Don’t pray or meditate as a duty. Realize that prayer is a visit with God and should be joyous.
Neither must you pursue your secular activities as necessary duties to be gotten over, that you may return to your prayer. In the light of Truth, there are no secular activities.
You must have regular recreation or you will become stale. Recreation, also, is to be enjoyed – as an expression of God – and not as a task to prepare yourself to pray better. An understanding joy in living is the highest prayer of all.
…in thy presence is fullness of joy… (Psalm 16:11).
It is God’s desire that we live in joy, peace and hope each day. It is right, good and a joyful thing to pray in celebration and realization of God’s desires for us and God’s gifts to us. When we manifest God’s desire for our joy, we are giving the strongest witness to our faith. It is the beacon of light which we can not hide. It will enlighten our gardens and those of all we touch. So smile, enjoy and thank God for this day and for our gardens.
Joy to the world,
Stan
