Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God; and we receive from him whatever we ask. (1 John 3:21, 22)
LET GO OF THE PAST AND OPEN THE WAY TO GREATER GOOD.
At times we may find it easier to be kind to others than we are to ourselves. We may criticize ourselves more harshly or obsess over mistakes we have made. Yet we can free ourselves from self-condemnation by acknowledging and releasing our past mistakes. We have grown, and we know better now.
When we find ourselves dwelling on the past, we can affirm: We bless the experience and everyone concerned. We have learned and grown. We are now free to more fully express the qualities of God in us.
As we let go of the past and lay down our burdens and regrets, we open the way to greater good, which we are now ready to receive.

WE ARE ATTUNED TO DIVINE LOVE AND WISDOM.
We are an explorer on a journey of self-discovery and soul growth. We set goals, work toward them, and hold a vision for our future. While our path may take surprising turns, our life journey is a fulfilling one. For guidance in navigating the twists and turns, we rely on the presence of God in us. Seeking wisdom and direction, we quiet our mind, relax, and focus our attention on the presence of Spirit within us. We ask, then wait, assured that answers will come. Guidance comes in various forms, through a variety of channels. Opening our hearts and minds to receive, we feel at peace when the answers arise.

HARMONY
Clothe Yourselves With Love, Which Binds Everything Together In Perfect Harmony. (Colossians 3:14)
Harmony within relationships enriches our life. I seek affinity with family, friends, and associates. We may each see life differently, but as we hear each other’s ideas and suggestions, and respectfully discuss any agreements or disagreements, we compose a harmonious song.
Musical notes combine to produce a masterpiece. In the same way, the varying qualities and gifts of individuals combine to make a greater whole. Harmonious relationships are blessing.

What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9)
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
Blinders on a racehorse keep him focused on the finish line by narrowing his view. However, if we narrow our sight too much, we may not see the breadth of opportunities available to us. Goals are great as long as we remain open to something better! With our eyes open to the fullness of Spirit, we see the infinite possibilities available to us. We are not limited to any one path. Spirit is infinite. Divine wisdom guides us to our highest and best life.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. (John 15:12)
Unconditional love is within us, as we gently embrace all aspects of ourselves and others. When we see as God sees, separation and judgment disappear. Everyone is an expression of the Divine. The salesman in the store is my brother. The woman taking tickets at the concert is my sister. Living from an awareness of God’s love, we become as accepting as a young child. We see beyond differences and enthusiastically celebrate others.

ALL YOUR WORKS SHALL GIVE THANKS TO YOU O LORD, AND ALL YOUR FAITHFUL SHALL BLESS YOU (PSALM 145:10)
Painting is enhanced or diminished by the quality of lighting in an art gallery. Faith affects life just as light impacts art. Neglecting to invest in the depth and quality of our spiritual faith, our life can lose its color, brilliance, and beauty. Our life is not actually diminished, we have simply lost touch with God’s radiance. Taking time to connect with the one, true, invisible Source in prayer, you will notice how the visible world comes alive. Our life and affairs are seen as they truly are illumined by the Divine.
I am grateful for my faith, which enhances my true vision. By my faith, I see God the Good everywhere, in all people and in all circumstances.
