Whatever the source of the meditation, I love rephrasing my more potent meditations, as simply as possible, in my own words. It helps me incorporate them into my current circumstances, needs and attitudes. It makes the wisdom mine to live by.

Wonderful summary, Marah. Wise words to comfort any day.

I'd love to see them, it's sad we live in a world now that gets so angry about verses from the Bible. Any REAL Christian would know that everything in that book is meant for Love.

There are several Christian boards on here that may be a source of support for you Marah

People of all faiths or no faith are more then welcome on DS so the general rule is that people can't push their beliefs onto others on the site however the site recognizes that faith is a great source of support for many on here

I will often give people a blessing when I comment

Fighting over any faith is never allowed on the site …. Just some info if you were looking for clarification

Thank you for sharing Marah...… Big hug.....xo

I have copied this from the Rules of the Road for DS..... I'm not sure if you were looking for clarification...…. There's absolutely nothing wrong with your post.... It's a nice and inspiring post......xo

6. Religion:
DailyStrength has no religious affiliation. However, we believe that religion can play an important role in helping people overcome their challenges. Members must respect other members' differing religious beliefs, and do not assume that other members subscribe (or want to subscribe) to yours.
Here are 3 things we ask you not to do:
a. Impose your beliefs on others. Example: Telling members of our Gay & Lesbian communities that they are "sinners" is not appropriate.
b. Disrespect someone else's religion.
c. Spamming (aka "sending unsolicited messages") to members about religion. Repeatedly posting religious passages (or anything else, for that matter) around the site is not appropriate.

I often use poetry. I think the source is less important than the impact it has on us. Triple hugs of support

My first support group was Alanon, and their book Courage to Change is full of good meditations that cut across all creeds, beliefs, religious persuasions, spiritualities, you name it. When I went down to Uruguay for a year they even used them well there. Good stuff. Here's a link to a lot of good selected quotes from it.
