To the degree that we bring our consciousness into conformity with the Mind that Christ Jesus claimed as his own, we repudiate mortal thoughts and beliefs and their outward effects, and thereby experience harmonious and healthful being.
In learning God’s statutes, we find how liberating Love’s law is, upholding our joy, health, happiness, and purpose and outlawing whatever would hide these blessings.
Prayer, with its direct impact on consciousness, changes it to higher, more spiritual views. And as this change occurs in thought, we can reasonably expect to see less violence and more humanity, affection, compassion, and healing appear.
Even if internal temptation or external peer pressure leads us to believe the opposite, a clean heart and a right spirit are native to us as God’s offspring.
Your “basket of beautiful peaches” may be hours, even days, of cherishing our own or another’s relationship to God, since our prayers for ourselves, our families, and the world are so needed.
