An Affirmation for Today
I AM a walking example of God’s Love.
Affirmations are positive statements that describe how you want things to be. Repeat affirmations often and they begin to work on the subconscious mind bringing it to positive action. They must be repeated with attention, interest, faith and desire to be effective.
So, today let’s focus on the statement I AM a walking example of God’s Love. It doesn’t matter if you know you fall short. Repeating this statement often will keep your attention focused on being an example of God’s love. When you are tempted to say or do something not so loving, the words will be there guiding you.

“When God puts love and compassion in your heart toward someone, He’s offering you an opportunity to make a difference in that person’s life. You must learn to follow that love. Don’t ignore it. Act on it. Somebody needs what you have.” – Joel Osteen

“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by ‘I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.’ Hungry not only for bread — but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing — but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks — but homeless because of rejection.” ~ Mother Teresa

Serenity
In seeking a place of serenity we sometimes find ourselves going through rage. We fight against the people or circumstances that we perceive are keeping us from the place of peace. Yogis have a saying — no matter how twisted we are on the outside, inside we
remain calm. The ability to find our internal peace even as we go through the storms of life is a skill; one that we can develop using mindfulness, practicing metta (loving-kindness), and practicing peace when times are not so difficult. In those times
that our internal peace seems lost, the serenity prayer can be useful:
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
~May you find the peace you are seeking. Namaste, Reena
