Contribution

I am love in action, contributing to the well-being of others.

God's love expresses through me to bless others. I perceive the people with whom I interact as the children of God they truly are. I look for opportunities to be of help, to appreciate and to make a positive contribution.

I find many opportunities to give from my heart. I extend a wave and a warm smile to a neighbor, call or e-mail a friend or relative, or give time and attention to someone in need.

I look beyond the outer persona of those who seem unfriendly or impolite and behold their true essence. For all those I meet or think of today, I say a silent blessing: I behold the Christ in you. I visualize you whole, happy, prosperous and peaceful.

"Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God."--1 John 4:7

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 – Inner Fire

"When we find ourselves looking at the world and saying, 'There's nothing out there for me,' we should probably also look into our hearts and ask, 'If there's nothing out there, is there anything in here?' We need to examine our inner dialogue to discover where we might be blocking the conscious energy flow, then remove the ego, step out of the way, and let the fire of the soul shine through us."

~Deepak Chopra

Today's Affirmation

I am filled with the fire of Love.

Today's Meditation

Dear God,

Your presence within me is like a cool-hot fire.

When I set my ego aside, I more fully express this inner nature.

I consciously shift my awareness from the outer world to the inner reality.

I choose to get out of Your way.

Resting here, safe in the light of Your love, I recommit myself to joy.

I invite You to express through me now.

Every aspect of my being is fed and fueled by this inner fire.

Thank You God.

Amen
