One is on the Spiritual Basis or he is not, for there is no half-way house in this.
You are on the Spiritual Basis:
If you definitely give all power to God, in the most literal, practical, and matter-of-fact sense of the phrase.
If you really believe that prayer can do anything.
If you really believe that your happiness and well-being are vitally important in the eyes of God.
If you realize whatever ideas and beliefs you accept must be expressed in your surroundings, and in all your relationships and activities.
If you try to see the Presence of God everywhere.
If, in short, you understand that you are in a mental universe, that things are thoughts, and that one’s life history is fundamentally the expression of his belief about God.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you (James 4:8)
If we live on the spiritual basis, we walk with God on life’s path directed by the creator of the universe. We walk in prayer with certainty, clarity, strength, communion, safety, wellness, hope and confidence. Brothers and sisters, except that we live on the spiritual basis, we wander lost, confused, sick, hurt, alone in danger and in trouble. So, let us recommit today that we will live, think, act and feel as spiritual creatures in communion with a loving God who cares about us. There now, isn’t that better.
In spirit,
Z gardener
