Today's Reflection ...

Pray be conscious of the fact that our original, or natural, state is that of divine innocence, of purity, of love—in short, of God-given goodness: The essence of life itself; in truth, our very soul.

It is this “inner being,” our immortal self, which at once characterizes our humanity and enables our spiritual relationship with God.

That we are often unaware of, or at times deny, the existence of our true inner self leads to untold sorrow.  That we fail to act and to remedy our sorrow when the solution is ever at hand, is to deny our right to happiness, to peace of mind and to a sense of overall well-being.

Giving thanks to God throughout the day frees us of idle thoughts and takes us to a higher, spiritual, plane.  In time, we come to sense a heretofore unknown inner peace that loosens the bonds of worldly ways.  The new-found love we feel for ourself can now freely be shared with others: We are at one with God.

You know, it’s a shame that we are born with such purity, loose it along our journey of life, and then have to work so hard to get back to it."
