Let It Shine

I let my Divine light shine


Where there is light there can be no darkness.

Is shyness, self-criticism or any other personality trait is interfering with my enjoyment of life, it may be that certain characteristics no longer serve me.  I am free to adopt a new way of being.  To accomplish this, I begin by noticing qualities in others that I admire and wish to adopt.  I observe anothor's light and magnetism. I look for someone who models self-acceptance and confidence.  I appreciated how they carry themselves with this beautiful presence.

I have always been told "stick with the winners."  I find spiritual people to hang with.  I practice being truthful and making integrous decisions.  this makes me a better friend, coworker and family member.

Because these are qualities I admire, they are also qualities found within me.  By recognizing my inherent value, I begin to let my light shine bigger and brighter.  I express the indwelling Spirit in unique and beautiful ways.

Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and vive glory to your Father in heaven  Matthew 5:16

God Pilots This Plane

I let Divine Love guide my thoughts, words and actions.

God is my pilot. I only get off course when I try to take the wheel. Today I turn my will over to you to guide me every moment I breathe.

I may feel either excited or apprehensive about upcoming events.  Whether I am hosting a party myself or attending a family, or work gathering, I wish to remain peaceful, centerd and joy filled.

I get excited and apprehensive in my everyday life.  Throughout the day I stop and ask God to guide me so I do his will.  His will always flows smoothly and effortlessly and I will always have the tools I need to do my part.

Letting go and letting God is how I release any anxious feelings I may have.  As I let go of concern and let Divine Love guide my thoughts, words and actions, I experience the presence of God in my activities and relationships.

Today I am anxious about passing out my resume asking for more challenges. I want to use more of my skills and upgrade my position. I know God only wants the best for me and will open the best door.  If it is in  my best interest all will flow smoothly.  I will never be given more than I can handle or learn to handle.

I participate joyfully in all gatherings because I am letting God express fully through me.  My expectations and attitude are positive as I share love, appreciation and joy with others.

My only job is to suit up and show up and give and receive unconditional love.

For the sake of my relatives and friends I will say " Peace be within you."  Psalm 122:8

Faith In God

I have faith in God and I am blessed.

Many words come to mind as I try to define faith.  Faith is a belief, a feeling, an impetus or an insight.  When I have faith, I believe.  I believe that I am a spiritual being, that I am never alone, never separated from God.  In faith I feel divinely protected and directed.  I am led by Spirit along every step of the my life's journey.

Faith is when I practice staying in the moment waiting for directions from God.  The my job is to suit up and show up.  He is always holding my hand and walks with me through every solution.

When I have faith I am inspired and energized.  I experience an impulse to do more and be more--to spread my spiritual wings and fly.  Ideas flow freely and easily, unhampered by fear or anxiety.

Having a connection with God is sure a great feeling. No matter how hard something may seem I always have God to get me through.

My faith in God transforms my life--mentally, physically and spiritually.  Through my faith I am blessed beyond measure.

All it takes is faith the size of a mustard seed.

Let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Hebrews 10:22

Creating World Peace

The world awakens to peace--one person at a time.  Today I choose peace.

Today I am peaceful knowing I am exactly where I am suppose to be.  I am at a job I love, have two jobs that pay my bills and five me extra money to do things with.  I have an abundance of friends and family.  The real test is to be at peace when turbulent times hit.  This is when I truly practice peace through my faith.

World peace begins with me.  My peaceful presence affects the peace in my family.  The peace in my family affects the peace in my neighborhood.  The peace in my neighborhood affects the peace of my community.  And on it goes--until peace unites our world.

We are all connected through Christs energy.  this is where we are all the same. Many people are not conscious of this connection and choose to live turbulent lives through ego.  They still have Christ within them and only need to invite him into their daily lives.

I choose peace with every decision I make.  When I come to a crossroads, I make the peaceful choice.  When I make decisions with Spirit--with a desire for peace--I fell grounded and secure.  I move confidently forward with a peaceful heart.

I practice choosing peace in all my decisions.  I don't argue a point if someone else is in debate mode.  I don't say things that are hurtful for others.  I calm myself down as soon as i realize what I am doing.  If I send out peaceful positive energy I will receive the same.

As a proactive peacemaker, I never wait for others to determine when it is time to be peaceful.  The light of peace begins with me.

