Isn't it wonderful how we're realizing what blesses one blesses all? We're starting to realize that it's not selfish to open our hearts to the knowledge of God as Love. To accept our goodness as a sinless image and likeness of God is freedom like none other we have felt. This Love lives within us. We're seeing this as we clear away the clutter which has hidden its presence. Blessing myself with the beauty of this acknowledgement is blessing all. While I realize that no words are necessary to convey this message to others, very often I can't be silent. I have learned that when people are telling me their problems, most of the time they are not interested in hearing what I think about it. They just want to talk. But recently I was in the grocery store and a man I've known for a few years began telling me about his cat which had contracted something called bobcat fever and died. He told a rather long story about how he didn't feel it would be responsible for him to get another cat, as he felt he would be dooming it to the same fate because this disease is supposedly rampant in the woods where he lives. During the whole conversation, I sent him love, and when he was through I hugged him and, with a deep look into his eyes, started to walk away. But he shouted after me, Isn't that right? So I turned back and said, No, it is not. So in the produce section we had quite a talk about what is true materially and what is True in spiritual reality. While I don't plan to carry around a soapbox to jump up on and preach to people, I will not be afraid to correct erroneous thought when asked point blank. Now is the time for us all to realize our goodness and purity. By this knowledge, it spreads out to everyone, because we are all One.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Shall we ask the divine Principle of all goodness to do His own work? His work is done, and we have only to avail ourselves of God's rule in order to receive His blessing, which enables us to work out our own salvation.”
