Divine Order
Divine order is established in me and in my life.
As I think about order, I marvel at nature. Winter's barren trees follow their indwelling pattern to become summer's canopy of green. Birds follow their internal compass to make their yearly migration. The sun rises every morning in the east and sets in the west.
I am part of and immersed in the order of life. My breathing is orderly and rhythmic, as is my heartbeat; neither requires my control or direction. I relax into the flow of divine order and allow God to express in and through me, guiding my unfolding.
As each new day begins, divine order manifests in all I think and do. Divine order is established in my life, and I am grateful.
You have made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting. --Psalm 104:19

Featured Article
It is a brand-new year, a wonderful time to
explore opportunities that never before seemed possible. Before coming to
Unity, New Year’s resolutions took the form of do’s and don’ts for me—like, I
should be nicer to my family and stop eating junk food! Once I started studying
spiritual principles, I learned a different way to envision my future.

joy in sorrow
dreamt about my dad again yesterday and i awoke crying. i took a walk and ended up in the woods behind my house. going further than i ever had before. i ended up at a small brook. in the middle of winter there was life. it was warm, birds singing and two chipmunks playing on a nearby log. i thanked God for this moment as i communicated with THE ONE. i realized when life seems at it worst,when it seems there is no more life, it is all around us. even as the earth sleeps, as we sleep, GOD IS AWAKE. HE hears all our hopes and dreams. and when we awaken, He is still there. so to those who are hurting,i say to you: yes i stil miss my father. but where there is death there is LIFE. we are spirits inside bodies and we too shall be reborn. Go in peace and i love you all.

Joy - the video
Wow! Just after reading today's daily word, Joy... We just found this... A must see TED talk about this subject. This is the video version: youtu.be/fLJsdqxnZb0
This sounds just like a
This sounds just like a simple matter of semantics. Whether you call it grace, or call it mercy, the big picture point is that God's love for us is so great that we do not suffer the full consequences of our words and actions, ever. Yes, we do bear consequences for our words and actions, but if everything we said and did was consequated down to the "jot and tittle," we'd be living less than a fulfilling existence. Grace and mercy bless us with God's love above and beyond our words and actions.
life
life is how we preseve it and what we do with it .we as a whole don't know how to accept falls and pit falls some times we are delt a terible hand and we blame every one but ourselves for it know matter what comes our way.some time we need to stop and think relax release let go and let god.forget all that is going on around give god thank and glory for life love,we can't blame god for our mistakes it is our ignorance that gets us into trouble we dont listen we here what we want to here and forget to thank him for every thing in our lives, even on to the fall and the pit falls.
Challenge
Good morning. I have been facing a challenge for the past two(2)months which has been physically and mentally draining. I have been praying and asking God to give me the strength needed. Yesterday a Friend suggested that I logon to DAILYWORD. This morning I took her advice. The Message today is truly a Message for me. Thank you for the uplifting Message this morning. Thank God for my FRIEND. Thank you MY FRIEND.
I disagree with the sentence
I disagree with the sentence regarding God's grace protecting me if I make a choice not in my best interest.
First, it is not God's "grace", rather God's "mercy". Grace is getting what we do not deserve. Mercy is not getting what we do deserve.
Second, I believe there are always consequences for our behavior, for our choices. God may give us wisdom and guidance after we make a "poor" choice in order to learn and make better choices in the future, but I think He does not protect us from our choices.
Wish I Could Believe This Again
Once upon a time, I really beleived this but now I am not so sure. I know someone recently who trusted their inner guidance and ended up losing their home. How can we trust when things like this happen? They even received signs that led them in the direction they went but still the negative outcome occurred. It is unsettling to think we cannot even trust our inner guidance.

Hi Lynn
Do we really have access to another person's "inner guidance"? I can only state with certainty my perspective, and should another person share with me their views, it resembles a projection of their thoughts and feelings, on the surface, not the depth of who they are. This allows me to focus on my reaction to events and to quote someone wise..."we don't see things as they are we see things as we are". As for what's a negative outcome, consider the crucifixion of Jesus? Some could argue that it was a negative consequence to His political views, while others believe it's a positive outcome of His faith.
Always believe!
Many times things come about that WE think are negative, but they actually open a window or door to new opportunities. I have lived this reality over and over personally. Sometimes God has to dramatically take you out of a situation I.e, losing a home) so that S/He can get you to something greater!!! You may not understand now, but it becomes clearer over time why things happen. It maybe a week, a year or many years. When in doubt myself, I always go back to the last episode that seemed "hopeless" and relive how it brought me to greater heights! Trust that inner guidance (if you are sure it is true and not that toxic voice of fear). Pay attention to how it feels. If that feeling feels like love and the right path, then take it.
