Renewal is part of the rhythm of daily life. Eating and drinking to nourish and replenish my body, resting to quiet my mind, and sleeping after a day of activity are some of the ways I renew myself.
Even so, my spiritual renewal is most important, especially at those times when I feel drained at depth. I declare I am fully DIVINE and fully human. It is up to me to keep my awareness of my DIVINITY strong. It is through prayer and meditation that I synchronize my humanity with my DIVINTY.
In the morning, I claim ease and grace for my day. During the day, I pause and remember my DIVINITY. As I go to sleep, I feel deep gratitude for my day. In all these ways, I renew myself moment by moment, day by day.
GOD is PRINCIPLE that is made up of an infinite number of PRINCIPLES including DOMINION and OMNIPRESENCE. IT is the non-changeable realm that is the basis of the entire changeable realm – both physical and non-physical. It cannot be seen, tasted, or touched but it can be perceived and discerned by anyone’s consciousness. PRINCIPLE is the resource I use for manifesting myself and the life I live.
If I ever doubt the presence of PRINCIPLE, upon reflection, I need only behold the world around me and remember that PRINCIPLE is the starting point and the raw material for everything. My ideas, dreams, and all that I do are some of the ways I express PRINCIPLE. Living from my DIVINITY, living from my awareness of PRINCIPLE, I AM the light of the world!
Great power lies within me, like a treasure chest full of gold and precious jewels buried in my own backyard. It is so close that I sometimes overlook it, leading me to search near and far, seeking strength and value outside myself. Yet my personal power is based on and manifested from my innate POWER of POWER, sometimes called DOMINION.
My POWERs of WISDOM and LOVE along with the PRINCIPLE of CREATIVITY and OTHERs are innate-gemstones I can discover, learn to express, and share with the world. I am rich in my capacity to use these inherent PRINCIPLEs to reach goals as I intentionally create my life. I think, feel, speak, and behave in accordance with abilities derived from my DIVINITY. I shine light on the hidden parts of myself, knowing my personal power comes from expressing my best self.
Seeking inner guidance means tuning out my senses and the opinions of others while turning inward. Then, with my open heart and quiet mind, I can better feel the nudge of my intuition, my inner knower.
Sometimes, I perceive my inner guidance in subtle ways. Just as sunflowers innately follow the sun, I have the instinct to trust my inner knower. Even if my inner guidance surprises me, it always arises in a vast field of peace with no sense of urgency.
I have learned to listen and follow it. I hear the still, small voice within and give particular attention to any serendipitous circumstances I find along the way. As I do, I strengthen my ability to listen even more deeply.
GOD is the PRINCIPLE that contains all PRINCIPLES. JOY is one of those PRINCIPLES present in ITs entirety at every point in space all at the same time.
In John’s gospel, Jesus prays his disciples and those who hear his message will experience the joy he knows. I share in Jesus’ joy as I remember I am expressing joy from my DIVINITY.
My ability to express love, life, wisdom, and all other qualities based on PRINCIPLE is limited only by my willingness to live from my spiritual nature. I am DIVINE and my DIVINITY is identical to the DIVINE everywhere and in everyone.
The joy Jesus described remains with me no matter what is happening around me because it is not based on any outer thing or person. My joy is derived from the PRINCIPLE of JOY.
The DIVINE is PRINCIPLE, present in IT’s entirety at every point in space at the same time. (Adapted from Butterworth, Eric, Practical Metaphysics: A New Insight in Truth, P. 157) I use PRINCIPLE to guide, make whole, and harmonize. I choose to give grace based on the PRINCIPLES of BENEVOLENCE and GENEROSITY.
At the very moment I may want to punish myself or someone else for a perceived transgression, I reach deep and choose grace for myself and others.
I release any thought that I am unworthy of grace. Nothing I could do or fail to do would ever disturb my DIVINE IDENTITY. Grace is a simple choice. It cannot be earned or bought. Because PRINCIPLE cannot be used up, the grace I offer is inexhaustible. I can relax in complete trust because more will be available as I need it.
We use the POWER of ELIMNATION to release, let go, and renounce. All living things release in one way or another; Without release, there is no life.
Just as I would not fill my closet with clothes that no longer fit, I do not fill my life with beliefs and ideas that no longer reflect who I am and who I’m becoming.
Releasing is also a powerful way to live my faith. I trust I am moving in the right direction. I release items from my past with ease, grace and gratitude.
Release creates space in my life for new things. It is my way of remaining open to possibility, welcoming new opportunities, and keeping myself in the flow of life. Release is an important aspect of my spiritual practice.
There may be days or even weeks on the calendar when I find myself mysteriously feeling melancholy or blue, only to realize the anniversary of someone or something I have loved and lost is approaching. Even when I don’t realize it outright, a part of me remembers and responds. As I honor my feelings, I honor the people and places that have helped me evolve and from whom I have learned.
Welcoming my feelings brings deep and abiding comfort. I carry those people and places I love in my mind, heart, and the things I do. I keep their memory alive in me. Gradually, I find smiles within the sadness. Revisiting treasured memories reveals the love within the loss. The awareness of my DIVINITY is found within each moment. I find comfort through my grateful heart.
There is only one POWER and one PRESENCE in the universe and in my life. GOD is PRINCIPLE consisting of OMNIPOTENCE, OMNISCIENCE, OMNIPRESENCE, and so much more. GOD, PRINCIPLE, is my innate DIVINITY.
As I realize these TRUTHS in my heart, I feel calm and secure. The circumstances of the world and the people around me have no lasting impact on me. My DIVINITY is unchanging, timeless, and unending. Therefore, my DIVINITY is more enduring than anything I may face. No one, no thing, no situation or event has any power over my consciousness.
I can and do access POWER and PRESENCE at any time. As I pray, I assert DIVINE STRENGTH and POWER are mine. In renewed faith, I use these DIVINE POWERS and OTHERS to move beyond that which may scare or intimidate me.
There is nothing quite like a mother’s love, so nurturing, caring, and warm.
Today I bless all the women in my life who express this love in all they do. Whether it’s my biological mother who raised me or any of the other women who so generously shared a motherly love with me. I have felt their care through their tender touch and encouraging words. Over the years, I have grown strong and confident under their kind direction, re-direction, and have relied upon their wisdom.
Mothers express their DIVINITY using their humanity to share loving words and caring hands. They effortlessly express motherly love. I bless and am grateful for them in my life. I remember they are 100% DIVINE and 100% human as they have shared themselves so generously with me.
