Each of us is born with an internal navigational system. The thinking of the world has a way of switching the system off, but we can always turn it on again through prayer, meditation and forgiveness. Doing this puts us back on track in our lives, making us wise, convicted and powerful.
By bringing the past into the present, we create a future just like the past. By letting the past go, we make room for miracles.
What if we truly believed that there is a beneficent order to things, a force that's holding things together without our conscious control? What if we could see, in our daily lives, the working of that force? What if we believed it loved us somehow and cared for us, and protected us? What if we believed we could afford to relax?
Yes, hardships come. But I see in my life and in the lives of others how often something that does not have to be held as a hardship is dealt with by the mind as though it is.
No matter what mistakes we might have made yesterday, today is the day we can retrieve our innocence.
Dear God, I surrender this thought to you, for I would see the miracle that lies behind it. Amen.
It doesn't take money to turn off the television and cultivate real bonding time.
The gap is not between knowing it and living it, it's between knowing it and living it consistently. You know, we've all had moments when we got it right. Most of us have moments when we get it right every day. The trouble is getting it right when a curve-ball comes at us.
Conviction is a force multiplier. If you want something, claim it in your gut. The universe itself responds to your inner certainty.
To look to God is to look to the realm of consciousness that can deliver us from the pain of living.
Governments move armies, but only individuals can move hearts. And with every act of love that emanates from any of us, we are activating miracles, adding to a spiritual ocean that in time will purify our planet of all vestiges of fear. Love alone can triumph over hate, and if we give it the chance, it will.
For what we engage, we transform. And what we engage with our hearts is transformed forever.
Stop waiting for a producer. Produce yourself.
Fear unchecked grows exponentially. Love poured forth has the power to remove it. Thus is the power of God in our lives
