I discover more and more that Joy and Peace are the result of resting in God in prayer and meditation and bringing  kindness and love to everyone I encounter each day. Because God is Love, my journey  through life must always be a gentle walk in Love toward all.  When I am not loving, I am putting up obstacles to experiencing God.  So, no negativity in thoughts, words or actions throughout this day.  I will look and see LOVE everywhere.  I will listen and experience God’s Loving Presence in everything and in everyone.  MY SOUL WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD throughout this day.

BREATH ON ME, BREATH OF GOD, TILL I AM WHOLLY THINE, TILL ALL THIS EARTHLY PART OF ME GLOWS WITH THY FIRE DIVINE.

Each day I become more aware of God’s Loving Presence embracing me and filling me with peace.  But I must humbly ask for God’s help.  Then I begin to realize that God only wants to pour Love into me and for me to pour LOVE into others by kind thoughts, words and actions.  God is always breathing LOVE into me at each moment of my life. My journey, in this very brief life, is to become open and receptive to God’s Love by an abundance of prayer, meditation and bringing LOVE to others.  There can be no room for anger, criticism or condemning others.  What a peaceful way to live.

FOR WHEN I AM POWERLESS, IT IS THEN THAT I AM STRONG.  FOR MY POWER IS MAKE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.  When I can humbly admit my powerlessness and my weaknesses and express this to my HIGHER POWER, GOD, I find that God will take over in each moment of this day.  God will lift me up into a profound connection because now in my powerlessness I am not resisting God but allowing God to take over in each present moment of this day.  MY GOD AND MY ALL.
