Transition

I AM OPEN AND RECEPTIVE TO ALL OF LIFE’S CHANGES.

In many regions, autumn is a time of change and transition. The air becomes cooler, the leaves change color and fall to the ground, and days become shorter.

Just as the seasons change to allow God’s life-giving cycle to do its powerful work, my life changes to allow God’s life-giving presence to do its work in me. Every change is an opportunity to experience new blessings and new joys and to become more spiritually attuned.

Life is activity, movement and growth. I have no interest in resisting change; rather, I have a receptive spirit, an open mind and a willingness to learn.

I give thanks for the transitions—the changes—in my life. I give thanks that my life is filled with wonder and newness.

I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing.—Ezekiel 34:26

Higher Power

A HIGHER POWER IS WORKING IN AND THROUGH ME.

Whether I am feeling on top of the world or going through a rough time, I know a Higher Power is supporting and guiding me. My life experiences remind me of the power of God’s love in my life. During tough times, I may wonder if I have the energy to face what is before me. As I release the need to know every outcome, I turn my concerns over to my Higher Power. I have faith that all will work out. Even though I may not yet be able to see the results, I trust in a divine outcome.

When life is going smoothly and opportunities are flourishing, I remember to thank God—the Universe—my Higher Power that is working in and through me at all times, guiding and supporting me in all ways.

Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.—Psalm 147:5

World Peace

PEACE IN THE WORLD BEGINS WITH ME.

The journey toward world peace begins with me, right here and right now. As I hold a vision of peace for this generation and the next, I search for ways to contribute to a peaceful world. Everyone, including me, deserves to be accepted and treated with compassion. I consciously treat others with respect and kindness.

As changes occur in my life, I honor my feelings and give myself permission to move through them gently, and I allow others to do the same. When someone I know is angry or upset, I honor their process. If I find myself being judgmental, I modify my thoughts and responses. I am kind, peaceful and loving toward others and myself.

Peace in the world begins with me.

He came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and … to those who were near.—Ephesians 2:17

Grace - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 | Daily Word: "Grace
THE GRACE OF GOD FILLS MY LIFE WITH GOOD.
God’s grace is always at work in my life, whether I realize it or not. Grace is a gift from God that never ceases, blessing me in countless ways.

I behold the grace of God in the mysteries and intricacies of nature. I experience the grace of God as intuition that guides me in right ways. I feel it as revitalizing strength in mind and body. I rely on God’s grace as my protection in all situations.

The grace of God is always with me and within me. It is my assurance that I am never alone. It is my support in following a divinely directed path.

I give thanks for this divine gift, so freely given, and for the blessings of God’s grace in my life each day.

Each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ‘s gift.—Ephesians 4:7"

Choice

I CHOOSE TO BE INSPIRED BY SPIRIT.

I have choices to make every day. However well-intended others may be in offering advice, I am responsible for my own decisions. I filter information and opinions through my own awareness of divine wisdom.

I choose first to become receptive to Divine Mind. Through prayer and meditation, I am led to a deeper understanding of what is right for me. The inspiration I receive is the foundation for my choices.

As I center my mind and heart on God, the pure light of understanding shines within me. Any confusion is relieved as I consider my choices and follow my inner guidance.

My life unfolds in positive ways as I act from the inspiration of Spirit within.

Like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation … Each builder must choose with care how to build on it.—1 Corinthians 3:10

Enthusiasm

ENTHUSIASM IS THE ATTITUDE I BRING TO ALL I DO.

Whatever is before me to do, whether a mundane task or a new adventure, I am energized knowing it is part of my life’s expression. Every place I go and everything I do is an integral part of the Holy Spirit of Life.

In the simple ritual of washing a dish or sweeping a room, I catch a glimpse of peace and grace flowing through me, and I adopt a new attitude about my chores. If I am learning a new skill or beginning an ambitious project, I sense the wisdom and strength of God within me. I am propelled forward with new energy.

Stretching my capabilities with enthusiasm expands my expression of God. I am unlimited in what I can do through God in me. I am alive, enthusiastic and grateful!

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