“If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.”
Galatians 5:25

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned. Couldn’t concentrate.

Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn’t hack it, so they gave me the ax.

After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn’t suited for it. Mainly because it was a so-so job.

Next, I tried working in a muffler factory but that was exhausting.

I wanted to be a barber, but I just couldn’t cut it.

Then I tried to be a chef. I figured it would add a little spice to my life but I just didn’t have the thyme.

I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn’t have any patients.

I became a professional fisherman but discovered that I couldn’t live on my net income.

I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.

So, then I got a job in a gymnasium, but they said I wasn’t fit for the job.

Next, I found being an electrician interesting, but the work was shocking.

After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it.

My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.

A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just passing by. He gets into the taxi and the driver says, “Perfect timing. You’re just like Frank.”

Passenger: “Who?”
Cabbie: “Frank. Frank Feldman. He’s a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank every single time.”

Passenger: “There are always a few clouds over everybody.”
Cabbie: “Not Frank. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy.”

Passenger: “Sounds like he was something really special.”

Cabbie: “There’s more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody’s birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to use. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank could do everything right.”

Passenger: “Wow, some guy then.”

Cabbie: “He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong. And his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman.”

Passenger: “An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?”

Cabbie: “Well, I never actually met Frank. He died and I married his wife.”

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I am so thankful that You fill me with Your light and show me the way. You gently guide me so that I am sure and steady. You lead me to a place where I can be most helpful, and You remind me to be confident and stand firm once I am there. You direct my thoughts so that I am enriched by Divine ideas. Dear God, here are my hands, my heart, my whole being. I want to be Your light and love in action. I am ready to spread goodwill wherever I am.

In Jesus Christ name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I applied my efforts with God. God’s joy is established in me and in my life. God’s joy governs me in all that I do!

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 17, 2022 - Saturday Inspiration

(Submitted with our great thanks)

“The kingdom of God is among you.” Luke 17:21

THE WEATHERED OLD BARN

A stranger came by the other day, with an offer that set me to thinking. He wanted to buy the old barn that sits out by the highway. I told him, right off, he was crazy. He was a city type; you could tell by his clothes, his car, his hands, and the way he talked. He said he was driving by and saw that beautiful barn sitting out in the tall grass, and wanted to know if it was for sale. I told him he had a funny idea of beauty.

Sure, it was a handsome building, in its day. But then, there’s been a lot of winters pass with their snow and ice and howling wind. The summer suns beat down on that old barn ’til all the paint’s gone, and the wood has turned silver, gray. Now the old building leans a good deal, looking kind of tired. Yet, that fellow called it beautiful.

That set me to thinking. I walked out to the field and just stood there, gazing at that old barn. The stranger said he planned to use the lumber to line the walls of his den, in a new country home he’s building down the road. He said you couldn’t get paint that beautiful. Only years of standing in the weather, bearing the storms, and scorching sun, only that can produce beautiful barn wood.

It came to me then. We’re a lot like that, you and I. Only it’s on the inside that the beauty grows with us. Sure, we turn silver, gray too … and lean a bit more than we did when we were young and full of sap. But the good Lord knows what God’s doing. And as the years pass, God is busy using the hard wealth of our lives, the dry spells, and the stormy seasons, to do a job of beautifying our souls that nothing else can produce. And to think how often folks holler because they want life easy!

They took the old barn down, today, and hauled it away to beautify a rich man’s house.

And I reckon, someday, you and I’ll be hauled off to Heaven to take on whatever chores the good Lord has for us on the Great Sky Ranch.

And I suspect we’ll be more beautiful than for the seasons we’ve been through here … and just maybe even add a bit of beauty to God’s house.

___________

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS in modern language.

1) I will look ONLY to God for the source of my good.

2) I will not think my life is lacking of anything. God gives all I need.

3) I will not speak the words of lack or limitation.

4) I will let go and let God do it.

5) I will deal honorably with God and all people. God’s good is in all people and all things.

