Here are three ways to search through the history of over 5,000 Loving Each Day quotes by John-Roger and John Morton.
If you want something that you can provide for yourself, don't just ask God for it; go out and work to get it. Don't ask God to carry your bags if you have two good arms. God isn't the great bellhop in the sky. Anyway, if you can order God around, that means you're God. If you can't order God around, it simply means that you're a smaller god. You are still a god of your own beingness, of your own inner universe. What happens in your universe when you're upset, depressed, and miserable? I suppose you're creating earthquakes on your planet. Maybe you're destroying your inhabitants. Perhaps you are one of the wrathful gods who rule through fear. Is that the way you want God to be with you? No, I'm sure you want God to take care of you, be kind and benevolent, and give you what you need. If that is so, then perhaps you should watch what you are doing within your own universe.
Your attitude is more important than the action. And in whatever you do, be loving and choose wisely.
The neat thing to know is that the law of God is just and it's impartial. Yet some of you may say that God should give you a break. If you enter into the grace of now, God gives you the break. So all the breaks are in our hands and our control.
Prayer is an opportunity to resonate with all your mind and beingness. What am I going to utter to God? Maybe it is time for listening, time to hear from my consciousness and commune with the Divine. What is on purpose now? Where does my purpose lead?
Let changes just happen as they happen. All you have to do is keep your eye on your goal and keep moving toward it, irregardless of whatever else seems to be going on in your life. As you do this, the changes will just come about naturally for you -- they won't be forced or "pushed".
In a marriage, each one contributes one hundred percent. Then it doesn't matter who is fulfilling what role. If the goal is the same for both people, either partner may fulfill any part. As long as you give one hundred percent, then the marriage is complete and is working.
The human consciousness is so constructed that you can live with a high degree of pain -- physical, emotional, mental, and so on -- and live with it for such a long time that you grow accustomed to it. A path filled with accustomed pain may appear to be one of little resistance, so you continue on it for quite some time. You may be feeling the negative feedback that is telling you what is happening, but you are accustomed to it, so you let it go. Then, when it builds to a point of explosion, you say, "But I didn't get any negative feedback." If you take the time to look closely, you will probably see where it was and how you missed it.
When you feel really negative and you talk about it - not as a victim but as a way of facing the enemy and loving it - you are saying, "Out of God comes all things." All things. That includes the negative things, too. Negative doesn't mean bad; we make things bad by judging them.
In the mind, instead of finding negative thinking and talking about life, we can find the thoughts about God and the consciousness of loving in God. So we defeat the negative by using it to go to the positive.
Lord, give me strength, patience, and understanding. I accept. I cooperate. If there's a way I can go beyond what You require, I choose to make it even better.
