Remember Mary and Martha? Mary settled in to listen to Jesus, and Martha was hustling and bustling to serve her guests. Jesus tells Martha that one thing is necessary. He is referring to being present to Divinity and Love, right here, right now.
Each of us knows what it is to be distracted and anxious. Things may not be going how we pictured them. We feel out of control. We are ready to complain. We have forgotten about love, and we are going down multiple rabbit holes that lead to fear, resentment, or anger. It seems so much easier to blame someone else than to look at our own consciousness. Ah, but that is where the choice and power lie. Peace returns when we move from the ego mind back to the Christ mind.
There is one thing that is always helpful – love! We may have to stop and take a breath. We may need to remember our true identity. We may need to laugh at ourselves for getting so worked-up and giving away our peace. Whatever the path, we can return to Divine Love, our inner GPS.
As I hear the news of violence and pain around the world, this prayer is helping me remember what I know to be true. Maybe it will draw you to your truth, as well. I do not know the author.
“One Presence of Divine Love now fills every heart and mind. One Power of Divine Life now fills every being and body. One Possibility for peace in ourselves, our families, our communities and our world now fills the earth and all creation.
In the name of God, the Omnipotent Good. It is so!”
Love - right here, right now,
Rev. Patty♥
