Spirit’s Gifts

Thank you, sweet Spirit, for the gift of forgiveness.

“I both give and receive the gift of forgiveness when I release a painful situation to God. This does not mean I condone what happened—I simply choose to let it go. My past has only as much power over me as I give it. I can let my past hold me back or I can move on. I can carry the weight of emotional pain forever, or lay it down and release it to God.

I choose to be free from resentment, anger, and hurt. As I release the pain of the past, I claim the life of peace I deserve. My load lightens, my pain heals, and my heart opens. Forgiveness frees me to laugh, love, and embrace a life of joy. Thank you, sweet Spirit, for the gift of forgiveness.”

He will wipe every tear from their eyes … mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.—Revelation 21:4

Affirm A Spiritual Truth

“By understanding how it works, we can cooperate with the Divine process of creation, instead of resisting it out of ignorance or fear.  Every time we affirm a spiritual Truth, we are able to express more of our own creative power, thus aligning ourselves with that Divine process more effectively.

To fully let go and allow Spirit to be our source for every choice, we rely on denials and affirmations.  We deny thoughts of lack or limitation.  We affirm that we are strong, positive, wise, loving, fearless, and free beings of Spirit.

Letting go of our fear-based thoughts and replacing them with affirmations of infinite Love involves a powerful interaction of head and heart.  As the process unfolds, we experience the Christ Presence of peace.”

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.”  Proverbs 3:5

Make Peace With Where You Are

“When we say to you, make peace with where you are, we want you to make peace with where everyone is; we want you to make peace with the world events; we want you to make peace with where your friend is in relationship with where your friend wants to be. We want it to be all right with you where anybody is.”

Abraham-Hicks, 5/14/05

Romans 12:16-21 New International Version (NIV)

“16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
    if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
