“Today is the day the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it …” What did the wise one mean by this? Are we to react to the beauty around us or the contrasted ugliness sensed? We are responsible for our thoughts and beliefs, and bring down upon ourselves the consequent experiences. Find appreciation in yourself; take control of your interpretations and conclusions. You are a particle of the Divine and have this power.
“Bidden or unbidden, God is present …” We see the signs of the reality of the Divine all around us, all the time, without limit. Gratitude and appreciation makes this blessing our own. Choose blessing.
Now, more than ever, the activation of gratitude of spiritual truth in each heart is relevant. Nature strives for balance, harmony, and a return of the “normal.” Remember, the Divine never made chaos, dissension, hurt, disease or death. These are non-truths, but seemingly frightening. Take heart, follow the words of the Master: “Little children, love one another.”
Nature, Intelligence, God never hurries. All there is is accomplished, unfolded, peacefully and perfectly assembled and produced, automatically. What a splendid and brilliant Universe we are part of, and no less an integral part of. Today is truly the day the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
According to the Gregorian calendar, this begins a new year. Yet every day begins a new year, with or without a label. What joys lie ahead? This is for you to acknowledge, savor and praise to the best of your ability. Nature is perfect symmetry and you are the perfect creation of Nature. What a great place to start.
Every day is the beginning of a new day, a reboot, a blank slate for you to fill with good images. If you feel locked in the darkness of the past, consider that you are a survivor with dreams of renewal and joy. We all have a purpose. It may not appear in the obvious, but rest assured, you will know in due time and you will realize that you are a marvel of Intelligence and goodness. Celebrate you.
The Christmas season is upon us. A beautiful end of a cycle and a time to celebrate the brilliance and hope brought to mankind by the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. What He taught, lived and demonstrated provides a “way” to our ultimate perfection. A Light unto the world. You are made in the same image and likeness. What will you do with this knowledge? Peace.
The perfect harmony, which is your basic Self, never leaves you – although you may turn from it through fear or belief. Harmony is with you always and you can align with this wonderful structure at any time. Sensing harmony’s presence is a pathway.
Open a brand new page for today, leaving the past behind. You are free to do this, forgiving everyone everything. Vow to yourself that everything is better than expected. You are also free to do this. Fly little bird.
The generation of gratitude, appreciation, is a palpable and real attitude of love, And Love is God. Take the moment to say thank you. Repeat this as often as you remember. This is truly “pray without ceasing.”