6) I will not have harmful thoughts toward anybody or anything.

7) I will use my God-given, spiritual power for good only.

8) I will not seek something for nothing.

9) I will be honest with God and myself.

10) I will not limit myself by wanting that which is another’s. With God’s help, through prayer, I will create my own.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, in faith I know there is always a way.
As I place my faith in You my faith grows by leaps and bounds.
I ask You to help me to open the door to new good and new blessings.

Thank You God. In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I seek God and God answers!

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 16, 2022 – STEADFASTNESS

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 16, 2022 - STEADFASTNESS

“Let steadfastness have its full effect.”
James 1:4

Steadfastness is a powerful asset to any human life. Awareness of the presence of God will strengthen and fortify you. Knowing that your life is one with God and God’s love, you are able to surmount difficulties with courage and to rise above setbacks and obstacles.

You rejoice and give thanks for the progress that you are making in your spiritual growth. From each successive achievement, you are further inspired to go forward to better and greater things. You consider impediments or roadblocks to be challenges to merrily spur you on to become the person you want to be. You realize such blocks to progress serve as valued opportunities for self-examination and as a means of strengthening your aims. With God, you rise above discouragement. If one way does not work, you try another, and another. Nothing stops the forward action of you and God.

Continued contact with God, in prayer, gives you resourcefulness, confidence and lasting steadfastness. No person, condition, situation, or attitude can keep you from fulfilling your goals. As Jesus said, you are one with God. God guides you into the true expression of your particular abilities and talents.

All of life changes when you come to know that God made the world and everyone in it. God created humans in God’s spiritual image. The true nature of every human is love. It is easy to be steadfast when we realize that we are going from one expression of love to another. Is it unrealistic to think this way? No! It is true that many are not yet expressing from this high spiritual point – but you can. You can be steadfast in kindness and in love, and light the path for others to follow.

Once you awaken to this realization, then no matter what anyone may express, you will hold steadfastly to the truth that the other person’s true nature is love. You will find people reacting differently to you, for they cannot help but express what you know to be true about them.

No longer would you hold adverse thoughts concerning anyone. Instead, you will be steadfast in knowing that love is the reality of their being. No longer would you feel apart from any person or group. You will not think that someone does not like you. You will take it for granted that all people like you, because they, too, are created out of God’s love. Knowing this, you will feel in harmony and in accord with everyone.

In Romans 8:31-35 our Bible states, “If God is for us, who is against us? … Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?”

So, instead of stopping, you decide to keep steadfast, empowered by God, determined to seek after and manifest your God-given good.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

You will your on your ear starting work right now Dear God, in prayer, I enter consciously into an awareness of Your presence. I lift my thoughts, my voice to You in prayer, and my body responds with new surges of healing activity. I am continually being healed as Your spirit renews my body. Thank You for enlivening me with new life. Your spirit is at the core of my body in wondrous expression. Dear God, my prayer is that I remain aware of Your presence, Your life living out through me.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION The strength and vitality of God are now manifest in me.

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 15, 2022 – Breakthroughs

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 15, 2022 - Breakthroughs

“I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?”
Isaiah 43:19

There is an ancient drawing depicting what a human being is like. The ancient drawing has a person riding on two horses: one foot is on one horse, one foot is on the other horse, and the person holds a steady rein and balances between them. Truly, that is what each one of you is doing: you are riding on two horses.

One horse represents the human, and the other horse represents the Divine. How well do you balance? If you concentrate on riding one horse, and just putting your foot on the other one, you will stay on, but, if you go from human to the Divine, Divine to human, you will probably fail. You are human, but you are also a child of God. Balance is the key.

You have to remember that there is not one of you, but two of you. When you get to the end of your rope, the end of your bridge, the end of your way – remember – that you are not alone! Even though the human horse had a failure, there is something else, around you, and within you – with you this moment–that cannot fail, and knows the perfect way to the next avenue of life. It is a way that can make your trip an incredible, blissful journey in spite of your past human mistakes.

