Create

DIVINE CREATIVITY FLOWS THROUGH ME NOW.

We use the power of imagination to visualize, conceptualize, and create. Every day I have an opportunity to create something new. I may use my imagination to design or write, to compose or invent, to give birth to divine ideas.

I am a spiritual artist, using imagination to create my world. My thoughts, words, and actions are the means by which I manifest. Together they yield rich experiences and opportunities.

In silent meditation, I listen for the still small voice within. As I create from God-inspired thought, experiences of love, joy, and peace emerge. My life is a creative expression of God at work in me.

I made the earth, and created humankind upon it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.—Isaiah 45:12

Everlasting Love

I RELAX AND OPEN MY HEART TO THE ALL-EMBRACING, EVERLASTING LOVE OF GOD.

God’s love never waivers. Yet there may be times when I close my heart to knowing the presence of Divine Love. Perhaps I am feeling ashamed or undeserving of love, or my heart is hardened by anger or resentment. Perhaps I feel I must wait until I achieve a particular goal before I allow myself to feel beloved of God.

I now move beyond these barriers.I breathe deeply and remember that God’s love is always mine to have—and to share! In this moment, God’s grace transcends any limited or limiting notions of undeservedness. I gratefully allow God’s loving-kindness to flow freely in and through me, healing and transforming not only me, but the entire world.

The Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.—Jeremiah 31:3

Courage

I AM COURAGEOUS.

I may think of courage as something to summon when danger lurks. Yet at times, I need courage even when no danger or difficulty is apparent. I need courage when unfounded fears cloud my mind and heart. I need courage when I have allowed circumstances to distract me from God’s good and ever-present power.

No matter what has caused my fear, I can look beyond appearances to the reality—to God—and take courage.

Knowing there is One Presence and One Power gives me the courage to stand strong and release any fears. I know God is present for myself, for my family and friends, and for people all over the world who are facing challenges of any kind.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord.—Psalm 31:24

Inner Peace

PEACE BECKONS FROM WITHIN.

Many of us have found ourselves at some point in our lives asking for a sign—a sign to let us know we will make it through a trying situation, that everything will be okay; a sign to put our troubled hearts and minds at ease. Yet we know peace doesn’t come from outside of us—peace emanates from within.

As we engage in prayer and silent meditation, we untangle tightly knotted worries. We release the practice of reliving a past we cannot change or worrying about a future that may never happen.

Peace beckons us from within. As we respond to the call of peace, we relax into an experience of inner stillness, one which no outer sign can provide and no outer circumstance can take away.

Peace be to you; do not fear.—Judges 6:23

Acceptance

I LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF AND OTHERS.

People come in all shapes and sizes, each with their own values, ideas, and customs. Each individual is a unique gift of God, with inner beauty and divine potential. Although a person’s words and actions may sometimes obscure their true nature, it is always visible through the eyes of Love.

I accept others as I accept myself. I, too, am a unique light in the world: a light kindled by Spirit and fueled by the love of God within. Nothing can extinguish the light that shines in me. When challenges arise, I accept them as stepping-stones to a greater awareness of my soul’s journey and the power of God within.

Each of us is one-of-a-kind, worthy of love, and deserving of good.

Hear, my child, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many.—Proverbs 4:10

Satisfied Soul

I KEEP MY MIND ON GOD, AND MY SOUL IS SATISFIED.

A beautiful sunset, the sound of laughter, the tastes and smells of my favorite foods—these enrich my life and satisfy my senses. But how do I satisfy my soul? Jesus taught, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

As I keep my mind on God, I gain a sense of God’s love for me. I return that love by answering the call to a higher purpose.

With a heart full of God’s love, I joyfully express it to others. In exchange for anger, I offer understanding. For confusion, I offer clarity. For sadness, I offer comfort. With my mind and heart on God, my life is filled with meaning. I give thanks and sing praises, for in loving God, my soul is satisfied.

My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips.—Psalm 63:5
