The love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. Romans 5:5
God’s love and wisdom pours into us with each inhalation. With each exhalation, we turn our whole self over to the care of the community of love that is the Holy Trinity.
Today I will sit quietly and notice my breathing. I will practice awareness of God’s presence with each in-breath and surrender into the creativity, wisdom, and love of God with each out-breath.
For those who are led by the Spirit are children of God. Romans 8:14
The Spirit leads us to trust the goodness of our hearts, to look for the face of God in all people, to treat each member of God’s human family with loving kindness, to listen to others with patience and understanding, to breathe peace into every situation.
Today with child-like faith I will let the Spirit lead me into God’s heart of compassion and wisdom.
Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11
Every day we are welcomed into the harmonic power of the Holy Trinity, a united community whose unfailing vision for our world is love and peace.
Today I will unite myself with the power of the Holy Trinity and help carry out God’s vision of love and peace by intentionally treating all people with respect and compassion.

Thus says the wisdom of God: “I found delight in the human race.” Proverbs 8:31
Let us dare to step into the heart-energy of the unity of the Holy Trinity.
Then will we know God’s love heals everything, especially the dis-ease that continues to divide our world.
Then will we understand the importance of our practice of respect, courtesy, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and peace.
Then will we find delight in our family, friends, and neighbors.
Lord, you have poured your love into our hearts. May I delight in your gift of love and recognize it in all people everywhere.
[Jesus said,] “And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20b
In fear, illness, sorrow, the Lord is with me. In joy, laughter, companionship, the Lord is with me. In loneliness, rejection, suffering, the Lord is with me.
Whatever I experience, wherever I am, the Lord is with me.
Today I will remember the Lord is with me, showing me the path to love and unity.

Brothers and sisters, rejoice. Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11
To serve the cause of justice, I must be aware of God’s presence and ask God to show me the next right action. I must be grounded in love of my neighbor and ask the Lord to give me the courage to love unconditionally. I must empty myself of self-serving justification and ask the Holy Spirit to fill me with love and peace.

When I wonder if my life has meaning and purpose, I remember Jesus is with me always. How can my life lack meaning if I am at all times in the presence of the Lord?
