Jesus proclaimed as the second “great commandment” (Matthew 22:39): “Love thy neighbour as thyself.” It may seem easier sometimes to love another than to love oneself.

Leaning on the eternal promise of “God with us” brings richness and fullness to our lives – whether we’re alone or with others.

Learning that our foundation is divine Love, we find there’s no limit to the kindness and generosity we can share in our communities.

Letting the light of joy into our hearts brings to our prayers a greater clarity about God’s healing love for us.

As we open our hearts to the infinitude of God, good, we’re better equipped to think and act in ways that bring uplift and light.

Considering our nature as God’s children can lift us to new heights of inspiration and bring healing.

Instead of blaming ourselves or others for mistakes, we can accomplish more by turning to God for forgiveness and for the lessons that enable us to go higher in our spiritual understanding.

We can look to the Bible for inspiration that opens our eyes to God’s goodness, which is always present.

As we head into a new year – and all year round – we can let God’s promise of newness inspire progress and healing.

Letting God, divine Love, inform our view of ourselves and others equips us to overcome fear and opens the door to healing.
