You Matter

Leave a comment

Size matters not. – Master Yoda

yoda a role model is

Yoda the Jedi Master in the Star Wars series of movies is a diminutive fellow who understands and channels the good side of the ‘force’. In the movie he’s a prime example of the fact that size does not matter! Neither does wealth, influence or stature, in an ultimate sense.

what matters

You do.

As do others.

Eternally…

Ponder that…

Gita: The Joy Within

Leave a comment

2.55 When a man surrenders all desires that come to the heart and by the grace of God finds the joy of God, then his soul has indeed found peace. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2)

let it be

If there’s one mantra that works most of the time it is ‘Let it be’. The directive above allows us to find peace. Desires may not be bad, however they do keep us from discovering peace, now.

the joy of God

When we surrender desires; the desire to do something, be something or acquire something, our thoughts can begin to settle down. Our minds slowly become still. God and his joy can be experienced when that stillness is discovered. Try it, just 5 minutes morn & eve, you won’t be disappointed…

Daily Affirmation: Today I let be.

No End …

There is no end to you; there is no end to me; because there is no end to Him.  -  a teacher

our origin

God thought us up. We take from his consciousness, his creativity and his dreams! That’s the way we’re made in God’s image. We are truly children of God, and brothers/sisters to each other.

never ending story, it is

We’re meant to last forever. Rejoice, we’re watched and ultimately safe, abandon all worry and fear, rest easy. Life is good…

Daily Affirmation: Today and forever I AM!

Fear Not

Leave a comment

My God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me, I cannot know for certain where it will end … but I will not fear, for you are ever with me. – Thomas Merton

the road ahead

How often do we fret about what can go wrong? How often do we fear the future? Let’s become aware of when we do this. Awareness casts the limelight on this tendency, it allows us to reflect on the eternal now and on our constant companion.

our constant companion

Truly, God is with us, at all times and in innumerable ways. When we accept this Universe fact in faith, it becomes real, it becomes more palpable. The fear flees, we’re at peace. We know it when we experience it. The experience is not forthcoming if we don’t invite it.

Daily Affirmation: Today I walk with God.
