PRAYER television channel http://www.youtube.com/prayerAmerica PRAYER written (over 800 specific need, by category) http://www.positivechristianity.org/prayersearch.php MEDITATION television channel http://www.youtube.com/PositiveChurch Together, wherever we are, we move into the prayer awareness consciously thinking about God's love. Spiritually we realize that we are, right now, tapping into that deep resource of God-love within us and around us. Within that deep resource of love, we find all there is to be found, and that is God; God as the only presence and the only power in our lives, the presence and the power and the activity of good, of love. For the truth is, love is all there is. It is the only energy we wish to express, for love is God. Rest in the silence of prayer… The first letter of John tells us that God is love. And it tells us, twice, to stress the very importance of that concept. Because the first chapter of Genesis tells us that we are made in the image and after the likeness of God, we must reason that we are made in the image and after the likeness of love. Rest in the silence of prayer… As we, in Christianity, have long been affirming, "We are radiating centers of God’s love, mighty to give our love to others and to attract love back to us." We know that what we give to others will be returned to us, in kind and in overflowing abundance. We are radiating centers of Divine love, because this is our natural state. We were born, we were created to ex-press God, and God is love. We were born to express love in everything we do. We dedicate ourselves to a higher way of living life. May every action we perform, in some way, be an act of love, always expressed according to our awareness of our connection with God. Through the presence and power of God with us, we can express love to the highest degree in everything we do, not only to friends and family, but also to all persons in this world through the united connectedness of prayer—persons whom we will probably never meet on our path of unfoldment. We still have the power and, in a sense, we still have the responsibility to express love to ALL those individuals. Rest in the silence of prayer… Jesus said that if you love those who love you, then what reward have you? He is really implying that, at times, that is the easiest thing to do. But to give love to those whom we often have difficulty loving is the key. And, once again, we can do it because it is natural for us to do. Jesus also said that our true enemies are those of our own household. This does not necessarily mean our family. Of our own household can mean the household of thinking. The true enemies that we face are those negative thoughts and feelings that would restrict our growth and un-foldment. We, too, must apply love to each and every one of those negative thoughts, to the fears, the guilt, the resentments we hold. Once we acknowledge them in some way, we love them. We accept them for what they are, creations of our own mind. Rest in the silence of prayer… God's love will cast out fear. We ask God in prayer to empower and equip us so we can change those thoughts and feelings to positive ones of love and good and righteousness. This is our prayerful spiritual opportunity. This is also our God-given Divine responsibility. We are here in this life simply to love. So, in every-thing we do, let us love. And now, I would invite you to take a few moments in the quiet of prayer, and in whatever way you are led by God, the Spirit of Love within you, pour forth that love to others, to this world, and do not forget to yourself. Rest in the silence of prayer… As we now have taken these few moments to exercise our capacity to love, and in that way, sent out a blessing to the world, and we will be blessed in return. Let us now think of someone special in our lives, maybe one or two or three people, whoever or whatever comes to mind, someone who needs to express more of their own love, who needs to acknowledge the truth that they, too, are radiating centers of Divine love, mighty to express love to others and to attract love in return. For these special ones, we are going to see them in our mind's eye doing exactly that, fulfilling the reason for which they came to this life, and that is, very simply, to love. So, again in the quiet, we bless them as we behold them sending forth the love that they truly are . . . And now that we have taken these few moments to see these special ones exercising their capacity to love, we can know that God's perfect work is being done in and through them. For this we are truly grateful. As we now prepare to bring our attention back to this time and place, we remind ourselves of who and what we truly are, who is this particular personality, this vessel, this channel through which God’s love may flow. Each of us is a child of God, a child of love, a radiating center of God’s love, mighty to express love to all, and to attract love to ourselves. In this awareness, we simply express love. This we do in the name and through the power of that living, loving presence of God, Jesus Christ. . .Amen. POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: My heart is at peace, for I know that God and God's love has set me free from the past. Assured of God's constant blessing, I face the future strong, wise, and unafraid.
