Gratitude Is Powerful

KATHERINE JANE NORTHRIDGE

All inharmony in human experience stems from the belief that we lack something: health, love, companionship, beauty, purity, understanding, security, self-control, integrity, compassion. The list is long. But can these really be absent?

To heal inharmony, in whatever guise it claims to appear, we must destroy this belief of lack, of not having all we need. And a good way to open thought to accept a healing conclusion is to stop brooding about what we think we don't have and to start being grateful for what we do have. We can be grateful for what we spiritually are.

As we fill our consciousness with what is spiritually true—clearly see and know ourselves as God's perfect ideas, reflections of Life, Love, Mind—we can be grateful for the absolute fact that in reality we lack nothing. All good is ours, right now, by virtue of our at-one-ment with God. No false belief of lack can maintain a hold on us when our thought is filled with gratitude for this relationship.
