40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God
40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal
Rule 18
“ If you want to change the way others treat you, you should first change the way you treat yourself. Unless you learn to love yourself, fully and sincerely, there is no way you can be loved. Once you achieve that stage, however, be thankful for every thorn that others might throw at you. It is a sign that you will soon be showered in roses. “*

Today, we are releasing SELF-PITY and embracing God’s Love for us.
Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of SELF-PITY.
“It is his/her fault!” “I can’t help it!” “There is nothing I can do about it.” These words speak of victimization and self-pity. They also speak of separation and lack of understanding of ourselves as Divine Beings.
Something may have happened during our childhood that made us believe that we are helpless and that resulted in self-pity.
However, the Truth is that we are Divine Being. A spark of God with all is power reside within us. We are powerful beings. As we affirm our Oneness and tune in with the Divine Power, we free ourselves from the chains of this limiting belief. Shortly, we will discover the courage and power to take responsibility for our choices and for our life. —Rev. Norma Iris Rosado and Rev Kudlik
We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: I am worthy of love and respect. I celebrate my uniqueness.I am enough just the way I am.
Rule No18 invites us today to realise that what we want from others must start with us. What we cannot give to ourselves, we cannot receive from others because we are simply blind for them.
Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule, the text above, and the quote below. In your meditation, I would like you to confront any limiting beliefs and thoughts about your Power. Connect with the Divine Presence and allow God’s Loving embrace you and empower you.
Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.
Today we affirm: Today, I release self-pity.
Daily quotes:
God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.—2 Timothy 1:7
Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org
Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’, understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us.
I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between
the 5th of March to the 21 April 2025,
I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).
Let’s walk this journey together!
