Читать книгу Conscious Contact - Ph.D. Ph.D. Anonymous - Страница 20

When many hundreds of people are able to say that the consciousness of the presence of God today is the most important fact of their lives, they present a powerful reason why one should have faith. ∼Twenty-Four Hours a Day

As we go through the day, there are always little things reminding us of God’s presence: a bird landing on a nearby branch to sing; the contented ‘ribbit’ of a happy frog; the smile of a stranger; a delicate flower drawing our attention in an otherwise busy landscape; the smell of a grove of pine trees; the clouds against a bright blue sky drawing us away from the cares of the moment. The details we notice are an exclamation point to the wonders of God’s world. When noticing them, we acknowledge how important a divine presence is for us and we establish a conscious contact. What might we miss had we not discovered sobriety and the importance of spirituality in all that we see and do?
