Sometimes disagreement can be so deep-seated that harmonious resolution seems unattainable. But when we let God – rather than resentment, anger, or self-righteousness – inspire our approach, we come to find that harmony and healing are never out of reach.

From indignation to inclusiveness

When opinions diverge, the pull of self-righteousness may sometimes feel irresistible. But recognizing all of God’s children as inherently good opens the door to inspired, harmonious progress toward solutions.

Limitless worth and employment

Recognizing the innate worth of all God’s children opens the door to opportunities to express divine goodness in unique and meaningful ways, as a woman experienced when she felt she was underemployed.

Public speaking and the welcoming warmth of Love

We all have a God-given ability to fearlessly express love, poise, and strength – even in front of a group.

‘Keeping watch’ as we watch the news

How can we consume the news in a productive, regenerating way? Starting from a spiritual standpoint is a valuable first step.

Finding freedom from character flaws

Negative character traits can sometimes seem like an inevitable part of who we are. But we are divinely empowered to live the goodness that’s natural to all of us as God’s children.

Figuring out who we are

What really defines us? Looking beyond our physical attributes or circumstances and considering our nature as God’s children offers healing, empowering answers.

Making the most out of opportunities to grow

Learning more about God and our nature as God’s children empowers us to overcome difficulties – as a man experienced after persistent pain arose in his stomach.

Letting go of self-justification

Sometimes it can be tempting to blame others for our own wrongdoing. But as a woman recently experienced, it’s never too late to experience the healing and reformation that come when we stop clinging to self-justification and humbly open our hearts to God’s merciful love.

No shortage in God’s ‘supply chain’

Recognizing that God’s grace is universal, impartial, and inexhaustible affords the opportunity to prove step by step that chronic lack is not a given.
