Thought for the Day

​

We are all the same.

Let this be a mantra
which walks in the space before you
today, serving as a gentle reminder
that everyone and everything
is a part of you.

Then think of one person often today
with whom you frequently butt heads.

You know who I am speaking of.

You would walk to the other side
of the street in order to avoid
direct contact and constantly
make excuses to avoid seeing them.

Each time they come to mind
or you happen to be in their
physical presence, remind yourself,
we are the same.

For in truth, they are no less
beloved of God than are you.

How do you ever hope
to experience God directly
if you cannot find harmony
with this one you have judged
a vexation to your spirit?

You are not asked to like them,
but it it vital that you love them,
and love them with all of your heart.

For they are a very real part
of your essential being.

Prayer for the Day

​

Today I put my whole heart
into this practice.

Bless my efforts to deeply see.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

You can only open up to God
to the depth with which
you can open up lovingly
and unconditionally
to yourself, especially the parts

you do not necessarily like

and perhaps feel unwothy.

You can only be naked,
transparent and vulnerable
in the Presence of God to the extent
you have been so with yourself.

Thus, opening the floodgates to yourself
opens the floodgates to God.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Bless my heart.

Amen

Thought for the Day

​

The camera of your mind
has two lenses, ego and soul.

If you do not like the movie
of your life which you
are currently experiencing,
first try accepting the isness of it.

It is your creation after all.

And then consider questioning
the lens which is providing
you data.

Which lens am I looking through?

This is simple enough, is it not?

***

Prayer for the Day

Help me remain anchored
to True North today.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

My child...

A problem is not something
to fix or resolve.

Nor is it something to seek
deliverance from, something
from which to numb, avoid
or distract yourself so that
out of sight becomes out of mind.

A problem is a gift.

It is the highest act
which love may bestow.

You are being shown
the deepest aspects of yourself
manifested through whatever form
in which they happen to be
appearing in front of you.

How else would you get to see
all the unconscious parts of yourself
unless someone or something
was kind enough to trigger a reaction
so that through your love and acceptance,
you could bring more repressed parts
of your subconscious back
into the light?

Therefore, run toward yourself,
comfort yourself, support yourself,
and by all means, love the one
who is in most need
of your courage, acceptance
and loving-kindness.

Dare to be there fully
and consciously for yourself.

Be there for the one you're always with,
which happens to be none other than you.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

If I do not make a commitment
to be there for myself
in deeper and deeper ways,
who will?

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

All fear, and I do mean 100% of it,
means that you are believing
something which is not true.

So hit your pause button
the next time you feel afraid.

Remind yourself:

Fear means that I am disconnected
from my Source by my own choice.

Fear means that I am
actively choosing to believe
that I am alone & separate,
that someone or something
is not on my side.

Fear means I am hurling
out of control
on the horizontal axis.

In other words, I am deeply lost
in the weeds.

Fear is false events
appearing real.

Next, inquire within.

Which voice am I actively
listening to?

Remember that this recognition
is a doorway.

It is the opportunity
to realign with True North,
with the Presence of that
which knows nothing
of problems or suffering.

It is the living Presence
of my own true Self.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Today I make a commitment
to my own peaceful presence.

Grant me grace
that I might remain anchored
in the sunlight of spirit.

For this is the most earnest longing
of this heart which aches

so passionately

for God.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

What is meant by the statement
which says, "No one can see
two worlds"?

It is simply this.

No one can be in fear,
nor can they be wrestling
with thoughts or emotions, and
abide in their divinity
simultaneously.

Because this, dear friends,
is the difference between
heaven and hell.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Heaven is a decision
which only I
can choose
to make.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

There is no circumstance,
be it emotional, mental or physical
that will not shift positively
when you add love to the mix.

For every thought, every feeling,
every bodily sensation,
every encounter, as well as

every life experience is
nothing more and nothing less
than an doorway.

 

Which, should you choose

to waalk through it,
will open your heart to a love
without limits and a trust

which is unequivacal.

For all is always well in your world.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

I am beginning to see
that every experience in life
is a GIFT, an opportunity
to love even more;
authentically, with wild abandon,
and to trust.

May I be so brave.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

When you awaken, even before
your feet touch the floor,
set the following intention
each and every day:

I am LOVE. I am PEACE.
This is who and what I am.

