There can be no darkness where I provide the light.
Love is within us. It cannot be destroyed, but can only be hidden.
Often faith isn’t hoping that good times are coming; it’s trying to see that the good times are here.
To look to God is to look to the realm of consciousness that can deliver us from the pain of living.
Dear God, I surrender this thought to you, for I would see the miracle that lies behind it. Amen.
We need to change society’s ordering principle from economic to humanitarian values, from money as the bottom line to love as the bottom line.
While overeating would be seen by some as an indulgence of self, it is in fact a profound rejection of self. It is a moment of self-betrayal and self-punishment, and anything but a commitment to one’s own well-being.
Spiritual growth is like childbirth: you dilate, then you contract, you dilate, then you contract again. as painful as it all feels, it’s the necessary rhythm for reaching the ultimate goal of total openness.
Forgiveness is ‘selective remembering’ – a conscious decision to focus on love and let the rest go.
The places in our personality where we tend to deviate from love are not out faults, but our wounds. God doesn’t want to punish us, but to heal us. And that is how He wishes us to view the wounds in other people.
To forgive is merely to remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the past, and those that were given you. All the rest must be forgotten.
If we do not like what we see in the world, we must face what we don’t like in ourselves. As we change, the world will change with us.
When love is our guiding light, we can break through barriers to be of loving service to the world. Gaining the courage and confidence to stand up for what you believe in is not always easy, but it’s fully within your reach.
Faith isn’t blind, it’s visionary.
The issue is not whether or not you have that power, the issue is whether or not you use it.
When you carry yesterday’s thinking into today, you program tomorrow to be like yesterday.
The real transformation of the world comes not from what we are doing but from the consciousness from which we are doing it.
No matter what mistakes we might have made yesterday, today is the day we can retrieve our innocence.
The universe is conspiring at this moment to bring you happiness and peace.
Light is to darkness what love is to fear; in the presence of one the other disappears.
