I Radiate Grace, Strength, and Beauty from Within

“The Swiss-American psychiatrist Elisabeth Kubler-Ross likened people to stained-glass windows.  ‘They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.’

A view of the famed Rose Window in Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, France.

Even when the outer world looks dark or dimmed, I continue to express deep appreciation and joy because I know the light of God shines from within me.  This inner light constantly uplifts and sustains me, illuminating my way.  I radiate gratitude for the harmony, prosperity and beauty that surround me.

I am a beacon for God’s love.  Divine life works through me to radiate grace, strength, and beauty to all I meet.”

“And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light.”  Revelation 22:5  dailyword.com

 

Mother Teresa – Her Own Heart-filled Words

bfcb9902aa52b75a2dca319ec3e9baa7Mother Teresa says, “If you really want to know the poor, you must know what is poverty…”

She says,”There are two kinds of poverty. We have the poverty of the material, for example like in India and Ethiopia and other places, where the people are hungry for a loaf of bread and real hunger.  But there is a much deeper, much greater hunger.  And that is the hunger for love and that terrible loneliness and being unwanted, unloved… being abandoned by everybody.  And some people you find in, what you call them, shut-ins, people that are sleeping in the streets of London and are found in the homes.  Maybe that kind of “unwanted-ness,” unloved {person}.  Maybe in our own homes, we may have somebody who is handicapped like that and nobody takes any notice.  Nobody even recognizes that there is this child, this man, this woman who is hungry for love, hungry to be recognized and to accept with respect and love the person.”  In the video below, she speaks from her heart.

Buddhist Prayer of Gratitude

I am grateful to those who have hurt or harmed me,
For they have reinforced my determination.
I am grateful to those who have deceived me.
For they have deepened my insight.
I am grateful to those who have hit me,
For they have reduced my karmic obstacles.
I am grateful to those who have abandoned me.
For they have taught me to be independent.
I am grateful to those who have made me stumble,
For they have strengthened my ability.
I am grateful to those who have denounced me,
For they have increased my wisdom and concentration.
I am grateful to those who have made me firm and resolute,
And helped in my achievements.
