CALLED TO PRAY?
Several years ago I was in the process of moving from one city to another. One day as I was packing, it came to me to pray about honest. I stopped what I was doing and took some time to see more clearly that each one of us is actually God's likeness, and so is naturally honest. Feeling at peace, I called someone to do a small but important job to get my house ready for sale.
A second time the thought came to pray about honesty. I realized that God is Truth, and because God is everywhere, Truth is always present, always acting.
Later on I was again impelled to pray. I stopped what I was doing and asked God what He wanted to tell me. I had a quiet feeling that honesty is not a personal virtue belonging to some and not to others. All people can express integrity because it's their real nature to do so. Each of us is actually complete, having all the good God gives us. So we don't really need or want anything belonging to anyone else. God creates and maintains each of His sons and daughters satisfied and whole.
