“Like relationships, it starts with an attraction or connection, then takes time and care.”

“Billy Graham admitted he was rethinking hell. ‘Hell may not be an eternal dispensation,’ Rev. Graham noted. ‘It may just be a sense of separation from God.’ Hell is a wake-up call, a corrective device. The only value of hell is educational. Once the lesson is complete, you are done with it; it is only then that you can get on with enjoying living in freedom. To love everyone and everything in your life is to give yourself heaven right now. What is preventing me from living in heaven at this moment? Help me be willing to share it, and to let it go. to find innocence and forgiveness for myself, all persons and all things; that I may live in heaven today.”

“Though others have faults, Concentrate on your own. It is an equal mistake to lose self-esteem simply because you have some flaws. Looking at your shortcomings and taking steps to eliminate them should be viewed as a dispassionate (i.e., an objective, fair, neutral and detached) project.”

Meditation for the Day “I want to be at one with the Divine Spirit of the universe. I will set my deepest affections on things spiritual, not on things material. As a man thinketh, so is he. So I will think of and desire that which will help, not hinder, my spiritual growth. I will try to be at one with God. No human aspiration can reach higher than this. Prayer for the Day “I pray that I may think love, and love will surround me. I pray that I may think health, and health will come to me.”
