Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

The best course of action is to bring yourself into an inner calm so that you become master of yourself.

Your service should always come from loving, caring, and sharing -- and also reaching out and touching. Touching opens the spirit of the other person.

In our Lord we have one who never tires nor sleeps nor forsakes and is with us for keeps. So the least we can do is keep the faith.

It is important to take responsibility for your actions. It becomes more and more difficult to lay your troubles at somebody else's doorstep and say, "My misery is your fault." No, your misery is only your choice. Your joy is also your choice.

In the story of the prodigal son in the Christian Bible, we are told of one moment when he realized he didn't have to live separately from his father and family but could go home. I'd guess that the process of coming to his senses was more gradual than the story tells. And perhaps the most important part of the story is the father's compassion for his son because it exemplifies the spirit of God manifested through this man. It exemplifies the Soul's oneness with God -- individualized as the son and yet of the same essence as the Father.

Service is something you do willingly from inside of you.

When you come from that center of Light, you expand your ability to love and to share with people, to reach out and touch them. You expand your ability to say in many ways, "Thank you for being here." Maybe you think you could not say that to anyone, that it would sound namby-pamby, but why ignore others when they really need a pat on the back and a verification that they are doing okay?

Why would it be a surprise when the conditions that would diminish or deny the loving need to be sacrificed or let go? The choices toward unconditional loving can require your strength and commitment even beyond what you have experienced before.

Spiritual exercises are an attunement with the loving quality, the pure loving that exists between you and God, and when you chant the sacred names of God, you more directly pull energy from Spirit to yourself.

The cure for ignorance is wisdom. When you see someone studying, they are demonstrating wisdom, because that's how you learn the subject matter. Someone once asked me, "How do I get more wisdom?" I answered, "In a word, practice! In two words, practice, practice. In three words, practice, practice, practice." I then said, "How many words do you need?" They said, "One, practice." That's how wisdom appears. If you want to learn anything, practice. Practice makes it automatic, so then your intelligence can come forward also. So not only do you know how to spell a word, you also know how to put it in the sentence correctly. That's wisdom. How do you get a lot of practice? Make a lot of mistakes. How do you make a lot of mistakes? Live your life in the fullest way you can with whatever situation you find yourself in and what you've got to deal with. Pretty soon you say, "Ah, I get it." That's also wisdom. It's also called insight.