Remember not to look too much behind, especially if it has been a painful past.

We must look forward and move towards our future with great resolve.

The past may have had some human breakdowns, but with God, the future holds Divine breakthroughs.

Beyond your hat and your boots there lies much to discover. There are two selves with great power: two selves that have all possibilities. The oneself by itself will continue to stumble and fall. There is another self-connected to the Divine. You have spiritual DNA within you.

When you combine the two, you have a force in the world to do great things. Jesus urged you to do great things, but the lower human self, working alone, is often locked into self-images of limitation.

The best way to develop self-confidence and to make a new start is to realize that you are not alone. Realize that you do not have to do it by yourself. God is with you. God knows the way. God knows the words to say. God knows the thoughts and has the wisdom to think through your mind.

God is the God of breakthroughs.

If you have had a breakdown in your life, realize that it can be a breakthrough if you allow God to break through you, to act through you, to use you, and move through you.

How well you cope with a negative event determines the kind of person you will become. With God your future can be a wonderful time for you if you are willing to let go of the bad and accept the good. Know that God goes ahead of you on your path to make it an exciting adventure. The point to remember here is this: the way to cope with failure is to realize that the failure is NOT final. It is just a redirection in your life toward success.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

A Church in the Heart

Surely the Lord is in this place.
This is none other but the house of God.
Who builds the church within their heart
And takes it with them everywhere
Is wholly by far than those whose church
Is but a one day house of prayer.
(Based on Genesis 28:16)

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: God will see me through any change and on to a new beginning.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “Say not, I have found the truth, but rather, I have found a truth. Say not, I have found the path of the soul, Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path. For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.” Kahlil Gibran

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 14, 2022 – TRUST IN GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 14, 2022 - TRUST IN GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart … In all your ways acknowledge God, and God will make straight your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6

Faith in God is a deep inner knowing that the good that you are seeking is already seeking you. When Jesus was praying, he always gave thanks in advance because he knew, without a doubt, that the good that He was seeking was already His.

Faith contains within itself tremendous power to heal, to bless, and to bring good into manifestation in your life.

When you establish yourself on the firm foundation of faith in God, you experience life as something to be lived, happily and harmoniously. Faith in God strengthens spiritual qualities within you. You build upon this new strength, rather than leaning on previous, limited understanding.

You trust in God with all your heart and in all your ways acknowledge God. You look for and find the good in ALL things. You no longer doubt or have distrust. You no longer have worry or fear. You no longer criticize or condemn. Every time you give love, it returns multiplied. Praise God, who gives you an understanding heart. You utilize the talents and abilities that you have; you become more involved with life and have more enthusiasm for living. You know that to function with the firm foundation of faith is to still the troubled waters and to make the crooked places straight.

You trust in God so much that you do not allow other people to bring you down.

If you find yourself reacting negatively to the opinions of others, you become still, in prayer, and know that God is in this situation; you let God’s love fill your heart with goodwill and understanding. Trusting in God with all your heart, you rise above human hurt feelings.

You neither condemn nor feel condemned. Jesus says, in Luke 6:37, “Condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.”

You respect the right of others to choose the direction of their lives, and you bless them as they continue in the way they have chosen. You give thanks for God-given tolerance and understanding, as you trust God in all your heart to bring about good in others’ lives.

There are times when you need to make an effort towards reconciliation for the sake of another who has misunderstood your motives and seemed to misjudge you. These actions can be made in love and with sincerity, since the love of God continually infills you.

Today, you are established on a firm foundation of trust in God. How much happiness comes into your life when you fully trust in God and look for the good that is coming into your life, with faith and hope.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

As I concentrate on God, everything in my life falls into place.
As I concentrate on success, as I concentrate on forgiveness, as I concentrate
on plenty, as I concentrate on Divine love, as I concentrate on the best
in myself, as I concentrate on loving myself, as I concentrate on loving
my neighbor, everything in my life falls into place. And it falls in a way
that I can truly enjoy it.

