When you think of God as Soul
Soul insists that we act with the openhanded, openhearted generosity and kindness that only God can provide.
I’ve been thinking about a children’s book called God’s Gifts by Joan Emily Beringer that explains what happens when we consider the nature of God. There’s something about the simplicity and friendly homeliness of the format that makes it easy to see how accessible spiritual sense is and what a difference it makes in our lives.
The writer goes through the terms used in the definition of God in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy (see p. 587), and describes some of the everyday ways in which we can recognize the character and nature of God all around us. God is Life, which sends healing thoughts; God is Truth, which inspires honesty; God is Love, which helps us remember to be patient and kind.
