Nothing harmful in God's creation

Bill Fleming

Many years ago, while attending youth camp, I was attacked by a dog as I ran along the seafront in a town several miles from the campsite. At first I felt a cold sensation on my leg as I came to an abrupt stop. When I turned around to see what had happened, there was this dog growling at me.

Several people, including a police officer who had seen the incident, rushed to my aid. Seeing the wound on my leg, they became concerned, and I was advised by the policeman to seek medical attention immediately.

During those initial moments of high tension and panic, I attempted to turn my thought away from the problem to God. I began to pray to understand that nothing in God's kingdom is harmful and that I was part of God's creation and was constantly within divine Love's embrace. I saw I could use this incident as an opportunity to express more effectively my true nature as the image of God.
