Providential Guideposts ... p. 45



ACKNOWLEDGING  
OUR  OWN  DIVINE  GOODNESS
It is no secret that we have within us untold power to do Good. It is power inborn, arising from the fact that God lives in us and we in Him. How we go about accessing this divinely spiritual power is less well known.

We begin by going within to achieve purity of thought, whereby we allow the mind to reach a state of spiritual transcendence: This by way of humble prayer, mindful meditation or earnest contemplation, all the while being in relationship with God.

Thus do we awaken God within, and thus do we enliven our potential for Goodness. Thoughts alone, however—no matter how endearing—are in vain without our acting on them.

Upon giving freely of ourself to others, ever mindful of God’s Love, we come to know this latent God-given power, while at once acknowledging our own divine Goodness.
