A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful centre. It neither craves others' approval nor rejects others' presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants.

There is so much more.

Whenever possible, choose peace.

I am always safe.I am protected by God who cares for me day and night.God’s power is infinitely greater than any power to the contrary.The angels are around me, keeping me safe, and whispering good things into the ears of my friends and enemies.There are many, passed-over loved ones (even those I do not know) who watch over me and pray for me.I have a purpose on Earth and God will help me to fulfil it.I release my fears. I am at peace.

Faith changes us - faith in something intrinsically good, something other than ourselves, something bigger than ourselves.

If we become aware that someone is sending thoughts of ill will in our direction, we do not argue with the apparent reality of malice. To do so would give it more substance. We remove the personal sense of ourself and the other person.

Do we find ourself or does our self get demolished?

We love with all our heart but we also keep our heart light and pliable. It has space. It breathes. It waits on life to give instructions. It sings with sweetness when the winds are soft and warm. It stands with calm patience when the storm is brewing. It lets go when endings have left their irrefutable mark. It moves. It heals. It hopes.

One who knows their connection with divine Love can never feel the isolation of loneliness or the fear of being rejected or deserted. One cannot be apart from or turned away from a Love which knows no parting and is present and available under all circumstances.
