Good Morning Garden

Perhaps the second best prayer ever written is the Scotsman’s Prayer – “Lord give us a good conceit of ourselves.” You cannot have too much respect for yourself. You cannot have too much confidence in yourself. You cannot claim too much for yourself. But remember that you must realize these things as being the expression of God in you and not independent qualities of your own. You must also accept them as being true for every other human being.

Nothing but failure can come of self-depreciation. Of course, it is true that some people can get the malady called “swelled head” – and this ends in a fall – but the realization of one’s divine selfhood never gives swelled head. It gives wisdom, balance, poise, and steady progress. Think, talk, live your divine, glorious selfhood, and it will demonstrate itself in your life.

I have said, Ye are Gods; and all of you are children of the most High (Psalm 82:6).

How many of us truly believe what is written above? Do we really think that we are expressions of God’s consciousness in the physical world? Are we really the temples of God’s presence here in the physical realm? When accept the answer to these questions, we will then have true self-respect and we will then feel true value and meaning in our lives.

As mere animals feeding our cravings and seeking our own comfort, we are but the sum all we have consumed and discarded. As the living breathing manifestation of God’s will in the physical realm, we are infinitely valuable, good and worthy.

Being the temple,
