"When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace."
~ The Dalai Lama
"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."
~ Buddha
As you grow peace within you it draws peace to your environment as well. Peace; if it's going to be it's up to me. ~Dave Kenyon
VERSE: Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
THOUGHT:
Where does your heart live? That's what these verses are all about. It's about where we spend the most time with our hearts. Is there a constant awareness in your life that God is present? Is he the unseen but always present companion in all your ups and downs? Or is God here when it is convenient and gone when things are busy or we feel that everything is going okay? Joy comes from knowing we are never alone. Prayer is the ongoing conversation we have, Spirit to Spirit, child to Abba, human with God. Thanksgiving and joy are the great reminders that we have been blessed no matter what the outward circumstances imply.
PRAYER:
Precious and Righteous Father, thank you for being there, always. Give me a deeper appreciation and a more profound awareness of your presence today. May my life reflect the joy you have given me by saving me by grace. And may my heart always find its home in you. Through the name of Jesus my Savior and friend I pray. Amen.
VERSE: I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
-- Galatians 2:20
THOUGHT:
When we were baptized into Christ, we shared in his crucifixion
and we were raised up to be a new person. Christ is alive in us.
The real challenge is for us to be Christ alive in our world! Our
motivation? Not to earn salvation, which has already been given us
by grace, but to honor him who sacrificed all to save us.
(See Romans 6:1-14)
PRAYER:
Thank you, God, for loving me and sending Jesus to redeem me
from my sin. I commit to you today that I will live by faith in your Son who gave himself so I can spend eternity with you. I ask that by your Spirit, you help Jesus' life be seen in me. Through him I pray. Amen.
