Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Truth will out.” Shakespeare

This is an affirmation I believe. Truth will indeed out! My belief that truth will ultimately prevail is inseparably connected to the same belief I have in God. I cherish the understanding that the Creator God is reality, and even if He is denied, He will ultimately have the final word in all things.  

“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” Ps.145.18 Conversations Within” ts 9/28/2020



“It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.” Steve Agyei

What do I affirm? We base our lives on our perceptions of reality. Truth will only set us free if what we believe to be true, actually is true. What we tell ourselves is right, is something we don’t want to get wrong. Who wants to end up on the rocks of being wrong when we thought we had it right. Do not be afraid to challenge your perceptions and affirmations. Truth will pass any test we can throw at it.  

“The truth will set you free.” Jesus Conversations Within” ts 9/27/2020



“An affirmation opens the door. It is the beginning point on the path to change.” Louise l. Hay

It makes perfect sense to me that a life that is built on truth, is the only life worth living; a lie is after all, a lie. Jesus pointedly told His followers to center their lives around His Father’s designs. Our relationships, responsibilities, the use of our resources, and even our recreations are experienced fully when we follow the Creator’s designs for them. Who knows more about the intended purpose of something than the One who made it.  

“Set them apart in the truth. Your word is true.” Prayer of Jesus Conversations Within” ts 9/26/2020



”It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.” St. Augustine

No one can be too humble. It is one quality that creates goodness in everything it touches. Humility shapes our attitude in such a way that we do not over or underestimate our place in the world. This gentle meekness equally directs our energy to contribute rather than consume. Humility creates value in the soul.  

“Before honor is humility.” Prov.15.33  Conversations Within” ts 9/25/2020



“A healthy attitude is contagious, but don’t wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.” Tom Stopphard

I want to be the kind of person who radiates positive energy to the people around me. Like a gentle breeze on a hot day, I want to refresh others. Lord, give me an enthusiasm for living that splashes goodness on the people in my life, and gives them a taste of how beautiful each day is.   

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Gal.5.22 Conversations Within” ts 9/24/2020
