I imagine Jesus’ experience, riding a young donkey through the gates of Jerusalem, seeing the waving palm branches, feeling the people’s love, hope, and even their fear as they shout, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.”
His followers looked to Jesus as the one who would free them from the bondage of Roman rule. Jesus, embracing the CHRIST PRINCIPLE, which is identical in all people, had accepted the greater mission of leading humankind to freedom from all bondage, all limitation, even freedom from death.
Taking my inspiration from Jesus’ example, I fearlessly embrace the CHRIST PRINCIPLE, my DIVINITY, as …
I have forgiven those who have hurt and disappointed me. Forgiveness happens when I am willing to let go of everything I have erroneously added to another’s person’s innate DIVINITY.
In turn, I have been grateful when others extended kindness, grace and forgiveness to me.
While I can forgive others, I may find it difficult to forgive myself perhaps for mistakes, disappointments, and broken commitments.
I know everyone makes mistakes and deserves understanding and forgiveness, even me. I remember self-forgiveness happens when I accept myself and let go of everything I have erroneously added to my innate DIVINITY.
I focus on the PRINCIPLES of BENEVOLENCE and GENEROSITY as I grant myself a huge helping of kindness and grace; I love, honor, accept and forgive myself.
I joyously forgive myself.

How do I have the energy to achieve my goals and carry on through challenging times? How do I have the energy to learn, grow, and change when I decide to do new things?
Everything I decide to do requires energy. I put a demand on my POWER of LIFE for energizing and vitalizing myself around what I decide to do.
Like any other of aspect my DIVINITY, my POWER of LIFE is inexhaustible and is never used up. IT is fundamental to anything requiring energy. If my muscles are tired or my mind seems frazzled, I call on my POWER of LIFE.
I powerfully claim LIFE to manifest energy flowing in my mind and body with the force of a mighty waterfall. I am grateful for my renewal.
The road to world peace begins with my openhearted acceptance of those who are different than me. We are fully DIVINE and fully human. In our DIVINITY we are one; in our humanity we are gloriously diverse.
Our world is vast and diverse; its people create a wide variety of cultures and histories. The more I learn about those whose lives differ from mine, the more I can appreciate their perspectives and empathize with their struggles.
When I make the decision to deeply listen and understand, my judgment fades as my compassion grows.
Today I sow peace through acceptance, understanding and compassion. Peace in the world grows as I join my brothers and sisters in celebrating the glory of our human diversity while experiencing oneness in our DIVINITY.
