Where to look when you need… transformation
Dear Father, thank You for Your forgiveness. That You and Your mercy and grace are given freely through the shed blood of Your Son, Jesus.
When God forgives, He removes the sin and restores the soul.
The more we understand our own minds, the more we understand everyone else. We increasingly feel the commonality of our human condition, of what creates suffering and how we can be free. Our practice also benefits others through the transformation of how we are in the world. If we’re more accepting, more peaceful, less judgmental, less selfish, then the whole world is that much more loving and peaceful, that much less judgmental and selfish. Our mind-body is a vibrating, resonating energy system. Of necessity, how we are affects everyone around us. On a boat in the middle of a great storm, one wise, calm person can bring everyone to safety. The world is like that boat, tossed by the storms of greed and hatred and fear. Can we be one of those people who help to keep it safe?

Father, thank you for the salvation You offer and that no one, including me is beyond the reach of Your mercy, grace and transforming power. Help me share my story with others so that people can see Your love.
No one is beyond the reach of God's love.

I have hidden your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against You [Psalm 119:11]
First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality.
The beginning, as you observe, is in your imagination.

A simple gesture of acceptance may not seem like much, but for John Karmegan it proved decisive.

Conversion, however, did not temper John's high dudgeon against the world. He gained some friends among fellow patients, but a lifetime of rejection and mistreatment had permanently embittered against him against all nonpatients. One day, almost defiantly, he asked me what would happen if he visited the local Tamil church in Vellore.

Inwardly, we ought to be different in every respect, but our outward dress should blend in with the crowd. — Seneca, Moral Letters, 5.2
Lord, give us the desire to learn throughout life, so that we may grow increasingly closer to You each day. Than You for those who have inspired us to learn about You.
Reading the Bible is meant not the inform but to transform.

Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.
