism is essential to all of life. I am optimistic, for I, too, can feel the warmth of sunlight and the promise of new beginnings. The spirit of God within calls me to expect the best. Even in difficult situations, I am not discouraged. My faith deepens and worry fades as God’s light and love pour through my heart.

A morning bird greets me with its clear and joyous song, and I look forward to the coming day. Enfolded in God’s loving care, I press on with optimism.

Hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts.—Romans 5:5

New Venture

I SAY YES TO A NEW VENTURE AND SUCCESS SAYS YES TO ME!

Even though a new venture may cause me to feel excitement one moment and apprehension the next, I step into it boldly, fully expecting my good.

This opportunity is an idea whose time has come, so I do not allow the magnitude of the task to overwhelm or intimidate me. I have within me all the wisdom, strength and clarity I need to meet the challenge at hand.

If roadblocks appear, I focus on and cele­brate every triumph, even the small ones. I learn from disappointments and remain undeterred by detours—they are merely spiritual stepping-stones.

What I do makes a difference. I am fully equipped to step into my new venture with confidence and resolve.

I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.—Job 42:2

It's all about Jesus by Dr.James A. Lee 04/15/13 Free to Share Author requests article critique  SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE   HIRE THIS WRITER   What is the meaning of life? This question has been pondered by the greatest minds on earth. Our governments get lost in war and money so much that it has only created more problems. The core values of life have been overshadowed by the news of the day that is often forgotten the very next day. There are so many people living in poverty and no one seems to care. Jesus cared because He lived in poverty. The History Channel has taken on the task of depicting the Bible on T.V. We get an opportunity to study such questions as to who was Jesus? There is much speculation as to who was Jesus, just as there is to the meaning of life? Is it true that the two questions are actually one answer? That Jesus is life, the truth, and the way? The mystery of God is that Jesus is the meaning of life. Jesus is the truth. He lived and died in such a manner that tells us that He died on the cross for our sins. Jesus is all about love. God is love. We need more love today. God raised Jesus from the dead because of love. Jesus will indeed return with all power and glory. Jesus and God are one. We too can be at one as well, this is what it is all about if we only have the faith of a mustard seed. This is The Joy of Jesus and the meaning of life.