Thank You God for helping my concentration.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I am concentrated on becoming a better person by serving God in new ways.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: Deciding not to choose is still making a choice.

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 13, 2022 – Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 13, 2022 - Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

“Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Thy name give glory. For the sake of Thy steadfast love and Thy faithfulness”
Psalms 115:1

I ask you to get comfortable in your quiet place, your place of being alone with God. Relax every muscle and let those words of the Psalmist occupy your mind. You are the writer of those words; they are your prayer. Close your eyes and ears to every outer circumstance and allow thankfulness to permeate your entire being. Realize your oneness with God, your neighbors, your foes, your rivals. You are one with all humans. Your heart swells as you realize your kinship with all life, all are one with God as you are one with God.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

There is a unity in the universe. In the mood of wonder, joy, and love, contemplate the words a phrase at a time.

“Not to us, Oh Lord.” We get no credit. All good comes from You, God. We listen, act, and receive the benefits. Benefits we often haven’t earned, but that fact doesn’t shame us. It makes us even more thankful for Your love.

“Not to us, … but to Thy name give glory.” We remember that “name” means “nature.” We are giving glory to God’s nature, God’s compassion, God’s forgiveness. Our love for You, God, overwhelms us. All this and heaven too, the whole of the idea floods us with Your love. We are able to love our enemies living in Your nature.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

I ask you to pause and think of something that you have against someone. As you contemplate this, you will see the insignificance of your complaint. This is the time to allow the love of God to come through you.

You forgive all parties to the incidents, including yourself. We have no enemies, only brothers and sisters.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

This is the time not only to think of God’s love, but to allow the love of God to come in and through you, forgiving all those who you hold anything against. You will do so as we listen to the words of the old hymn Rock of Ages.

Rock of ages,
Truth divine,
Strong foundation, ever mine.
Safe, secure, I here remain,
In the peace God doth ordain.
Living ever in the fight,
Pure and perfect in God’s sight.

On the rock of Truth I stand,
Destiny at my command.
Filled with peace and power of God,
Boundless good, eternal love,
Safe with Truth, so firm and strong,
Praising in triumphant song.
For the asking I attain
Every height in Truth’s domain,
Every wish within my heart;
For no blessing can depart.
All of good is ever mine,
On the rock of Truth divine.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

God’s love gives us the ability to do good even to those who have spitefully used us. For the sake of Thy steadfast love and Thy faithfulness, we are only repaying in a small way what we have received.

God has forgiven us so many times. We try to emulate God’s goodness. We forgive as we have been forgiven, with no reservations, and with no exceptions.

Dear God, this morning we say with the Psalmist, “Not to us.” Use us in bringing to pass the good you want to give us all. We are open and receptive.

We thank You through the name and nature of Jesus Christ, Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: Thank You, God, for blessing me with Your many gifts.

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 12, 2022 – The Journey of Your Life

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 12, 2022 - The Journey of Your Life

NEW VIDEO TODAY – see below

“Look after each other so that not one of you will fail to find God’s best blessings. Watch out that no bitterness takes root among you, for as it springs up it causes deep trouble, hurting many in their spiritual lives.”
Hebrews 12:15

You cannot have a happy ending to a miserable journey. Focus on bringing joy to your journey and you will find the secret to happiness.

True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess. Life is a journey, travel in faith with God. When your life is viewed as a journey, it helps you understand the twists and turns. When you view your life as a journey, you can look back with new understanding. Those turns and detours, that at one time seemed SO unnecessary, actually moved you to where you need to be today. Looking forward, you know that the road you take, today, leads you to a brand-new future – realize that you do not walk alone. This spiritual journey is like an upward spiral. We all know that our advances do not shoot straight up like a rocket, but rather slowly spirals upward. We may face something again, but we will not face it exactly in the same way, for we have been lifted up in our perception, and are viewing it from a higher vantage point.

M. Scott Peck said, “The great awareness comes slowly, piece by piece. The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one.”

