The Universe is sending you the right everything. You won’t realize this until you fully show up in the situation the way it is. In other words, whatever the circumstance, if you assume that the circumstance is perfect, then you live fully within that circumstance. How can I be the best I can be within the circumstance that is…

THINK ONLY GOOD
Resist pessimism and negative thinking both in private and national life. Think only good. “Think God.” Whatever your trouble, put God, and thoughts of God, in place of that trouble. Think godly things. Even if he or she does not appear to be doing so, see that your brother-sister is striving towards God. See the…
LIFE AND MEANING
Long life is indeed a blessing, but maybe we overdo our concern for the length of our lives and give insufficient attention to the passion we bring to whatever time we have. The meaning and purpose of life are great mysteries, and in that light a very brief life, of only minutes, can be full…
STILLNESS
In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. ~ Deepak Chopra ~ When you are facing chaotic situations, change your perspective and ask yourself if the situation is going to matter a year from now. If not, let it go. Learn to let go of all the stuff you can’t control….
GOD’S VISION – THE SOUL
There is a place in each of us that is so beautiful, angels smile in its presence. That presence is who you really are. When you can stand spiritually naked, look at yourself and like what you see, you have achieved a great feat. ~ Ron Rathbun ~ Most of us have a hard…
HARMONY OF THOUGHT, WORD AND DEED
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. ~ Mohandas K.

OUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY
Sweet Spirit: Your love needs to express through each willing soul who is dedicated to his or her spiritual journey. Let me be that willing soul. Move through me, work through me, love through me, live through me. And so it is. Amen. Our spiritual journey begins with our birth, and continues throughout our life….
I WILL BE GLAD
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy; for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities. ~ Psalms 31:7 ~ God knows everything about us. When we read the Word of God we know that we have a secure and certain future for God will never allow us to suffer…
LOOK WITHIN YOUR OWN HEART
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. ~ Carl Jung ~ When we look inside our own heart, our vision can begin to become clear. We discover what we are, who we are, and what we truly believe. When we ignore our heart, we see through a fog of dreams…
LUMINOSITY
The universe works with a more varied palette than do the venues of power and influence acknowledged by the world. The universe is like an infinitely powerful computer, registering a spark of willingness on anyone’s part to receive the light and then impart it to others. As we pray and meditate, attuning our hearts and minds to God, we…
DON’T JUDGE
If you judge people, you have no time to love them. ~ Mother Teresa ~ Instead of judging someone, we need to allow ourselves to see the whole person. Often we will find there is so much strength and attraction in a person when we are less judgmental and more loving. We can enjoy the essence…
LETTING GO
The power of losing control is about learning how to let go of trying to control the uncontrollable outcomes and circumstances in our lives. To do anything else is a blueprint for living a life that is driven by stress, fear, and disappointment. I’m not suggesting that we shouldn’t do everything we can to make our dreams and desires…
BECOMING MORE SPIRITUAL
We receive principle in different ways at different ages. We receive principle in different ways given our experiences. But principle itself is really very simple. And so we we’re talking about these basics and I am reminded once again that all spiritual teaching is basics. As I’ve said so many times; becoming more advanced spiritually does not mean…
HEALING PRAYER
Sweet Spirit – Today is a gift and I am so very grateful. All of my needs are met. There is peace in my heart and a deep sense of connection to the people around me. Today, I am mindful of people who are facing medical challenges and the professionals who work in the medical field. May both the…
WISDOM OF THE MIND
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind. ~ Kahlil Gibran ~ Confucius once said that there were three ways to learn wisdom: “First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest;…
WINTER WARMTH
Winter is the time of love and of taking the light within. ~ Terry Lynn Taylor ~ Winter, it is a beautiful time of the year…if you are inside. Tis’ the season, though, to step outside. Take a walk around the block to get your blood pumping. But just like many animals that undergo hibernation, we…
OUR MIND – AN INFORMING OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and…
CONSCIOUSNESS IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Abundance is not attracted to lack. Abundance is attracted to abundance. Consciousness precedes matter. So if you are thinking, “Well, I lack a job, I lack the money, I lack blah, blah, blah,” the universe will just reflect back to you – lack. But if you say a job can be taken away from me…
OUR RELATIONSHIPS
I accept relationship as my primary teacher about myself, other people, and the mysteries of the universe. ~ Gay Hendricks ~ Relationships are what makes us all tick. We appreciate the people we love, whether friends or family. Their words sink deep into our hearts, not just our minds. That’s why the most effective…
Marianne Williamson on HEALING
When we’re truly honest with ourselves, our problem is not that opportunities for success haven’t appeared. God is always expanding our possibilities. We are given plenty of opportunities, but we tend to undermine them. Our conflicted energies sabotage everything. To ask for another relationship or another job is not particularly helpful if we’re going to…
MY GUIDE IS JOY
I want my life to be one that God will be pleased with; I’m by no means a saint. I’ve still got nooks and crannies of things that need to be dealt with. But my eye is on the prize. He’s not done with me yet. ~ Kem ~ “The person in life that you will…
LOOK FOR THE POSITIVE
When was the last time you embraced a situation that you didn’t like? Did you complain through the entire experience or did you run away from the situation altogether? If you did either, you missed a wonderful opportunity to be something that you’ve never been before. It just might have been that one thing that…
Marianne Williamson on OUR LIGHT TO SHINE
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. …
THE SPIRIT OF GOD
Before the world can move beyond classism, sexism, territorialism, or racism, the church will have to move beyond religionism. When we allow ourselves to operate in the spirit God, we know that there is no such thing as “I’m better than you,” and we end up focusing on our similarities rather than our differences. When…
