ABOUT THE DAILY INSPIRATION

The Daily Inspiration is the signature publication of the Universal Foundation for Better Living (UFBL), which was founded in Chicago, Illinois by the Rev. Dr. Johnnie Colemon in 1974. The UFBL is an international association of New Thought Christian churches, centers, and study groups located throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and South America.

In the UFBL, we believe that right thinking, followed by right words, feelings, actions, and reactions, is the key to the healthy, happy, and prosperous life that God promised and Jesus advocated for all people. The Daily Inspiration aspires to present this message of empowerment in a practical, engaging way.

LESSONS FOR BETTER LIVING

Here's what's in store...

"I set forth my intention and know that
God is ordering my steps according to Its will
and purpose for my life. I allow the perfect
plan to unfold as I follow the path. My faith
is focused, and my strength is sustained. I
constantly affirm divine order and know that
all is well"

(excerpt from Wednesday, September 1, 2010, "It's the Law").

THE 5 UFBL PRINCIPLES

1. The Omnipresence of God (Psalm139:7-8): Everything that exists, or ever will exist is pressed out of the body of God (God-Substance) in the different forms of manifestation. Since the nature of God is absolute good, and everything is God- Substance, there can be no evil in reality.

2. The Divinity of Humankind (Spiritual:Genesis 1:26; Manifest: Genesis 2:7): Humankind is made in the image-likeness of God.

3. The Value and Power of Though t (Proverbs 23:7): It is through thinking that humankind forms that which we have in our lives.

4. Practicing the Presence (Philippians 4:8): Living in the presence of God through Prayer (communion with God), Meditation (conscious thought on aspects of God), and Silence (listening to God).

5. The Law of Demonstration (Luke 12:32): The Law of Mind Action: Like begets like. Humankind’s Responsibility as Children of God: Right Thinking, Right Words, Right Feelings, Right Actions, Right Reactions.