We can always be in peace even when it feels like the house is falling down all around me as long as I invite God into the moment.

Mark the blameless and behold upright, for their is posterity for the peaceable.  Psalm 37:37

The Perfection Of God

I am a joyful expression of Spirit.  I was created in joy.  At the moment of my creation, the Universe sang a new song and I am that joyous refrain. Each of us is a unique expression of one Spirit, a delightfully different outpouring of God's creativity.

I was born in perfection.  That perfection is still within me and this is where I connect wit God.  I also learned I have an ego and this is of the world, it is my humaness.

I begin the day in prayer, connection with the pur joy of my being.  During the day, joy bubbles up through me in laughter, compassion, gratitude and a sense of well being.  I share my joy for I know that Spirit has chosen me to be a joyful presence int he world.  Joy is my testimony of the living, loving Christ Presence in my life.

The only request God has of me is the see the Christ in everyone.  Offer unconditional love. This is who God is.  This is where we are all one.

However the day unfolds, at night I turn once more in prayer and thank God for the opportunities to be and experience joy. 

My  job is to stay in the moment and to give and receive love from every person, place or thing put on my path.

My heart and my flesh sing for joy o the living God Psalm 84:2

Clarity Through God

My mind is clear, my heart is open, I am at peace.

I love being at peace.  Everything is great. The old ego says "Watch out, something bad is going to happen right around the corner.

When I sense that my thoughts are turbulent and unfocused, I am best served by closing my eyes and taking a few moments to catch my breath.  With each deep breath, my thoughts begin to clear.  I soak in the love and peace of God.  I take in this moment of serenity.  As my mind stills and calms, I ask for guidance and direction, and I experience the fog lifting.

All I need to do to get peace is to invite God into my every breathing moment.  No matter if it feels like the house is falling down all around me thru God I can always find peace.

With a clear mind and heart I make myself available to divine guidance.  I no longer strain to find the answers, but rather allow them to surface in my mind and heart.  What I need to know comes clearly into my awareness.  Peace settles in and wisdom is revealed. I know what direction to take.

Even when I am not meditating or praying God gets instructions to me through other channels.  People, places and things. Meditating and being still after I pray and listen is God's desired way to connect.

Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his presence continually -- 1 Chronicles 16:11

Staying in Peace

Centered in Spirit, I am free.

In the midst of a health challenge or a troubled relationship, I may feel limited, burdened or out of control.  These situations however, give me a chance to consider another way.

So many times my fear is caused by "feeling out of control." Truth of the matter is I never have control. Either God or Ego is working through me. Ego chooses from humanness.  My human thinking always comes from fear. Ego lives from fear. It does not know the bigger picture, and it does not embrace change.  God comes from total love and is always there to hold my hand no matter what I am going through.  I can always choose peace.

When I remain centered in Truth, the love of Spirit flows through me, healing my body easing my mind, and quieting my heart.  I do not focus on "can't," "shouldn't,"  or "won't." Through the lens of Truth, I see possibilities; limitations fall away.

God is all knowing of my abilities.  He never give me anything that he wouldn't hold my  hand through. All I need do is to invite him in at all times.

What I previously viewed as lack or impossibility no longer seems so.  I am free to make choices and decisions that support my highest good.  Joy fills my soul and blesses my heart.

When God is holding my hand I can have peace even if it feels like the house is falling down all around me.  When I get out of my limited perception and see God's step by step plan I have peace and joy again.  I will always have the right outcome.

You were called to freedom, brothers and sisters.  Galatians 5:13

Seek Positive Connections

Oceans of spiritual substance flow into my mind and I see prosperity everywhere.

God wants only the best for us and there is always a door or window I can open no matter how challenging a situation may appear.

Knowing that the very substance of God Mind underlies every good thought, I keep my mind open and receptive to divine ideas. No thought or appearance of lack can linger where God is recognized as supply.  Therefore I keep my thoughts uplifted.

What I focus on expands. I can focus from my God source or from ego.

I realize that I cannot help a single soul by seeing a world of suffering from injustice, cruelty and lack.  therefor I see with the eye of faith the good that God provides.  By faith I see plenty and prosperity in ever circumstance.  I see hearts, homes and nations enriched and blessed by the presence of God.

God is the loving side of my dual self.  When I am in the moment and doing his will I am blessed and I can pass that gift on to others.

