FROM "THE DAILY WORD" by UNITY

Wisdom

I see the world clearly from my heart and soul.

Tuesday, June 3, 2014

Wisdom is more than intellectual discernment or logic; it comes from the heart and soul. With wisdom, I look beyond appearances and perceive the divine potential inherent within every circumstance and every person, including myself.

Through my prayer practice, I develop and strengthen my ability to make wise choices. I connect with Source and open my heart and mind to possibilities I did not recognize before. A daily connection with my divine nature helps me listen deeply, see clearly, choose wisely, and advance joyfully. From within the sweet silence of prayer, new possibilities arise and my capacity for wise discernment grows.

You desire truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.—Psalm 51:6

INNER PEACE

I am open to the peace of God within.

The world does not determine whether or not I am at peace. I am willing to let peace begin with me. Inner peace is a state of mind and heart, one I can choose anytime.

I take time right now to center myself in peace. In a moment of silence, I release any concerns and feel my oneness with God. I relax, breathe deeply, and rest quietly. I pray “Peace, be still!” until I feel peace in every fiber of my being.

Beginning my day with a peaceful heart, I become a channel of peace, opening the way for peaceful encounters in the hours ahead. I set the intention to bring awareness to my thoughts, words, and actions throughout the day and to stay centered in peace.

For God is a God not of disorder but of peace. —1 Corinthians 14:33

"FRESH CUT ROSES" is now in the collection of
Mr. & Mrs. John McKechnie 
Shalimar, Florida

"John and Christi McKechnie have purchased several Nora Kasten paintings over the last fifteen years but this is the most special to me.  John emailed me before Thanksgiving saying he wanted to purchase another painting to give to his wife, Christi, for Christmas this year.  What makes this so special is that John emailed me from Afghanistan where he is deployed after his reserve unit was called up last July.  I heard no complaints from him.  He said that he has been in the reserve for 18 years and they always were aware that this might happen.  My heart goes out to John and his family (they have three children) as he serves honorably for our country  .  .  . .  FOR US!  It must be hard for them everyday but especially through these Holidays being separated from each other and the dangerous threat always overhead.  I feel overwhelming gratitude and I'm asking each of you to please join with me in prayer for John and his family?"
