More Trusting and less trying.
Surrender to Love and learn to Listen.
Listen to your heart rather than resolve with your head.
Seek first Peace in your mind and then understanding comes into your heart.
Where there is effort, there is judgment and fear.
Where there is pressure, there is the need to be right.
Where there is demand, there is fear of punishment.
Where there is trial and tribulation, there is worldly duty and sacrifice.
When we are at peace, we know the Love within.
When we are kind, we feel forgiving Spirit.
When we are gentle, we surrender to the Will of God’s Grace.
When we are trusting, we live in at-one-ment with our Faith.
What would change in your relationship with your self, if you knew always you are loved?
How would you relate to others if you let them find their own path to God and their Good?
How would you respond differently, if you knew your single response-ability is to respond with Love?
What would you give to others, if you live the Golden Rule and give only what you want to receive?
The more we love, trust and respect ourselves, the more we love, trust and respect others.
The more we love, trust and respect ourselves, the more others love, trust and respect us.
The more we love, trust and respect ourselves, the more others, love, trust and respect themselves.
The more we love trust and respect ourselves, the more others love, trust and respect others.
Our greatest influence is how we live and love and give.
Our words of influence fall on deaf ears when we are not living what we say.
Our positive thoughts and words inspire us to teach and learn a better way.
Our negative (fearful and critical) thoughts and words discourage, discredit and depress ourselves and others.
When we are confused, conflicted and unclear, we are split in our allegiance and influence.
When we say one things, but do another our influence and power are not credible.
When we serve two masters, two pictures, two goals, we confuse both messenger and recipient.
Power comes from the integrity of our teaching and our learning, our attitude of faith or doubt.
It is time to choose the power of the positive.
It is time to demonstrate optimism rather than pessimism.
It is time to build rather than tear down.
It is time to create Good in our lives by giving all our thoughts, words and activities only to Good for Good.
Stop thinking, saying, or behaving in ways that demonstrate what you don’t want to continue.
Stop talking to others about what is wrong and affirm and appreciate what is “right”.
Stop believing or thinking the worst and start having faith in the highest and best outcome.
Stop trying to do what you have always done and expecting a better result.
Let Go and Let only the Good be done through you.
The Greatest Teachers taught the Power of Love.
The most powerful role models learned from mistakes rather than condemning them.
The most profound changes happen when we “let go and let God and Good be done through us.”
Loving us all as we Let Go and Trust in the Power and Presence of Love,
Betty Lue
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me give love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
