Inner Kingdom

IN HEAVEN WITHIN, I FIND ALL THE JOYS I HAVE SOUGHT IN HEAVEN WITHOUT.

When you find the inner kingdom, you will discover that it contains all you have anticipated finding in some external or far-away heaven. Here and now you can live the life of harmony and joy you expected to live at some distant time and place. By reaching spiritual consciousness, by finding the kingdom of heaven within, you can enjoy heaven right here.

What are the glories of heaven? Perfect understanding and the seeing of all things in their proper relationship. Your inheritance from God is heavenly joys. You receive these through consciousness. If your consciousness is right, time and place do not matter to you. If you have a consciousness of heaven here and now, you will enjoy heaven here and now.

Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.—Matthew 25:34

Optimism

I MEET MY LIFE WITH A BRIGHT OUTLOOK. LIFE IS GOOD.

Life is good and beautiful. When I look at the world with optimism, my heart is light, my smile is bright, and my day is full of good cheer.

On any given day, the sky may be filled with clouds instead of sunshine, but I decide whether to name the weather “good” or “bad.” Even if clouds are in the way, the sun is always shining!

Similarly, I choose how to view the changing conditions of my life. If sickness appears, wholeness is still my underlying truth. Behind any experience of lack lies an ever-expanding source of wealth. I always look for the good in life, even when it is hidden. I affirm the positive and call it forth. I meet my life with optimism!

A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.—Proverbs 17:22

Recovery - Monday, June 30, 2014 | Daily Word

I AM COURAGEOUS AND STRONG.

My faith in the constructive, restoring, and rebuilding power of God within me ignites my healing and recovery. My faith strengthens me and empowers me to overcome mishaps or misjudgments and to make new choices that expand my life in positive ways.

Through the power and presence of God, I have the ability to recover from health issues, financial difficulties, or habits that have been harmful to me. I don’t shrink from life’s challenges; instead, I rise to them. I make choices that help me live a healthier and happier life.

I am an overcomer, moving forward with courage. As I do, my world expands and I live the life I have dreamed.

Be strong and of good courage, and act.—1 Chronicles 28:20

Joy

I AM ONE WITH SPIRIT, ONE WITH JOY.

Nothing surpasses the joy of Spirit; nothing is stronger than the indwelling Divine Presence.

Joy is always available, regardless of outer conditions, other people, or adverse circumstances. If I ever lose touch with inner joy, if I ever feel discouraged that life does not seem to be going my way, I simply bring myself back to center. I look within to find that joy has never left me. I am loved. I am strong. I am one with God in every way. My sense of joy returns as I allow my consciousness to rise to an awareness of Spirit’s unmovable presence and power.

Joy is as natural to me as breathing and smiling, because Spirit is with and within me at all times.

God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness.—Hebrews 1:9

Let Go, Let God - Saturday, June 28, 2014 | Daily Word

I LET GO AND LET THE LIGHT OF GOD SHINE.

If I ever feel weighed down with responsibility, I consider whether I have unduly taken on the cares and concerns of others. Do I feel responsible for their success and well­-being? God is the One Source, available to meet every need for everyone. Each of us has access to divine wisdom, strength, creativity, understanding, and love. God is in relationship with each of us.

I pray for my loved ones and release them to the path unfolding for their highest good. My focus is on my relationship with the Divine. Guided by God, I do my part with joy and peace. Beholding the Divine power in myself and others, I let go and know God is there for us all.

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.—Psalm 62:8

Inner Peace - Friday, June 27, 2014 | Daily Word

DIVINE PEACE CALMS MY MIND AND LIFTS MY SPIRIT.

I declare peace in my life today by choosing peace-filled thoughts. If I have been dwelling on worries, regrets, or deadlines, I stop, take a breath, and imagine a tranquil scene. I see myself sitting by the ocean, taking a walk in the woods, or meditating in a quiet, sacred space. My body relaxes and any tension fades into nothingness.

I bless myself with these moments of peace, which lift my spirit, enhance my creativity, and focus my mind. Remaining attuned to divine peace, I am undisturbed in any circumstance. As peace emanates from within, I impart calm and composure to the situations of my life. My serenity spreads to others. Peace begets peace.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with all of you.—2 Thessalonians 3:16
