I FORGIVE ME

I FORGIVE ME

Precious Lord of the Universe:

Today, I accept, believe and stand in the awareness that every thought and emotion I hold, every judgment, every identity, every concept, every recognition, every awareness upon which I focus my attention, is a gift I give to myself.

Every gift I offer, every judgment I make, every identity I create, every concept I construct, every recognition I establish, whether positive or not, goes forth into my life and returns to me not void, but as the image, experience, feeling, and expression

Today, I accept, believe and stand in the awareness that I am the source of the thoughts I think because my mind is one with Divine mind. My capacity to think, whether positive or not, is the gift I have received from life and creates the gifts I offer in my life. Today I recognize this awareness as the operation of the Law of Mind, the process of Case and Effect.

Today, I forgive myself for the gifts I have offered to myself, to others and to the world that were not in alignment with the Law of Love.

When I think with a Mind of Love, every thought I hold goes forth and will return to me as more love.

Today, I forgive myself for the ways and number of times I have resisted being in alignment and harmony with the Law of Love.

When I think with the ego mind, every thought I hold about myself or anyone else returns to me as an image or experience of pain, wounding, hurt, sorrow, suffering or attack.

Today, I forgive myself for allowing, encouraging and giving silent, unconscious permission to the ego mind to create and contribute to the presence of pain, wounding, hurt, sorrow, suffering, lack and attack in my life.

I am now aware that every thought I allow myself to think about myself and everyone else; every judgment I make about myself and everyone else; every identity I create of myself and everyone else; every concept I construct about myself and everyone else; every recognition I make about myself and everyone else, whether positive or not, is a divine creation.

Today, I forgive myself for every thought I have held, every emotion I have nurtured, every judgment I have made, every identify I have created, every concept I have constructed, every recognition I have established that was not grounded in love.

And So It Is! Amen!

The Application of Service

After reading this today, I knew it was a reminder to me and many of my friends that are Unselfish Givers. Enjoy, I did!! All my love, Parthenia
************************************

Service is the ability to give of self (for example, time, knowledge, resources) without an attachment to the expectation of reward or recognition. Working with a consciousness of love (unselfish giving).

We are rarely taught to serve in life. We are taught to work. Work, we are taught, is the act of doing what needs to be done in order to acquire the things that we need.

Service is the act of doing what you love for the sake of loving it. This is the highest work you can do in the world. Service is the divine multiplier. When you perform an act of genuine service, giving of your time, energy, and resources as an act of love, the universe will multiply what you do and reward you with greater results than you expected.

. . . [M]ost of us hate what we do for work, hate the environment that we do it in, hate the people we do it with, or are sorely disappointed by the rewards we get. . . . We grow in a loving environment. It's not the money that is missing from the workplace, it is the love. It is the service.

. . . [S]ervice, doing what you love, has rewards that money cannot buy. It has become very clear to me that when you give yourself over to acts of love, passionately spending your time giving yourself over to acts of love, you are never at a loss or lack for the things that you need.  Believe it or not, we need much more in life than money. We need a sense of purpose. Purpose keeps you from being burnt out. Service gives you purpose. We need a personal mission that will help us focus our time and energy. When you are on a mission, you have passion, there is an internal fire that keeps you alive. Service keeps you alive and well. . . . Service gives you a reason to take care of yourself.

When you serve, you are not tied to the outcome. You are not invested in what people do as a result of what you do, or what people think about what you are doing. You give what you have because it makes you feel good. You give what you have because you know that the unique way in which you do what you do will make someone else feel good.

You may never know in this lifetime how your work and contributions made in love affect people. However, when you give a service, this is not your concern. You do what you do because you love to do it. Whatever you love will touch somebody.

Service, as a spiritual principle, does not imply or import poverty. Most of us think that if you serve, giving of yourself without focusing on the money, you will be poor. . . . There is a problem with this line of thinking.

Do what you love! Do it with passion! Do it with the understanding that if you are never rewarded with money or recognized by the public, you are making a valuable contribution to yourself. Shift your focus from money to love. When you have love, you want to give of yourself. When you give of yourself for the sake of love, the impersonal, immutable, perfect laws of the universe demand that you must be rewarded tenfold.

CALLING FORTH MY GOOD

CALLING FORTH MY GOOD

Immersed in Infinite Good, I turn within. Feeling the presence of Love, I know that God is all there is. It is the love of God that flows effortlessly and easily through the universe, and it is from this love that all things are created.

And I know that because God is everywhere present, love is everywhere present. Love is flowing in through and as me right now; there is no separation, no spot where God is not; no spot where love is not. I am one with infinite Source, one with the power and presence of divine Wisdom, one with the vibration and energy of Love. In this holy moment I know I am the beloved of God.

I now proclaim my good and call forth situations and circumstances that allow me to share my gifts and talents with others. I call forth situations and circumstances that give me the opportunity to love and show compassion. I call forth situations and circumstances that allow me to see and feel the love and compassion of others.

I know that as I serve I am blessed and in all that I do my life reflects and reveals the all good of God.

I am deeply and profoundly grateful for the power and grace of love.

I release the power of this word, knowing that as I let go and let God it is done.

And so it is. Amen.

JUST A BREATH AWAY

JUST A BREATH AWAY

Dear God,

I know that Your love is as close to me as my beating heart. I know that Your breath breathes new life into me each day. I know that You are only a prayer away and all I have to do to hear a word from You is to close my eyes, take a breath and go within.

God, I ask that You remind me of this truth in every moment of my life especially when my humanness allows me to forget. I ask that You bless me to live this truth with confidence and certainty. I ask that You uproot all faulty thinking that allows me to lose sight of the truth and that You nurture the seeds of faith, hope, light, healing and love that You have planted in my consciousness.

I thank You, God, for the blessing is already here. I am blessed by the healing energy radiating within me. I am grateful for Your healing presence that is seated in the center of my being. I thank you for reminding me of who You are in me.

For this and for so much more I am so grateful!

Let It Be So and So It Is!

Amen.

Rev.Danielle Hatchell
