Positive Daily Inspiration – September 30, 2022 – Choose This Day

“Choose this day whom you will serve … as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15

When you choose to serve God, you choose to serve love because God is love. There are always two choices in every situation, in every circumstance, in every relationship. We can affirm the negative or we can affirm the positive. Our choice determines the tenor of life itself.

The word “deny” means “to declare untrue.” With God’s help, we choose to deny the power of any negative thought or influence. We declare untrue any thought or feeling inside of us that is not up to the standard of God’s love. We align ourselves with the goodness of God and God’s creation.

To affirm is to declare something to be true. We positively affirm that God is in charge, and all is well. We affirm that, with God, all things are working together for the good of all. We affirm that God’s love and happiness are God’s will for all of God’s children.

Looking at others, or looking at ourselves, we consciously choose to deny the negative and to affirm the positive. We choose, this day, to be on the side of God, on the side of good, on the side of love.

We choose to do this in all three time zones: past, present, and future.

The forgiving love of Jesus Christ sets you free. You are forgiven, and you feel loved. Following God, you give the same to others.

Some people have been known to carry a burden of anger, or even self-guilt, for years, over something that we did to another that we now know was not right. The forgiving love of God accepts and loves you, and you choose to accept and love others. The love of God lifts the burdens and sets us free to be all that we were meant to be. We no longer sit in judgment of ourselves, or of others; we accept God’s love and forgiveness.

We can forgive ourselves; we can forgive others; we can be free to love again, as we open our hearts to the forgiving love of God. We can even break down barriers that have stood between us and another for decades. We make a choice to live a full, productive life through living, and acting from the love of God.

Today is a new day, a day to let love through.

In Ephesians 4: 31, 32 our Bible states, “Let all bitterness … be put away from you … forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

Truly the love of God sets us free this day! We choose to accept and use it!

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

God, make me brave for life:
oh, braver than this.
Let me straighten after pain,
as a tree straightens after the rain,
Shining and lovely again.
God, make me brave for life;
much braver than this.
As the blown grass lifts, let me rise
From sorrow with quiet eyes,
Knowing Thy way is wise.
God, make me brave, life brings
Such blinding things.
Help me to keep my sight.
Help me to see aright
That out of dark comes light.
(Author Unknown)

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I am excitable and excited again about the common ordinary things of my life.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.”
E.E. Cummings