Enjoy the journey of your life which God has given you – cooperate with God by having faith in God’s Presence on your path. God walks beside you, and ahead of you, on your path, holding steadfast love for you.

Travel on your journey in total faithfulness to God. God is by your side every day.

You will meet new people on your path and share the journey with them. Perhaps the greatest gift of all, is someone to share your life with. May God bring a new smile to your face every day. May God use this spiritual time to build up a deep reserve of soul relaxation, and joy in you, so every day, and long after, you enjoy your journey, ever aware of God’s indescribable gift. God is our tour guide, preparing a journey of a lifetime filled with joy. We share in the wonder of God celebrating discoveries together.

No one else can speak the words on your lips. Drench yourself in words unspoken. Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

God Bless The journey of my life.

This is God’s life the Creator gave to me to live. I live the harmless life neither giving or receiving offense in all my journeying. God’s hand guides my way. God’s wisdom chooses the way. God’s law of order and right adjustment is manifest in every area of my life now, and in the future. No fear alarms me for God’s presence blesses me continually with the spirit of peace. I am an emissary of God’s love. God’s wisdom inspires in me alertness, good judgment, and quick decision. God’s patience gives me time and courtesy. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me and directs me in all my ways.

In Jesus Christ’s name. Thank You, God.

Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I do not travel alone; God is by my side.

An elderly man in Tennessee had owned a large farm for several years. He had a pond in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, since he hadn’t been there for a while and look it over. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women in bikinis in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.

One of the women shouted to him, “We’re not coming out until you leave!”

The old man frowned, “I didn’t come down here to watch you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond in your small bikinis.”

Holding the bucket up he said, “I’m here to feed the alligator.”

(Some old men can still think fast.)

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

As we unite in prayer, we pray that you will be inspired and blessed,
and will be helping to bless and inspire others. Our prayers do not stop
with us. May you, and those you pray for, receive very special blessing
from God. May your life be enriched and made new by the power of God.
As our lives touch others today visiting church, or praying where we are,
let us know that with God there is always new opportunity. Every positive
prayer, every constructive word, every movement in the direction of faith,
makes it possible for God to do great things through us.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: Wherever I am, God is and therefore I can begin again on the road to my success.

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 10, 2022 - Saturday Inspiration

(Submitted with our great thanks)

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.” Philippians 4:7

If God brings you to it, God will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

Sara Henderson writes, it was hard to watch her fail. Physically, she was growing thinner and more stooped. Mentally, she was losing her ability to sort out reality.

Initially, my grandmother had railed, angrily, against the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease that were eroding who she had always been.

Eventually, the anger gave way to frustration and then resignation. My grandmother had always been a strong woman. She had a career before it was common for women to have careers. She was independent. In her eighties, she was still dragging out her stepladder every spring to wash all the windows in her house. She was also a woman with a deep faith in God.

As my grandmother lost her ability to live alone, my father moved her into his home. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren were often in the house. She seemed to enjoy being surrounded by the noise and activity of a large, extended family.

As she slipped further away from us mentally, my grandmother would occasionally have moments of lucidity when she knew where she was and recognized everyone around her. We never knew what prompted those moments, when they would occur, or how long they would last.

Toward the end of her life, she became convinced that her mother had knit everything she owned. “Mama knit my boots,” she would tell strangers, holding up a foot clad in galoshes. “Mama knit my coat,” she would say with a vacant smile as she zipped up her raincoat. Soon we were putting on her boots for her and helping her zip up her coat.

During my grandmother’s last autumn with us, we decided to take a family outing. We packed up the car and went to a local fair for a day of caramel apples, craft booths, and carnival rides.

Grandma loved flowers, so my dad bought her a rose. She carried it proudly through the fair, stopping often to breathe in its fragrance.

Grandma couldn’t go on the carnival rides, of course, so she sat on a bench close by and waited while the rest of the family rode. Her moments of lucidity were now a thing of the past having eluded her for months, but she seemed content to sit and watch as life unfolded around her.

