I Am Joy Affirmation - Vicky Thompson

My heart is bursting with joy in this moment.
When I feel the glory of spirit beside me, I feel blessed.
When I see the wonder of God's creations, I feel loved.
When I hear the sound of God's whisper in my ear, I slow down.
When I know how close I am to God, I stop the world.
In this place of silence, I listen and hear my heart beat.
In each beat, I sense the tenderness that went into creating me.
In that delicate fabric of life, I feel honored to live upon the Earth.

Meditation Prayer -

Breathe deeply, inhaling the joy of spirit.  As you exhale, see golden sparkles of joy surrounding you.  As these sparkles of heavenly delight dance around you, feel your heart swelling with uncontainable joy as you say the following prayer:  Dear God, I see your same cloth of creation in my brothers and sisters.  I see the same love, patience and kindness dwelling within all humanity.  I now know that we are one and the same creation of God.  I lay down my judgements and embrace my brothers and sisters in love.  I let the same love you created in me touch the same love in all others.  In love, in peace, we embrace as one.  Joy eternal, joy present becomes me.
