let peace begin with me...
I really appreciate today's Daily Word from Unity:

The dawn from on high will break upon us... |

The love of God is uniting the
people of the world in peace.
The conditions of the world may seem
impossible to resolve at times. Realizing a true and lasting peace in the
world may seem like a dream, and we may ask ourselves, What am I to do?
We surrender to God any adverse
conditions that we perceive before us. God is the one power at work in the
world. As we surrender fear to God, we allow the consciousness of love and
peace to take its place.
The peace of God is within us and
active in this world right here and right now. The love of God unites each
of us in peace. Tapping into the peace and love that is God, we move aside
all obstacles to peace in the world. As we individually and collectively
express the peace of God, a unity of spirit demonstrates itself in our lives and
in the world.
"By the tender mercy of our God,
the dawn from on high will break upon us." -Luke 1:78
In the midst of our highest hopes and deepest fears, in the
joys and sorrows of daily living, the one power that is God is at work in our
lives and in the world. Remembering and affirming this Truth elevates
our consciousness from helplessness to power; our perceptions shift from
futility to possibility. Love and peace blossoms within us.
In my heart of hearts, I've always been aware of our
inherent oneness with God and with each other. Time after time, this
awareness has lifted me up and created a foundation of peace in the middle of
life's troubles and challenges. Likely, this is the same for you.
Though it wavers at times, the vision of peace ultimately remains intact...and
in unity with God, grows ever stronger in our consciousness and experience.
Through the days of this week, I encourage you to
focus on God's loving power in your life - and the power of your own being
inherent to your oneness with God. In unity with God, all things are
possible.
"All things" can include world peace. Again and
again, let's choose peace.
Gandhi said, "Be the peace you want to see."
Amen.
-Rev. Tom
