“Oh, the inspiration, power, and illusions of grandeur that came from a drink and a drug!”

“Inspired thinking arises out of interior awareness. From this silent expanse, you gain access to a new kind of thought. Inspired thinking is literally an expression of the unknown. You cannot control it; you cannot will it to do one thing or another. Most of us very rarely experience inspired thinking; it’s not something that we experience day to day. But it is possible to experience this kind of thinking more and more frequently, until it becomes the normal way that we move through life.”

“What have you been holding off doing because maybe you are too old, sick, poor, inexperienced, uneducated, unqualified, tired, or unhappy? What if none of these conditions had any power to stop you from being what you want to be? What if, at this very moment, you could take action to mobilize the visions you have had on the shelf? What would you do if I dared you to put down this book right now and take a step toward one of your hidden dreams? Now is the moment you have been waiting for. Live it to the fullest. Today, I pray to live my life in brilliant joy. Turn up my flame to believe I can do anything thru You.”

Meditation for the Day “The consciousness of God's love promotes the opening of your whole being to God. It brings wonderful relief from the cares and worries of our daily lives. Relief brings peace and peace brings contentment. Try to walk in God's love. You will have that peace which passes all understanding and a contentment that no one can take from you. Feel sure of God's unfailing love and care for you and for all His children. There is freedom and serenity in those who walk in God's love, held safe in His loving care. Prayer for the Day I pray that today, I may walk in God's love. I pray that, as I go, I may feel the spring of God's power in my steps and the joy of His love in my heart.”
