Let Go Let God Shine

I Shine My Light Of Love To All.

The sun warms everything it touches. It brightens the days with warmth and light and lifts me after days of clouds and rain. My inner light does much the same. Divine light warms my soul and lifts my heart. As I let my light shine from within, guiding my thoughts, words, and actions, I am a blessing on my journey through life. I shine when I give my best efforts. I express my true self in all that I do. I live in alignment with who I am as a spiritual being and who I want to be in the world—an expression of divine love and wisdom. I shine when I am kind, warmhearted, compassionate, and forgiving with others. I shine my brightest when I use my unique talents to help make the world a better place. 

Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.—Isaiah 60:1

Let Go Let God Release

There Are No Chains That Bind Me.

If I’m carrying something heavy, I may struggle to travel with it, especially for a distance. My back may hurt or my legs might buckle under the weight of my load. But when I lighten my load or set it down completely, I am able to move forward unencumbered. I feel free. This happens in my inner life as well. I may feel weighed down by too many obligations, too many things to do or think about. When I release the cares of my mind and the burdens of my heart into the care of God, when I release my worries in prayer, I feel my lightness return. I release again and again. As I let go, I deepen my relationship with God, trusting that whatever I feel called to carry, I am never alone. 

Now look, I have just released you today from the fetters on your hands … See, the whole land is before you; go wherever you think it good and right to go.—Jeremiah 40:4

Let Go Let God Know Prosperity

My Awareness Of Prosperity Gives Me A Peaceful Mind And Contented Heart.

Prosperity is so much more than bank balances and possessions. It includes having a comfortable home and the support of family and friends. Even having a pet’s love and companionship is a way to feel prosperous. But even if I don’t have those things, I can find abundant blessings in my relationship with God. Divine love and grace are constant reminders I am worthy and valued. Calling upon my inexhaustible spiritual gifts of faith, strength, and imagination, I trust my intuition to lead me to the best opportunities to give of myself and add to others’ prosperity so I may more richly know my own. I give thanks each day for all the ways I have been prospered and for the peace that dwells deep in my heart. 

Then your prosperity would have been like a river, and your success like the waves of the sea.—Isaiah 48:18

Let Go Let God Seek Balance

I Slow Down And Spiritually Balance Myself.

Jesus taught how to relax, rest, and flow. In the Bible, he used ravens and lilies as examples from nature. Ravens do not fritter away their precious energy feeling anxious, yet they have all they need. Lilies need not toil or spin, yet they are perfect exactly as they are. What did Jesus say to do instead of sowing, reaping, or worrying? How about walking the quiet path of spiritual practice, which he called seeking the kingdom of God? Taking this lesson to heart, I slow down, pray, and rest. That may be quite a challenge in today’s world, but this now moment is my opportunity to do so. This quiet time is a good start, an invitation to take a few minutes to settle in to absorb and enjoy what is right here before me. I am blessed by the love and peace of God. 

Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.—Luke 12:32

Let Go Let God Refresh

Honoring The Divine Presence Within, I Am Refreshed.

Stretching and yawning after a good sleep, enjoying a brisk walk in the early morning, or sipping a replenishing drink after a workout or time in the sun, I feel refreshed. I move forward into my next activity with a renewed feeling of well-being. Building upon and refreshing my knowledge may relieve me from thinking too much about my obligations. Spending time with a good book or revisiting favorite passages from my favorite writing can give me a relaxing mental pause. I find many opportunities to refresh my awareness that God, the divine presence, is within me wherever I am, whatever I am doing. It takes only a moment to find God’s presence reflected in the people and animals I encounter and in the natural beauty that surrounds me. 

So that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.—Romans 15:32

Let Go Let God Be Free

I Am Free To Be Me.

There may have been times in my past when I felt I had to keep a part of myself hidden because I feared I would not be accepted exactly as I am. Today I leave fear behind. I am ready to live fully into my identity as a beloved child of God, expressing uniquely as me. I accept and celebrate all aspects of myself. Even as I grow and change, my divine identity is my anchor. My connection with God tells me I am worthy, deserving of all good things, opportunities to shine, and being welcomed and accepted for who I am, as I am. This awareness is the key to my freedom. I need not rely on approval from others to know I am valued and blessed. The Christ within is my true identity. I am wondrously, gloriously free. 

Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.—Psalm 118:5

Let Go Let God Choose Positivity

Choosing Positivity Brightens My Life.

Throughout the years, I have met folks who stayed upbeat, even when they encountered difficult times. Likewise, I have met others who seemed downbeat or anxious, even during seemingly stable periods. It’s up to me to decide the kind of person I wish to be. I want to expect the best, keep my heart open to love, and keep my mind open to new ideas, so I choose positivity again and again. I meet life eagerly and focus on the good I will do and all I might accomplish. I greet people warmly and go about my business lightly. At day’s end, I look back with gratitude for everyone I encountered and all I did. Each day might not be perfect, but I know I have the power to find the good around me and be optimistic no matter what I’m doing. 

Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.—Proverbs 4:23
