"My holiness envelopes everything I see."
[Marsha's thoughts]
What does holiness mean to you? That's the question I will ponder today as I go about my activities. While "my holiness envelopes everything I see", I will think about what, exactly, that means. I feel that the question, Who Am I?, is an important one to ask when defining my holiness. Moses tells us that I Am is all that is: I Am that I Am. I take those words to mean that when I admit my true self, my spiritually-revealed Self, I am able to see and express my holiness enveloping everything, which includes me and my thoughts. Everything I see through a spiritual sense is seeing as I Am. This sight turns us to the presence of divine Love, God, and Its never-ending principle which guides and guards. To see as Love sees, to be as Love is, to relax into your True Self -- these things, and more, are both the principle and the practice of today's lesson.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"We know that a desire for holiness is requisite in order to gain holiness; but if we desire holiness above all else, we shall sacrifice everything for it. We must be willing to do this, that we may walk securely in the only practical road to holiness. Prayer cannot change the unalterable Truth, nor can prayer alone give us an understanding of Truth; but prayer, coupled with a fervent habitual desire to know and do the will of God, will bring us into all Truth. Such a desire has little need of audible expression. It is best expressed in thought and in life." Science & Health Page 11:22-32
