Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

Many years ago, people said, "You can't take more than 50 percent of the blame in a relationship." People focused on blame and believed this statement (and perhaps some still believe it). As a result, they gave only 50 percent. I suggest that you look at your relationship, not from the point of view of blaming, but in terms of taking 100 percent responsibility for it. Don't worry about what the other person does or doesn't do. Just you go for it 100 percent. Some days will be better than others, and let that be okay. Just commit to it 100 percent, doing the best you can, and, in time, you and your partner will get the message.

Lord, I am open to receive whatever it is that you bless me with.

Service is the highest form of consciousness on the planet. I have never told anyone that it is the easiest. In fact, it is the hardest. The willingness to serve is not sitting home and saying, "Call me." The willingness to serve is going up to the place, knocking on the door, and saying, "Is there something here I can do to assist you?" That is the willingness to serve. It is not just clear intention. It is intention made clear by going and presenting yourself where the service is needed.

To keep the relationship with yourself harmonious, you don't have to be perfect because that is not required on this planet. What is required for a balanced inner relationship is to be in a continual state of self-education.

More people are learning to take responsibility for their own 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. Those choices and all the variables between are available to you at any moment. Too often, you allow the temporary feeling state of the body to misrepresent who you are inside. If you have a headache, you might appear to be a little short-tempered and sharp. If you have an upset stomach, you might appear grouchy and grumpy. And if you don't get eight hours of sleep one night, the next day you might appear irritable and angry. The same body, when it's rested and feeling well, may be very loving, tender, caring and open to the world. Which are you? Which is real? Might it be possible to override the temporary states of imbalance in the body or the emotions and continue to express the loving being you are?

When someone is confused, disconnected, and separate from their true nature, they may relate to themselves falsely as unhappy, sad, and depressed, as no good, and unworthy, and rejected. The reality of who you are is that you are good. You are blessed. You are happy. You are joyous. You are true. You are whole. You are capable. Be good.

Remember, there is a loving and forgiving Father who is waiting to welcome you and celebrate your homecoming.

There is only one method that will set you free and that is Soul Transcendence, to live here and discover the higher reality, to extend into that greater consciousness of Light, of love, of Sound -- to be that. And to overcome this level, you must go into the level that can overcome it. That level is already within you. That level is the Soul. This is why MSIA teaches moving into Soul consciousness and then into Soul Transcendence, having a life in heaven before you die and knowledge that there are greater glories all around you right now.

I never say, "Oh, God, take this away from me." My prayer is always, "Oh, God, give me the strength and the wisdom to utilize this." And He always has. I do not look for a way out. I look for a way over, around, through, under. It also came to me to ask myself about each situation in my life, "How do I use this? What is it for?" As I looked back at my trials and tribulations, I saw that each one had strengthened me for the next one. They strengthened me in the personality -- not spiritually, but the Spirit came through the personality stronger and stronger and stronger as I gave it up to a higher and higher force. One day I just said, "You do it, God. I don't know how." That was not copping out; it was going to the source of all things and utilizing it instead of going to the source of my own ignorance and trying to utilize that. I suffered in my own ignorance, so I went to God and became blissful. I never lost one thing. If I had to do it all over again, I would go there faster.

If you withdraw your loving, then you're not in a state of acceptance. If you go into acceptance, you go into serving. If you do cooperation -- you're serving. If you're dedicated to a person's well being -- you are serving. The observable result of that will be God's energy: enthusiasm. In that state, things don't go neutral. They go into kidding and joking and laughing.