While the youngest members of the family ran, laughing to get in line at the next ride, my father took my grandmother to the nearest bench. A sullen-looking young woman already occupied the bench but said she wouldn’t mind sharing the bench. “Mama knit my coat,” my grandmother told the young woman as she sat down.

We didn’t let my grandmother out of our sight, and when we came back to the bench to get her, the young woman was holding the rose. She looked as though she had been crying. “Thank you for sharing your grandmother with me,” she said. Then she told us her story. She had decided that day was to be her last on Earth. In deep despair and feeling she had nothing to live for, she was planning to go home and commit suicide. While she sat on that bench with Grandma, as the carnival noises swirled around them, she found herself pouring out her troubles.

“Your grandmother listened to me,” the young woman informed us. “She told me about a time in her own life, during the Depression, when she had lost hope. She told me that God loved me and that He would watch over me and would help me make it through my problems. She gave me this rose. She told me that my life would unfold just like this rose and that I would be surprised by its beauty. She told me my life was a gift. She said she would be praying for me.”

We stood, dumbfounded, as she hugged my grandmother and thanked her for saving her life. Grandma just smiled a vacant smile and patted her arm. As the young woman turned to leave, she waved good-bye to us. Grandma waved back and then turned to look at us, still standing in amazement.

“Mama knit my hat,” she said.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Thank You God for using others to talk,
and act,
through them to bless our lives.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: Divine order is now actively at work in my life. God is guiding and directing me to my good directly and through others.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE:
“Do all the good you can
By all the means you can
In all the ways you can
In all the places you can
At all times that you can
To all the people you can
As long as ever you can.”

John Wesley, minister

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 9, 2022 – SHOWERS OF BLESSING

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 9, 2022 - SHOWERS OF BLESSING

“There shall be showers of blessing.”
Ezekiel 34:26

As we reflect on this past week, we reflect on how many blessings we have received. We take time to enumerate them, either in our minds or on paper.

Now, I ask you to recount your blessings this week. Write them down, and give thanks to God for them.

We are not only grateful for God’s gifts received and given, but also, for the beauty that is all around us.

Today, we appreciate the blue sky, or if it is gray, we shall enjoy that beauty, too. We will enjoy the lovely trees silhouetted against the sky.

Today, we appreciate our family, more than ever before. We will bless them, and know with them, that their lives can be, and are, in Divine order. We give thanks that, in and through God, their every need is met.

Think about your friends; you love and cherish them, and show them your love by thoughtful acts, perhaps a telephone call or e-mail to greet someone and to wish them a happy day.

You pray to be shown ways in which you can continually give to, and help your friends. This day is a day of our appreciation. You will increase your good by magnifying it in your mind, speech, in your world.

The good God has for you is immediate and offers itself to you as a constant stream of ideas, ever flowing to you and through you. You accept those ideas with anticipation and activate them by thinking upon them, prayerfully.

You think upon the idea of God’s light, and your mind is illumined with better understanding of yourself and all that concerns you. In this understanding, you make wise and right decisions that improve the conditions and experiences of each day.

You gratefully think about the idea of life and feel healing currents within you that cleanse and renew and make you whole. You are uplifted in thought of life, it brings a response of strength, energy, and vitality. You think upon the idea of love and feel enveloped in an awareness of security, harmony, peace, and plenty. God’s love brings showers of blessings upon you with a sense of well-being and fulfills God’s plan for you in wonderful ways.

You give thanks for the good that is available to you at ALL times. You open your mind and heart and accept the good from God pouring into your life from every direction.

Today, you accept Jesus’ promise, “Come … inherit the kingdom!”
Matthew 25:34

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

I am ready to receive.
I am open and receptive to my good.
I ask for showers of blessings,
and I promise as I receive, I will be a blessing to others.

Thank You God!

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I am a radiating center of Divine love, mighty to attract my good and to radiate good to others.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement.”
Brian Tracy
