============================================================ #1 One God - Honesty ============================================================ Religions through out the ages have proclaimed that humanity is but one big family. Most of the principles followed by one religion are also echoed by another.
To help gain a better understanding of just how similar the various religions are, I present the following collection of writings based on the principle of "Peace".
Note, we will be introducing a different principle in each issue of the "Affirmations For The Mind" eZine.
Our Father, it is thy universe, it is thy will: Let us be at peace, let the souls of the people be cool. Thou art our Father, remove all evil from our path. - African - Nuer Prayer (Sudan)
Victory breeds hatred, for the defeated live in pain. Happily live the peaceful, giving up victory and defeat. - Buddhism - Dhammapada 201
Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of God. - Christianity, Matthew 5:9
Do you want long life and happiness? Strive for peace with all your heart. Christianity & Judaism - Psalm 34: 12, 14
As rivers flow into the ocean but cannot make the vast ocean overflow, so flow the streams of the sense world into the sea of peace that is the sage. - Hinduism - Bhagavad Gita 2.70
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace. - Judaism - Isaiah 52:7 (partial verse)
The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace. - Judaism - Talmud, Gittin 59b
All things exist for world peace. - Perfect Liberty Church Perfect Liberty Kyodan Precepts, 14
Now is the gracious Lord's ordinance promulgated, No one shall cause another pain or injury; All mankind shall live in peace together, Under a shield of administrative benevolence. - Sikhism - Adi Granth, Sri Raga, M.5, p. 74

============================================================ #3 Today's Choices ============================================================ I choose love... No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness, I choose love. Today I will love God and what God loves.
I choose joy... I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.
I choose peace... I will live forgiven. I will forgive so that I may live.
I choose patience... I will overlook the inconveniences of the world. Instead of cursing the one who takes my place, I'll invite him to do so. Rather than complaining that the wait is too long, I will thank God for a moment to pray. Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with joy and courage.
I choose kindness... I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. Kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.
I choose goodness... I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one. I will be overlooked before I will boast. I will confess before I will accuse.
I choose faithfulness... Today I will keep my promises. My debtors will not regret their trust. My associates will not question my word. My loved ones will not question my love. And my children will never fear that their parent will not come home.
I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice, may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
I choose self control... I am a spiritual being. After this body is dead, my spirit will soar. I refuse to let what will rot, rule the eternal. I will be drunk only by joy. I will be impassioned only by my faith. I will be influenced only by God.
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek His grace.
And then when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.
