LOVE
February is a month that I choose to celebrate love.
Suggested reading for this month:
“The Game of Life and How to Play It” by Florence Scovel Shinn
Parallel scripture for reflection: I Peter 1:22
“You obeyed the truth, and your souls were made pure. Now you sincerely love each other. But you must keep on loving with all your heart.” CEV
“Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth, so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart.” NRSV
“Now you can have sincere love for each other as brothers and sisters because you were cleansed from your sins when you accepted the truth of the Good News. So see to it that you really do love each other intensely with all your hearts. NLT
"Seeing I have purified MY soul in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, I see that I love EVERYONE with a pure heart fervently." KJV personalized by LaVonne Sumler Love is God in manifestation, and the strongest magnetic force in the universe. Pure, unselfish love draws to itself its own; it does not to seek or demand. Florence Scovel Shinn
February 1st Today is a new and exciting day. I love myself so much that I expect the Universe to work on my behalf. I am expressing love in everything that I do.
February 16th Today I am reminded that my thoughts and words shape my environment. If I see something that is not pleasing to me, I know that I have the power to create something different in my world.
February 25th Today as I interact with another, I will do so with respect and integrity. My actions create the environment for them to do the same. In the process, we build mutual trust and admiration---key components for healthy relationships.
February 28th Today I acknowledge my appreciation for my relationships. It has been an awesome month. I operated with the power of love and demonstrated harmony and order in every interaction and transaction.
