Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I am guided by the better angels of my nature.

President Lincoln, in his first inaugural address, as the US was reeling from the divisiveness between North and South, said the following which can be applied, even in our modern times, and not just in the US, but across the whole world:

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

Thus, we are now, yet again, in a time where people, even members of the same family, see themselves as enemies because of their differing views and beliefs. Yet our evolution needs to be one where we are guided by the better angels of our nature. This is the evolution that is being called for at this time, and that we can all help to manifest. 

Rather than resist everything that is taking place, we can evolve by opening our hearts and our minds and become the "better form" of who we are, and thus manifest the  better angels of our nature.
