I AM... Truth, Gem #1

 "The Truth shall set you free." ~Jesus

Truth is not the same for one person as it is to another.  Your truth may be different from what you were taught as a child.  It may be different from your peers.  So, how do your discover your own truth?

If the beliefs you are adhering to do not resonate with your Spirit, then you may be holding onto someone else's truth.  If you are having conflicting thoughts or negative emotions, there is a good chance you are not listening to your heart.  Stop and ask,  "Whose thoughts are these - mine or someone else's?"  Ask, "Whose judgments are these...Whose standards are these?"  Try on a belief.  If it does not bring you happiness, joy, peace harmony and love, put it aside and try another.  Your truth is your decision, no one else's.

By spending time daily with yourSelf in quiet meditation, the truth to all your questions and confusion will be revealed to you by Spirit, the Light; as this Light in itself is pure essence and Truth.  All matters will be revealed to you in perfect clarity.  You must only make yourSelf available to it.

When you know what you believe, stand firm in it and interact from this place.  Follow your heart and let it direct you on your journey.  Listening to your heart will always lead you to the experiences you desire.

Affirmation/Meditation: 

I AM... Truth.  My truth sets me free.  I find strength in my truth.  My truth brings Joy, Peace, Harmony and Love.  I honor my Truth.  I Am... Truth.

There is Power in Feeling Powerless

Although we know there is much in life we cannot control, we also do know that we have the power to think, feel and choose. We are not powerless victims of our circumstances. We are powerful co-creators with God and have the freedom to choose what we will create and experience next.

Every moment gives us the opportunity to choose what we wish to experience. Being aware of our present moments by not looking back in anger or forward in fear gives us the power to choose new and fresh perspectives and therefore experiences. At times this seems impossible and no matter how hard we try we feel powerless. This is when the choice is to ask our Higher Power-God for help! It is in this choice that we find the power in feeling powerless.

You are a magnificent, powerful being. Be aware, choose the experiences that bring you a life of joy and peace. Know that even when you feel powerless the choice is to draw from the power that created you.

Affirmation:   I AM a powerful expression of the Divine.
