Aggressive language, virulent attacks, and the tendency to think of those whose policies we oppose as enemies are not only anti-democratic actions and notions but also profoundly alien to our true selves.
Could it be that something indefinable tugs at our hearts, making us yearn for the truth that Christ Jesus says makes us free and promising comfort and healing to the worried, sorrowing, or sick?
If we are ever tempted to try to avoid an experience we believe might be uncomfortable, cultivating a desire to love, by being willing to listen to Love and feel Love’s presence, turns thought to the Christ and gives us courage beyond our own will.
Many people pray with great humility and a truly listening heart when they’re in trouble or have an important personal decision to make. Would this kind of prayer and politics mix?
As we refuse to leave out Spirit, or Love, and trust the palpable goodness of God, we will see spiritually and practically the activity of divine good going on right where we are.
It is the spiritual, incorporeal understanding of God that reveals the truth about both God and God’s creation—each of us—and our purely spiritual nature.
