It has been said: “If I wanted to hurt an enemy, I would encourage him to hate (or fear) something or someone.” Be aware, the negative thoughts about others affect the thinker first. Strive to appreciate, value, praise — for your own sake.

Why not unconditional love. What does it feel like. Why prefer this over that. We now know there is no thing in the Universe. Thing-ness is a mental construct. Why not make it divine?

Another day, another new page, another chance for a do-over. “This is the day the Lord hath made …”
Rejoicing (appreciating) and celebrating your abundant nature. Thriving is natural. Aligning your thinking with universal good is your choice, and your responsibility, and your participation is required. You are Life itself, with all the potential possible to a child of God.

Nature works harmoniously and efficiently and produces the most gorgeous phenomena. Do you see that you are part of this glorious Nature? Note Jesus’ statement in Matthew, “Consider the lillies of the field. They neither toil nor spin … that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these …” Are we not of this pure substance? Something to feel gratitude for as you move through your day.
Starting your day with gratitude, starts your day with joy. Choose wisely. You’re worth it.
Why not forgive? Why allow the tragic past to bring more suffering, when it is finished and done? Allow the bright new day to unfold without the burdens of the stagnant past. You can do it. Free yourself of the anchors.
Could you increase those moments of praise, for self or others or the world? Praise is frequently mentioned in the Scriptures. Do you think this is a random idea? Think again. Notice the positive feelings accompanying praise. They well up within you from the Kingdom Within. Praise God.
Without doubt, so much is possible. Doubt blocks our enjoyment of the glorious life we have by nature. Doubt clouds our vision with dreams of failure and loss. Doubt is a heavy burden. Consider confidence. How to allow confidence in your daily thinking? Maybe take note of your many successes. And there are many such.
Analyze your weaknesses. Are you not fearing a memory of a distant past? See that your present joy is cultivated by your recognition and appreciation of the bounty that embraces you. You are “made in the image and likeness,” are you not? Awake to the unceasing good in the Kingdom Within.
Remember to praise, to pray without ceasing, to utilize the natural harmony of life. Use your capacity for memory for authentic goods. All hurts, fears, weaknesses are simply illusions which will fade from memory when truth is unfolded and used. You are so loved. “Beloved, now are we the sons of God…”
