Today, let’s look for the best in everyone we encounter or about whom we think. In this holy moment, let’s create the intention to enter every interaction with another person today, centered in the wisdom and presence of Christ. As we go forward from this point in time, let us be open and receptive to the guidance and urging of Christ within us and to be receptive to the presence and expression of Christ within another. Listen to everyone you encounter with your inner ears, responding to another’s clear or clumsy request for love. Speak to everyone with respect, sensitive to the connective presence of Christ within both of you. In this way you are allowing God to bless everyone you meet, enrich your relationships and prosper all of your personal, business and social interactions.

Let Us Pray:
Dear Lord, I thank You for the peace of this day. I appreciate today’s encounters; I am enriched and blessed by each one. This is a glorious day and I rejoice in it. Father, show me the Christ in everyone I meet or think about today. Allow me to discern some redeeming value or characteristic in every person who crosses my mind or crosses my path today. Ordinarily I see You so clearly in some people and I forget to even look for You in others. However, today, I am ready to give that up and I am willing to behold Christ in everyone, including those who do not recognize Christ in themselves or anyone else. Shine Your Light of Understanding on my ignorance and Your Light of Love on my intolerance and misjudgment. You are active within me as the Power to listen with love and speak with respect. Let my understanding of others be more than sufficient for the positive outcome of every encounter and let the wisdom of my speaking be a blessing beyond my current understanding. Thank You for guiding me to greater levels of compassion, awareness and wisdom. I perceive Your presence in others, just as I am aware of Your presence within myself. I now realize Father, that You inspire us all in similar yet diverse ways. You guide each of us along our unique paths of service and contribution. Reveal Yourself in others to me today so that I can know others as You know me.
Thank You God!
So It Is!
Amen!

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. – Romans 12:4-5

I Keep My Love Circulating and Creating Blessings for Others and for Me

\”This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you”. – John 15:12

How will you serve God today? Will you serve God with good works, gifts to the poor, eloquent words or profound teachings? If what you do is not done in love, you will have accomplished nothing. God is Love, therefore let us serve God today as though we were serving a nourishing meal to a hungry person. Woven into the fabric of our being is the need to love and to be loved. Freely give your love as thoughts of well being, words of encouragement, comfort and peace. Keep your love circulating through acts of kindness, healing and uplifting prayers. Be patient, understanding and helpful to those who come into your thoughts and your presence today. Love and bless everyone of whom you are conscious, even your enemies or those with whom you are at odds. Restore love to your relationships through forgiveness. Today let our first intention be to keep our love circulating by loving each other, even as Jesus loves us.

Let Us Pray:

Dear God, You are Love Itself, allow me to experience a new profound relationship with You today by showing me how to love my neighbor as I love myself and show me how to love myself as You love me, with pure, unconditional Love. My intention for the rest of this day Lord is to love with all of my heart, all of my mind and all of my soul. Give me the courage, the wisdom and the opportunity to love and to be loved today, Father. I am happiest when I am conscious of Love. Therefore I choose love at every decision point I encounter today. Thank You for creating me in Your image as a loving being, capable of giving and receiving love.

Thank You God!

Amen!

Selah!

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. – 1 John 4:7
