Uttered aloud, or in the silence of your hearts, it will alter an atmosphere from one of discord to one of Love. - [referring to the Name of God] God Calling, September 13
There is no permanent spiritual growth in practicing “good behavior” while continuing to think attack thoughts. Just keeping our mouth shut instead of responding in kind does not get us points in God's good-conduct book. It is our stilling our attack mind that alters our mental atmosphere and invites
peace.
Our world today appears to be going to hell in a handbasket...a hurricane train a-comin', ongoing sexual abuse in the church, all three branches of our government in disarray...and, scared, we bounce around in our mind wondering What can I do?
First, we quiet our mind; second, we affirm what we have learned, if we upgrade our attitude, we upgrade our problem; and third, we take comfort in the fact that a fundamental belief in the impermanence of evil in the face of God’s love is already ours.
An upgrade in our attitude seems to me to be the only place we each can begin in order to bring a change to our world. We need not agree on any specific anything...just go to God in the silence of our heart which will alter an atmosphere from one of discord to one of Love.
The atmosphere of Love encircles me, then thee, then we, and all are encircled in an atmosphere of Love, God's perfect peace. And our world is changed.
I can of mine own self do nothing...the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Thank you.
