the sacred heart of others

“There's a certain amount of suffering you have to be willing to sustain if you want to have a good life. If something hurts, lean into it until it loses its power over you. The trick is to be able to sustain it with your heart open and still be loving." – Will Smith, Esquire Magazine, 2015 interview
“We judge ourselves by our intentions, and others by their actions.” – Stephen Covey
Affirmative prayer: Today, I judge not. I see others by their sacred heart and pure intentions. I pray that the goodness in every person is remembered. I pray for the place in us all that wishes to lash out. Where there is conflict, may understanding and harmony show itself. Where there is anger, may there be healing and forgiveness. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
