Elders

IN CONNECTING WITH GOD AND HUMANITY, I EXPERIENCE THE WISDOM OF THE AGES.

Wisdom is often held by our elders—those who have lived long, faced tragedy and triumph, and learned the lessons of life. We are blessed as they hand down wisdom from generation to generation.

Our elders have lived through immense change in our modes of travel, communication, business, and culture. I honor how they have contributed positively to our society’s progress with their talents, ingenuity, and courage.

As my elders share their wisdom with me, I grow toward becoming a wise elder myself. I welcome the opportunity to learn and to share my lessons with others.

We speak God’s wisdom, secret and hidden, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. –1 Corinthians 2:7

Comfort

I AM SECURE AND COMFORTED BY THE SPIRIT.

A harsh rebuke or an unexpected challenge may prompt me to feel upset or confused. Although I may attempt to understand the situation by ruminating on it, some experiences are best understood not in the head, but in the heart.

I step aside and take a moment to myself, breathing deeply and reconnecting with Spirit. I remember I am a beloved expression of God, guided by divine wisdom.

As I focus on the presence of Spirit within me, I am comforted. No words or circumstances can separate me from God. I realize that circumstances come and go, but God is always here—with me, in me, and as me. As I let go of hurt or confusion, I am secure and comforted in the spirit of God.

As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you.—Isaiah 66:13

Harmony

I AM ONE WITH THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

The word harmony is often used to describe the balance of notes and sounds in music, but harmony also describes a life in balance. I achieve balance more easily when I attune to the presence of God expressing in and through me.

The Divine Presence is stronger and more stable than any discord or conflict. It is a constant, steady force that brings concordance to my thoughts, words, and actions. Through an awareness of God, I experience greater peace and balance. I know that with God, every circumstance encountered and every dream imagined can contribute to harmony and order in my life and the lives of others.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord … to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night, to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.—Psalm 92:1-3

I LOOK ON THE LIGHTER, BRIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE.

Maintaining a sense of humor helps me navigate life’s challenges. If I am troubled or worried, I treat myself gently and lighten up. I trust the power of Love within to guide me through any situation.

God’s love helps me rise above circumstances. It empowers me to proceed with optimism and courage and relieves any burden I am carrying. I open my heart to Love and feel the lightness of God uplift me.

Divine love is a gentle reminder that I am never alone. It is the eternal presence of hope within me. In God’s love, I remember not to take things too seriously—to look on the lighter, brighter side of life.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.—Psalm 23:6
