God is our soul: He is within and everywhere around us. This certain knowledge of God’s presence is based upon faith made real when we embrace God’s goodness in all that we do. And in the doing, we hunger to come ever closer to God. We want to feel His presence, to all but touch Him.
Through faith we become one with God and, as a result, one with our fellow-man, doing unto others as we would have them do unto us.
We pray and give thanks to God with ever-growing kinship: His light within a suffusion of all-encompassing love and goodness; our spirituality His. No longer is it we, it is God treading the earth through us. His will obtains in all that we think and do. We cannot see God, although we visualize Him as the light within. Our prayers to God have become those of God, our whole being entrusted to His care.

From Louise's email: It is so true, that through faith, our actions, thoughts and prayers become one with God. Keep up the wondrous work!
From Beryl's email: Thank you so much for the word from God. We are so aware of God being in us and around us and giving each of us the opportunity to see where He is at work and to jump in and join Him. That is the exciting part, watching and waiting to see where we can serve.
From Karen's email: Another great reflection! Thanks. I love the thought of "God treading the earth through us". Very well said.
From Carol Ann's email: I agree with everything Garry says, thoughts parallel to what I study in Christian Science, man reflecting all God's qualities, God being the source of all good, power, and every individual is responsible for only one thing - reflecting God.
Email from Maurice: Tomorrow is Pentecost. The Spirit of God fills the whole world, the whole universe. We are swimming in God's love and forgiveness. We are like the little fish swimming in the ocean who asked its mother, "Mom, where is the ocean?" The ocean of God's love is all around us, in us: the Spirit of love, of truth and of life; the Spirit of light, of peace and of joy. Let us swim carefully.
Email from Masaki: There are a lot of Christian holidays that are observed in Switzerland. We had a long weekend for Ascension Day (Thursday and Friday were days off), and this weekend is also a long weekend for Pentecost. In our fast-paced life, it is nice (and necessary) to stop and reflect on the connection of our soul with God. Thank you for the reminder! God Bless.

Email from Meg: Bonnie, tell Garry that I think this is beautiful. I love the last line of the first paragraph: “We want to feel His presence, to all but touch Him.”
I still like to think of God as a “dad” to me….constantly watching me and keeping me safe.
