For all the law can be summarized in one grand statement: “Demonstrate love to your neighbor, even as you care for and love yourself.” But if you continue to criticize and come against each other over minor issues, you’re acting like wild beasts trying to destroy one another! Let me emphasize this: As you yield to the dynamic life and power of the Holy Spirit, you will abandon the cravings of your self-life. When your self-life craves the things that offend the Holy Spirit you hinder him from living free within you! And the Holy Spirit’s intense cravings hinder your self-life from dominating you! So then, the two incompatible and conflicting forces within you are your self-life of the flesh and the new creation life of the Spirit. But when you yield to the life of the Spirit, you will no longer be living under the law, but soaring above it!

Saint Augustine said, "It was pride that changed angels into devils; humility makes men as angels." The theme of these guided audio meditations is pride. Day one is affirming your dignity in Christ. Day two is belief in God's guidance even when you can't see your whole path. And day three is glory - setting aside your selfish pride to give glory reserved for God and him alone.
“If only.” Are there words any more defeating? “If” implies chance and “only” diminishes the goal. What if you could reach higher than “if only.” Achieving the heights of true love and the way of God. The first guided audio meditation theme is calling for the way of love. The second meditation is on motivation and God’s reward of love. And finally, a reflection on learning to love without ceasing.
Dr. Seuss wrote that “you know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because the reality is better than your dreams.” Is love your reality? In the first of these guided audio meditations, you discover how to love and be loved. The second meditation will help you detect the burdens of others and lighten them with love. And a final reflection on feeling the love by gathering with others.
This reading plan is particularly close to my heart. It is a journey to encounter the peace found in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. A peace discovered in the face of personal disappointment. These guided audio meditations begin centering on being mindful of God’s joy indwelling within you. Then reflecting on being aligned with the desires of God. Finally, a reflection on loving without ceasing when facing hardship.
