When you share in each other’s troubles, you help to carry each other’s burdens. We’re meant to bring comfort and love to each other. We’re blessed by blessing others. We’re healed by helping to heal others. By consciously loving others, we discover that we are loved.
Okay, let’s go ahead and get started by taking a moment to notice your breath.
Just the rise and the fall of the chest.
And when you’re ready, let your eyes close like the sun sets.
Now take a moment to consider this verse. The person who loves others has done all that the law commands.
And again. The person who loves others has done all that the law commands.
Now, bring your attention to your breath. Just a soft, easy awareness.
Notice what it feels like as air passes in through the nose and then back out through the mouth.
Let the breath bring life to your body.
Begin to listen to the sound of your breath,
listening to the inhale and the exhale.
On the next exhale, allow the breath to relax and become natural.
Allow your breath to bring renewal to your body.
You’re making space to notice God’s presence in your life.
When it feels comfortable, bring your attention to the heartbeat.
Allow that rhythm and stillness to enter every part of your body.
Feel the presence of God in this space.
Gently bring your awareness to any sensations you’re feeling.
Just noticing the sensations on the body.
Maybe it’s the air on the skin. or the weight of the body in the chair.
Just noticing and welcoming these sensations as part of the meditation.
Notice the rise and the fall of the chest as you breathe.
Follow the breath and notice how it changes your body.
The inhales expanding the body and filling it up with life. and the exhales relaxing the body Letting go,
you don’t have to do anything. It’s natural and effortless. Your body knows how to relax.
You are simply unearthing the calm that was already there.
This is a safe place of love and deep rest.
Allow your mind to take refuge in God.
Take this verse with you. The person who loves others has done all that the law commands.
Gently bring your awareness back to the feeling of the body. Notice the weight of the body on the chair, and when you feel ready, allow your eyes to open. And take a nice, deep breath. Notice how your breath changes the way you feel. I hope you feel a little more in touch with God. We’ll see you again next time.
With hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
Love is the miracle drug. Love allows us to overcome pain and disappointment. It allows us to persevere through struggles. It restores our hopes and dreams. God is love. And what God loves most is love. is you.
Many of us grew up with the idea that God was sitting in heaven writing down every bad thing that we ever did. But what God tells us He actually does is not writing, but erasing. As soon as we can add another item to our list of wrongs, God is erasing it. This is because God is love, and love keeps no record of wrongs.
When we seek God, we always get more than we ask for. We’re seeking connection. And without even asking for it, God begins to change our hearts. He begins to gradually release all those negative thoughts and feelings that we hold on to. Gradually, He changes what’s inside of us.
