"To know the truth as so many words, quotations, passages, or theories is one thing; but it is an entirely different thing when through meditation, the Word takes root in our consciousness and comes forth as spiritual fruitage. We are told that the fruits of the Spirit are 'love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.' It is really true that when the Spirit has been touched or when It has touched us, then the fruitage comes forth in the form of harmony, wholeness, completeness and perfection." ~ The Art of Meditation by Joel S. Goldsmith ~
In your own moment be still and know the one Almighty God for yourself, by whatever name you call God. In doing so, all areas of your life can be positively affected; according to your belief. In times of seeming need, one will not have to run to get a crystal, or oils, or any other material symbols. Instead we will release doubt and partake in the consciousness to "Be still and know that I am God" right here "within". Nobody can take that gift away from us but it must be practiced so that we renew our strength and gain confidence in It. It is our birthright; therefore we are hard-wired at origin to be still and know God within and as we do the fruits and activity of Spirit show forth.
Blissful Blessings,
In the Living Spirit,
