Continuing the consideration of the term “spiritual experience”:
“The acquiring of an immediate and overwhelming God-consciousness,
resulting in a dramatic transformation, though frequent, is by
no means the rule. Most of our spiritual experiences are of the
educational variety, and they develop slowly over a period of
time. Quite often friends of newcomers are aware of the
difference long before they are themselves. They finally
realize that they have undergone a profound alteration in
their reaction to life and that such a change could hardly have
been brought about by themselves alone.” Is my outlook on
life changing for the better?
Meditation For The Day
Look at the world as your Father’s house. Think of all people
you meet as guests in you Father’s house, to be treated with
love and consideration. Look at yourself as a servant in your
father’s house, as a servant of all. Think of no work as beneath
you. Be ever ready to do all you can for others who need your
help. There is gladness in God’s service. There is much
satisfaction in serving the highest that you know. Express your
love for God in service to all who are living with you in your
Father’s house.
Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may serve others out of gratitude to God.
I pray that my work may be a small repayment for His grace
so freely given me.
