AUGUST 27
I ENJOY LIFE TODAY
The Infinite is the source of joy. There is no joy in the finite. Only in the infinite is there joy. Ask to know the Infinite.
Chandogya Upanishad
Omnipresence surrounds me; omniscience inspires me; and omnipotence is mine to direct. All things bless me, and all people benefit me. I look out upon my universe and love it, for He who made it indwells it. He that made me, acts through me with ease, for I let God be in me all that He desires for me. God’s vision of me as a perfect expression of life is my vision of myself. There is nothing to cause me to feel regret or sorrow, for I recognize but one Mind – God. I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that good is my only experience today.
It is as easy to be joyous, as it is to be sad. It is as easy to think of God, as it is to think of trouble. I devote my consciousness to joyous ideas, and I experience happiness in my world. When others point out to me their troubles, I immediately correct my thought and proclaim order and right action. I never hesitate to declare the Truth. He who hesitates to speak Truth is lost in untruth. I speak positively, yet lovingly. I stand firmly for what I know is Truth, and I am not afraid to say so. Never again will I indulge in false sympathy, or a belief that evil has power. God alone rules my life with His joyous activity of ideas.
I am divinely enthusiastic about the possibilities of the present. All of God is for me, and things are turning my way. Life offers me all that I can take. Beauty seeks my eyes, and love seeks my heart. I give all glory and all honor to God, and there is nothing but gladness in my soul. My feet are planted on holy ground, and the whole universe invites me to enjoy the game of life. Right thinking is my greatest asset. Right living is my true vocation. I love to live the life which is God.
