I FORGIVE AND MAKE A FRESH START.

Mountain climbing with a heavy pack is difficult and burdensome, especially if the pack is full of unnecessary items. That’s how it feels when I carry the weight of resentment or anger with me day after day. Yet through the practice of forgiveness, I am able to let these burdens go.

In prayer, I release to God all grudges, resentment, and unforgiving thoughts I may have held against others. I ask for relief and willingly let go of any sorrows from the past so I am open to the blessings of today.

Through forgiveness, I free myself to enjoy life fully. My load is lightened and my burden is lifted. Today is a new day, a time to make a fresh start, a day filled with unlimited good.

If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.—Matthew 6:14

I AM FEARLESS ABOUT MY BRIGHT FUTURE.

No matter the date on my birth certificate, I am ageless! My life is renewed with every breath, with every new moment. I do not allow my biological age to define or restrict me. In Spirit, I am unlimited and fully capable of great achievements no matter when I was born.

I gently relinquish any fears I may have about the aging process. I do not lament natural changes taking place in my body. I remain young at heart by maintaining a positive attitude, which inspires me to think, act, and appear youthful. I am free to live a joyful, graceful, and continually refreshed life, for at any age, in Spirit, I am ageless!

The righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the Lord ... In old age they still produce fruit.—Psalm 92:12-14

Wisdom

I SEE THE WORLD CLEARLY FROM MY HEART AND SOUL.

Wisdom is more than intellectual discernment or logic; it comes from the heart and soul. With wisdom, I look beyond appearances and perceive the divine potential inherent within every circumstance and every person, including myself.

Through my prayer practice, I develop and strengthen my ability to make wise choices. I connect with Source and open my heart and mind to possibilities I did not recognize before. A daily connection with my divine nature helps me listen deeply, see clearly, choose wisely, and advance joyfully. From within the sweet silence of prayer, new possibilities arise and my capacity for wise discernment grows.

You desire truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.—Psalm 51:6

Path - Monday, June 02, 2014 | Daily Word

I AM AN ADVENTUROUS, FAITH-FILLED, COURAGEOUS EXPLORER.

Unity poet James Dillet Freeman wrote, “Life is a road that winds among the hills of time. With every turn in the road, an old view vanishes, a new view appears. Life is a pilgrimage, a passage through eternity, a journey ...”

Sometimes my path is smooth. Other times I may stumble over obstacles or tire from the climb. No matter how steep or winding the course, I follow the path before me. I know that through every twist and turn of life, God is with and within me as my light and guide. Each day calls me to journey with God in confidence and to grow in spiritual understanding.

I am an adventurous, faith-filled, courageous explorer with a fresh new day on the horizon.

You show me the path of life.—Psalm 16:11

Thrive

I THRIVE FROM THE INSIDE OUT!

Just as wild flowers bloom and flourish on a rocky mountainside, my life can thrive in less-than-ideal conditions. It is not outer but inner conditions that determine my health and well-being.

At the center of me is God—the very wellspring of life, the source of all good, all love, all life, and all joy. I am most at peace when I stop struggling to change outer conditions and turn within.

As I attune to the harmonious vibration of Divine Love, I feel utmost joy. I experience complete satisfaction as I am filled with the enormity of Infinite Spirit. I am restored and uplifted. Within me is all the wisdom I need to make loving, life-affirming choices. Within me is all I need to thrive!

To get wisdom is to love oneself; to keep understanding is to prosper.—Proverbs 19:8

Togetherness - Saturday, May 31, 2014 | Daily Word

AS LOVE IS GIVEN, LOVE IS RECEIVED.

We are social beings, and our lives are enriched when we come together to live and work, play and celebrate, worship and share.

I recognize and appreciate the people in my life, and I let them know it. I am quick to offer a helping hand. When I am with others, I give them my full attention. I am present and available. I listen and share.

If I have lost touch with a friend or loved one, I reach out and let them know they are on my heart and in my thoughts.

It never fails—when love is given, love is returned in untold ways. I love and appreciate the many people who bless my life.

They spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people.–Acts 2:46, 47

I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL!

Even when circumstances are not what I hoped for, I find an aspect for which to be grateful. Even when my outer world changes, I am grateful for the unchanging spirit of God in me.

Spirit gives me life. I draw on perfect life with every breath. Spirit provides me love. I am loved unconditionally and I share that love with others. Spirit provides me peace. I liberate myself from burdensome thoughts and struggles as I reconnect with inner stillness.

I am thankful for all that Spirit provides. Although outer conditions shift and change, I remain centered in gratitude for the divine gifts that are mine.

Thank you, God, for everything!

Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks.—Hebrews 12:28
