August 3, 2018 www.PositiveChristianity.org presents Positive Daily Inspiration CLOTHE YOURSELVES WITH LOVE "Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." Colossians 3:14 Every day we take a shower and we groom ourselves to look presentable to others. But, the most important thing needed to become presentable to others is to clothe ourselves in love. This is putting on the garment of the spiritual within our consciousness so that we can act and react in the highest way that a human being can. Whenever the subject of love comes up, you think of all your friendships and relationships. We must be committed on a daily basis to include love, harmony and goodwill in all our interactions with others. Before you can contribute love to any environment, you need to feel love within yourself. Before you meet with any person—clothe yourself in love. You do this when you are fulfilled by the way you live your life and by the thoughts that you think on a moment to moment basis. In your mind, you make a firm decision for this month, and then clothe every thought with love. Past and present thoughts are examined, cleaned, and groomed with love. True satisfaction and well-being will come to you as you let the love of God think and live through you. In the end you will give the most treasured and valued gift – your love. Knowing that God's love is the foundation upon which you build your life, you can't help but to be in harmony with who you are and with what you're about. Your decisions this month are grounded in Divine love, so you are confident that your actions and thoughts will always be loving and harmonious. There is not one person reading this, including the writer, that has not made mistakes in the past concerning this vital issue. We are not our past; we are living in this present moment, making decisions in this present day. We are defined more by our commitments to make our life better, than by our failures in the past. I have always believed that some of the best news about God was that God provided all the love that we ever need to use. All love it is from God. Love has its source in God. We need but to consent to use this love and it will come through to bless all. You are both an inlet, and outlet of God's love. When you become quiet and focused on the Spirit of God, you feel a resurgence of energy and love. In prayer, you reclaim the energy of love. We often find that we have been exerting ourselves toward outer conditions and circumstances hoping to find love there. But that is not the source of love, and often we have been saddened because we have been going in the wrong direction. Alone with the presence of God, you are serene. You rediscover how refreshing it feels to be calm and at peace. You feel as if waves of love are watching over you and clearing away any tenseness and anxiety. This day love infills you with a message of truth that vibrates in every fiber of your being, and you find that you are spiritually empowered with God's love. POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER: Dear God, I consent to being clothed in Your love. I pray that every action that I make is wrapped in complete unconditional love towards all. I decide to give this as my gift to all. In Jesus Christ's name… Amen POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I become the love of God in action. POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: "There are glimpses of heaven to us in every act, or thought, or word, that raises us above ourselves." A. P.
