“There comes a time to lay down a piece of crystallized pain that is emotional, mental or spiritual in nature. You will know when that time comes. We do not encourage you to hurry yourself. However, it is indeed a wise person who harvests such crystallized pain, realizes it, thanks it, and moves on. It is not necessary to carry behind you that great sack which bears the accumulated pain of your incarnation.” Q’uo, channeled through Carla L. Rueckert, L/L Research, September 3, 2006.

Doing Good For Others

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” (Matthew 25: 35-36) “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” (Matthew 25: 40)

Hope for the Future
“For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, I will let you find me, says the Lord.” Jeremiah 29: 11-14 NRSV Bible

Without Love
“If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
Be Free of Attachments
“How can attachment bring us suffering?
We just have to think of chocolate and there is the temptation of eating more than is good for us. Or as example, my favorite story: the way people used to catch monkeys in South India:
One takes a coconut and makes a hole in it, just large enough that a monkey can squeeze its hand in. Next, tie the coconut down, and put a sweet inside. What happens next is pure attachment. The monkey smells the sweet, puts his hand into the coconut, grabs the sweet and … the hole is too small to let a fist out of the coconut. The last thing a monkey would consider is to let go of the sweet, so it is literally tied down by its own attachment. Often they only let go when they fall asleep or become unconscious because of exhaustion.
Ultimately, the Buddha explains that our attachment to life keeps us in cyclic existence or samsara, which does not bring us continuous happiness.” From – http://www.viewonbuddhism.org

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.’
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
