<p>This morning&#8217;s meditation.</p>



<p>Walk with God.</p>



<p>Step one, gain a clear conception of what you mean by God.</p>



<p>Step two, have faith. &#8220;It is your faith that healed you.&#8221;</p>



<p>Step three, Practice.</p>



<p>Practice installing the characteristics you know God wants you to live by.</p>



<p>Allow time for the changes to happen.</p>



<p>Participate in active forgiveness.</p>



<p>Be willing to start over in each moment.</p>



<p>Allow others the same grace you want God to give you.</p>



<p>Today I intend to enter each experience with compassion, kindness, humor, understanding, acceptance, appreciation, empathy, humility, peace, and Love.</p>



<p>May you find your walk with God.</p>



<p>You are Loved.</p>

<p>This morning&#8217;s meditation.</p>



<p>When I change.</p>



<p>I am reminded of the importance of letting others live as they will and to live as I feel best.</p>



<p>I used to be so concerned with other people&#8217;s lives. How they acted, what they believed, and how they spoke.</p>



<p>I worried myself into hatred and resentments.</p>



<p>I have learned that my reactions to others were my responsibility.</p>



<p>Others have nothing to do with my reactions to them.</p>



<p>I became focused on how I can be the most current version of myself. I decided to practice acceptance of others.</p>



<p>They are exactly as they are supposed to be in my life for my greatest good.</p>



<p>I decided to learn from them why I reacted as I did and it turns out it was me all along.</p>



<p>It was my judgements of them and ultimately of myself that brought me to reacting to others.</p>



<p>Today I practice entering each experience with acceptance, appreciation, humor, humility, kindness, understanding, empathy, peace and Love.</p>



<p>May each of you find your change.</p>



<p>You are Loved.</p>

<p>To be of service.</p>



<p>Both readings reminded me how important it is to be of service to others.</p>



<p>I have discovered that being consciously aware of the Creator in each moment is very helpful when I am hoping to be of service to others.</p>



<p>I also learned how sharing only those experiences which relate to the person I am helping serves them the best.</p>



<p>I practice being available to others in words, and actions without being overbearing or over whelming.</p>



<p>I have also benefitted greatly from being of service without expectation of payment or reward.</p>



<p>Finally, I discovered how important it is to enter each experience with understanding, acceptance, appreciation, humility, humor, kindness, Love, and peace.</p>



<p>May each of you find your best way to be of service today.</p>



<p>You are Loved.</p>

<p>Inner Peace.</p>



<p>The readings today reminded me to not let anything outside of me disturb the inside of me.</p>



<p>I used to fight against any feelings of disappointment, frustration, fear, sadness, anger and the like.</p>



<p>The creator has allowed us gifts, talents, and choices.</p>



<p>I choose to utilize statements of appreciation and meditation.</p>



<p>Now I understand that acceptance allows me to acknowledge all that is around me without judgment and in so doing I don&#8217;t experience those feelings.</p>



<p>When I find myself judging myself or others, I get to stop, breathe, reset, and begin a new.</p>



<p>Today I choose to enter each experience with acceptance, understanding, humor, appreciation, kindness, empathy, and Love.</p>



<p>This practice brings me to living with a more consistent inner peace.</p>



<p>May each of you find your path to inner peace.</p>



<p>You are Love and Loved.</p>

<p>Trusting.</p>



<p>I am reminded that my anxiety sometimes comes along when I try to tell the Creator how to help me or someone else.</p>



<p>I may try to pray for someone and I will pray for a specific outcome, however, I have no idea what their journey is supposed to entail.</p>



<p>My experiences have shown me to kick back and trust that everything in my life is a part of the Divine design for my life.</p>



<p>I practice acceptance.</p>



<p>I look to find what brings me excitement, and I lose all expectations of how it should go and I lose all insistence of the outcome.</p>



<p>This is my way of trusting the Creator to allow me to live out the most amazing life.</p>



<p>My prayer time consists of making statements of appreciation.</p>



<p>My meditation time consists of practicing being the observer of my life.</p>



<p>I call upon the Creator frequently each day just to say thank you for my experiences.</p>



<p>May each of you allow yourself the gift of trusting the Creator.</p>



<p>You are Loved.</p>

<p>Miracles.</p>



<p>The readings reminded me how miracles are experienced differently.</p>



<p>To the Creator, what we call a miracle is simply another experience.</p>



<p>For humans most see miracles as life changing and awe inspiring.</p>



<p>A miracle can simply be an alteration in your perspective that creates a completely different reaction to life.</p>



<p>I have experienced a series of these alterations through completing thorough moral inventories, and taking, accountability, and responsibility of my part in my life.</p>



<p>I have gone from fearful, arrogant, and spiteful, to accepting, appreciative, and peaceful.</p>



<p>The changes happen through a willingness to receive the grace from Creator and a willingness to be Loved.</p>



<p>The willingness to release the ego and return to conscious awareness of the Divine self.</p>



<p>May each of you find your miracles.</p>

<p>This morning&#8217;s meditation.</p>



<p>Qualities</p>



<p>I am reminded how I have the free will to choose and adopt the qualities I want within me.</p>



<p>My experiences have shown how I have been a doormat in some areas while being a bully in other areas of my life.</p>



<p>I have been pious and arrogant.</p>



<p>I have had false humility and self-hatred.</p>



<p>I have created many personas for different reasons.</p>



<p>Eventually I got to the point where I just felt so lost I truly desired a different life.</p>



<p>I started with morning gratitude statements, added evening appreciation statements and eventually daily meditation.</p>



<p>I then started writing every day and reviewed my writing every week. Eventually I saw a change.</p>



<p>I started with daily intentions of entering each experience with acceptance, appreciation, humor, honesty, understanding, kindness, peace, empathy, and Love.</p>



<p>Every evening I would review where I did not meet those intentions, released any guilt and became grateful for the opportunity to be of service to myself and others.</p>



<p>Today I practice living out my intentions and I enjoy the freedom which I have created.</p>



<p>May each of you create your desired qualities.</p>



<p>You are Loved.</p>

<p>Always there.</p>



<p>The readings this morning reminded me how the strength of the Creator is always available.</p>



<p>I am in charge of receiving it or blocking it.</p>



<p>Much like a radio, I get what I tune into.</p>



<p>If I choose worthlessness, then I see myself and others as worthless.</p>



<p>If I choose to tune into appreciation, then I see myself and others with gratitude.</p>



<p>When I choose to see the miracle of creation, then I choose awe and wonder.</p>



<p>When I choose peace, I am peaceful.</p>



<p>The creator gave us the amazing gift of free will.</p>



<p>This means you are free to choose to live any way you want and receive the natural outcomes for those choices.</p>



<p>Today my intention is to enter each experience with peace, acceptance, appreciation, humor, kindness, and Love.</p>



<p>May you choose the life you enjoy.</p>



<p>You are Loved.</p>

<p>In so doing, I receive a quiet confidence and strength, with which I get to interact with others.</p>