I have faith in God as my support and supply.  As a child of God, I am rich--rich in consciousness, active in service, sustained in all goodness substance and satisfaction.

I practice direct consciousness with God when I speak at spiritual meetings, journal, talk to God, be a spiritual mentor to others.

God, our God, has blessed us.  Psalm 67:6

Building Relationships

I am blessed by the people in my life.

I am very blessed to have an abundance of friends and family in my life.  I guess this happened because I am a good friend and a good family member.

I interact with many people each day, from friends, family and co-workers to sales people, fellow drivers and passersby.  While some relationships may not seem especially significant, they provide opportunities for me to positively impact the lives of others.

I am a very positive person and smile, speak and wave to passersby. I am not so good at driving. I get irritated and leave peace.  I now catch myself and say something like "Donya, calm down.  There is a reason this person is in front of you !!"You could be in an accident if you were not being held back by this person.  Then I feel the peace start to return.  I am very competitive and I am learning to be competitive with myself and not others.

I might be the only one to show another person kindness and consideration today.  A simple caring gesture or acknowledgment can bring light to their day.  I choose my words carefully and let my connection with others be a blessing in their lives and mine.  We all share this life experience together.

When I am asking for God's will to be done I am sharing the right thing to the right person.  This is my job and we both grow when I remember to invite God in.

Through my relationship with others I also nurture my relationship with God. Because God is in all I choose to see god in all people.

I try my favorite thought. The Christ in me sees the Christ in you. This is where we are alike.  When I remember to practice this one sentence I am always doing God's will.

So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all -- Galatians 6:10

Strength Thru God

Aligned with divine mind.

The mind of God is the composite of all good thoughts.  I am strengthened as I align my thoughts with Divine Mind.  I begin with a time of prayer, acknowledging that God and I are one.  I accept that all the strength I need is already withing me.

God holds my hand and walks with me through every step of my human life.  He never leaves me and I am connected to him through my soul.

If I notice an area of my life that does not appear to be working, I pause to examine my thoughts.  Do they reflect the truth of God in me?  Am I centered in Divine Presence?  Gently correcting my misalignment I feel the strength of God surge through me once more.

When door shut and I am banging my head up against the wall I am living from ego.  Ego fears losing something or not getting something I think I can' live without.  I judge myself about the chaos at home. If I would forgive the chaos I will stop getting a knot in my stomach and I can change it.  I could practice 15 minutes on a regular basis and the chaos will be gone.

In faith, my mind is lifted to the realm of Divine Mind.  From here I receive strength.  It may come in the form of mental, physical and spiritual strength, and I rely on it to fill every need.

When I am not doing God's will I am going blind.  My humanness does not know the bigger picture.  Only from my connection with God do I make right choices.  Sometimes I am not sure if I am doing God's will or not.  I only have to be  patient and find the open door.  then I need the courage to walk thru the unknown.  That takes all the faith I can muster up sometimes.  I always know God is holding my hand.

In quietness and in trust shall be your strength - Isaiah 30:15

Success through God

With Spirit as my guide I am successful.

True success involves joy in my work, a sense of achievement and material prosperity.  If I wish to succeed or advance in my work, I begin today to let Spirit guide my steps.

God opens doors for me every step of the way.  After I lost my job I only needed to borrow $1000 and paid it back withing 4 months. God sent me work ever since I gave up the unemployment mentality. Part time worked turned into full time.  At my other job I could set my own hours.  At the new job i work from 7:00-4:00. Love the hours. I have the money to pay my bills, buy healthy food, have a trainer, and buy things I want or take vacations. I spiritually connect with God on a daily basis. Life is great and getting better all the time.

I bless the work I am doing and give thanks for it. I bless my colleagues and customers by cooperating willingly and lovingly.  I turn often to the spirit of God within for wisdom in using my talents and developing my untapped abilities.

I am full of gifts God has given me.  My job is to suit up and show up when he puts opportunities in front of me.

If I feel that some person or condition is impending my progress, I release this thought from my mind and affirm, as an expression of God, that nothing can stand in my way.  Working with Spirit brings me opportunities, new power to achieve and new happiness in my work.

My work is more than just my job. God is teaching me about unconditional love.  It is my job to share this with the people, places, and things he puts in my life.

You shall be successful. Joshua 1:8
