Today’s reading is another collection of pithy statements for contemplation. Here’s how I recommend reading NTI 1 Peter 5:
- As you read, write down any statements that stand out to you as especially important or meaningful.
- After you have finished reading, go back and contemplate the statements you wrote down.
- Write what comes to you as you contemplate those statements. If you are guided into deeper journaling, follow that prompt.
It’s likely you will have a very insightful experience with today’s reading if you contemplate it as I’ve recommended. Don’t feel like you have to contemplate every sentence in the reading. Ask inner wisdom to help you know which sentences/paragraphs are for you.
Thoughts of Awakening # 256
One cannot figure out
“What am I?”
You are always led from within,
and you are always answered from within.
When you say “thank you,”
direct your gratitude toward the Heart.
Allow a moment of silence
to follow your words.
Likewise, when you are angry or annoyed,
look inside for the cause.
You are always led from within,
so if there is an error that is causing you pain
the error can be found
and eradicated
by looking within.
~From our Holy Spirit