Then whenever there is a decision
to be made or a choice at hand
take a moment to pause & ask yourself,
"What is the most loving and peaceful
response I can make?"

It is vital to remember this
when dealing with your own
thoughts and feelings.

How will you relate to you?

Because the secret is that
when you sow the seeds of
LOVE and PEACE,
you reap a future which
is kinder and lovelier than
you could possibly imagine.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

May the thought which reminds me
that I am LOVE, I am PEACE,
this is who and what I am
walk in the space
before me from henceforth
and forever more.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

Never confuse the mind
with truth.

For the mind's job is to provide
grist for the spiritual mill.

There are no problems
other than the ones
the mind miscreates.

***

Prayer for the Day

May my footsteps be so bright
that anyone may easily find
their way, even in
the darkest night.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

Commit today so that
tomorrow will be
a better day.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

I cannot imagine a world
where I actually made
the top of my list
each day.

May today be the start
of a new beginning.

Today, I invest in me.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

In the beginning, the middle
and the end, everything boils down to
one simple truth:

God is LOVE and therefore,
so is everyone and everything else.

Can you hear LOVE calling?

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Night and day, day and night,
I hear LOVE calling to me,
wooing me, poignantly constraining me,
"Come here. Come here. Come home
to your heart. I long to show you
what life is when lived from your heart."

"Will you come?"

"Come home to me,
my precious child,
for we have a life of care
to see about."

And so my effort dies.

Her in me, me in Her.

Where does one begin
and the other end?

As no life but Hers continues
in this frame She made.

 

Thank you, Mother.

***

Thought for the Day

​

God's love is in everything.

Even the things where it seems
most absent and everything
inside of you wants to believe
it is not here, it is not possible.

Remember this experience
is a doorway.

It is a profound opportunity for you.

Will you allow yourself
to feel the love
which is already here?

Will you dare to see
the everyone and everything
is worthy of more love,
not less?

***

Prayer for the Day

​

I choose to challenge myself
each and every moment
for the remainder
of my life.

Can I see this as an
opportunity to open my heart
ever more deeply
that I might love even more?

So may I live and love
all of my days.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

Above all else,
be gentle with yourself.

If you can master this lesson,
the world as you experience it,
will shift on its axis.

For a window of possibility
opens on behalf of one
who embodies kindness.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

It's the simple things
we commit to, practice
with consistency and repeat
over and over again
that make the biggest difference
in our lives.

Help me practice kindness
and gentleness with myself,
and help me do so with
great sincerity of heart,
for I would learn to
truly love myself
above all else.

Could this be the ancient hatred
that becomes a present love
which ACIM talks about?

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

Just a question to consider
tenderly and carefully today:

What do you think that your life
would look like every single day
if you approached it from a place
of deeply loving & supporting yourself?

***

Prayer for the Day

​

If I really and truly loved all of myself,
every day would be
a great day, for everything
which I experienced would be seen

as a call to love myself even more.

Let this then be my day
today and every day
from here on out.

Here is my line in the sand.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

Watch yourself carefully today.

Whenever you feel overcome
with inner conflict, fueled by
afflictive emotions, look within.

These states arise
because somewhere, along the line,
you chose to believe something
which was not true.

What was it?

Can you see it?

Identify it and discard it
without another thought.

For it is in the seeing of this
with charity, with kindness
and compassion
that peace returns
unhindered and unbound.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Rest in peace.

A statement for the living,
not the dead.

And so it is.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

Funny thing...

When you resolve the separation
within you through loving all of yourself
as you are,  which means

to be able to fully and deeply love

and accept everything which is

happening right now in your inner world

without trying to get rid of,

fix, change, or improve any of it, 

all the symptoms you are experiencing

go away, seemingly of their own accord.

And I do mean all of them.

That's the power of self-love.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Today is the day I fall in love with me.

Let loving myself no matter what
be the polestar of my existence
from henceforth and forevermore.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

It is vital that you clearly understand
that no one can see or experience
you in any way other than through
their own distorted lens.

Unless, of course, they abide
in & as the truth of their own being.

So how they happen to see you
tells you everything there is to know
about how they see & experience
themselves.

And it works conversely.

You cannot help but see your world
through your own distorted lens.
Thus, nothing is ever personal.

The world is as I am.

***

Prayer for the Day

Help me grasp this
in every atom, molecule
and particle of my being.

For herein lies the only FREEDOM
that there is.

Amen

***
