For your consideration…
I picked this picture because it is softer than today’s message. Our message today came in specifically, “Never wish another person ill will or harm.” Further it reminds us of the mirror image. We are asked to question the why behind our intentions.
We may feel justified. Perhaps we are justified. But judgment is not ours. And when we choose to judge and punish or wish punishment on someone else, we become a magnet for that punishment. Whatever energy we put out comes back to us.
Of course, this is why the Bible asks us to practice forgiveness. It is not just about the offender. It is about keeping our own soul clean and pure.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…
-Affirm…“I am loved.”
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Forgive. Let go wishes of ill will.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A beautiful day.
-Catching up with Mary, Lori, and Alex.
-Ahhh a good start on yard and garden cleanup.
-A good book.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
