Relevance and Response
/
“For many years, I wondered why the God of the Bible who spoke to people, performed miracles, and seemed so involved in human affairs had seemingly stopped calling. Had he lost our number? Only recently has it occurred to me that maybe God wasn’t the one who stopped paying attention. It was us”
In a world of constantly growing expression and connectivity do we feel we have to control it all, and that we have to do it alone? If this is our point of view I am here to remind us all that it is not the Truth. Rather it is a misunderstanding of the human experience. We have become infinitely engrossed in the minutiae of the world of form in which we have our conscious awareness – we're constantly working more and more, harder and harder, thinking and believing that we have to control it all.
This mental misfire is not something that seems to have been required or needed for people of faith. The players in the Bible, from those who set down the scriptures to those about whom the stories were told, all had the Faith of God. The faith of our society seems to have shifted to the worship of consumerism. We live in the faith that there will be food and clothing available in stores, that the water will run from our faucets and that whatever mess we make will be cleaned up by someone else. We have let go of responsibility and connectedness not only to something beyond ourselves but to our fellow man. We have forgotten about the Unity of the Universe.
I believe, once we return to the understanding that we are not only surrounded by “the unseen,” but a part of it then the world will transform. Religion will truly be irrelevant when we return to the understanding of Oneness.
“Why are some healed through prayer while some others are not?... The answer is NOT that God has responded to some more than others, but that some have responded to God more than others.”
- Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind
Stay open to hearing God through you... for it is that voice in the back of your mind.
Stay open to seeing God as you... for God is what you see reflected in the mirror.
Respond to God, by being of God.
