Religion

"Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair."
~Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Affirmation: My religion is to express the love, joy, mercy and peace that God has placed within me.
Meditation: Dear God,
It is easy to talk about You, to speak and teach of Your limitless love for all people. Help us talk with You--to listen and make that love real for each other and for ourselves. Help us love with our attitudes, actions, hearts and minds. It is easy to speak about justice, mercy and forgiveness because they are lovely ideals. May we have the insight and courage to be merciful and just and forgiving. It is easy to repeat creeds and dogmas, to quote from books and sing songs. Guide our experience of You that each of us might express the glory of living in relationship with You. Amen
