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…”

“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.
