Reach Out

I REACH OUT TO LIFE, AND LIFE REACHES OUT TO ME!

When I reach out to life, life always reaches out to me. I begin by examining my thoughts and attitudes. Have I thought life was passing me by? Have I felt unneeded or unimportant? If so, I shift my thoughts. It is never too late to expand my horizons, to participate in life more fully, to look at life differently.

If I have allowed my life to become routine, or shut out new interests or friendships, I prepare to make a change. I reach out, break out of my shell, and become a vibrant life-participant. I have much to give to life, and life has much to give to me.

God’s spirit in me is always nudging me to express more love, more joy, more enthusiasm. I respond by saying yes!

Get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit!—Ezekiel 18:31

Harmony

MY GIFTS ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF DIVINE HARMONY.

On the day I was born, I brought a unique song into the world. It is a song only I can express—a divine manifestation. It is essential to the great oneness of us all. No puzzle is finished without all the pieces, and no melody is complete without all the notes.

If I withhold the talents that are mine to give, I create an incomplete harmony in the world. If I try to make myself a copy of someone else, I create disharmony within myself.

Spirit has blessed us all with gifts, and I celebrate mine. No one else has my smile, my laughter, my love, or my voice. As I share from Spirit, I find nothing lacking. I give freely in harmony with the good that Spirit provides for me and for us all.

To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.—1 Corinthians 12:7

Blessed

A GENEROUS HEART BLESSES ALL.

Generosity nurtures our lives like the sun’s warmth nurtures tender buds to blossom. Blessed by the sun’s generous sharing of light, a beautiful expression of realized potential bursts free from containment.

I am grateful for acts of generosity that have supported me in times of need. I have known the gift of an encouraging word or an unexpected opportunity, so I reciprocate and give to others. The more freely I give to life, the more freely life gives back to me.

In return for the kindness I have received, I express loving-kindness to others. Just as a brilliantly colored flower evokes a smile, a kindness shared spurs appreciation. The cycle continues and all are blessed.

You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity.—2 Corinthians 9:11

Comfort

DIVINE LOVE COMFORTS MY HEART AND SOUL.

The love of family, friends, and pets helps me feel cared for and supported. Beyond this, I am comforted in times of need by divine love pouring into me from the Source of life itself. I open my heart to let the love that is God fill and soothe me. I rest in the awareness that I am one with the peaceful presence of God.

I am reassured knowing that divine love enfolds and infills me. I am comforted knowing the people and animals I love are safe in God’s care and keeping. Nothing can separate us from God. Nothing can separate us from God’s love. When my heart and soul need comforting, I relax into the presence of divine love, and I am at peace.

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come … will be able to separate us from the love of God.–Romans 8:38-39

Passion

I DEMONSTRATE A SPIRIT OF LIFE AND ZEAL.

I am eager to serve God and others and be the best that I can be. I do this most fully when I love what I do and express that love in words and actions. When I am passionate about something, that passion shows in all I say and do. I excite and enliven others with my passion and allow it to carry me to new heights.

My deepest desire is to demonstrate the spirit of God within—a spirit of life and zeal. Spirit within fuels my passion and spurs me to right action.

I am encouraged and committed as I stay connected to the spirit of God through prayer. Prayer lights the fire within me. If my motivation lags, a moment of quiet prayer rekindles my passion and reignites my zeal.

Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.—Romans 12:11

Divine Order

DIVINE ORDER IS ESTABLISHED IN MY MIND AND IN MY LIFE.

Disorder comes from disorderly thinking or a lack of proper planning. If I want to put my work or home life in order, clear thinking is necessary.

The Universe operates in an orderly manner. With this in mind, I seek to align my thoughts and my life with divine order. Becoming still helps me accomplish this. So I take a few moments to meditate in the Silence.

Divine laws are written on the hearts of humankind. In the Silence, my heart and mind open to the law of divine order. Through meditation and prayer, order is revealed. Returning to my day, I allow it to come into full expression. Divine order is established in my mind and in my life.

I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts.—Jeremiah 31:33
