This wonderful statement by Mrs. Eddy lent focus to a friend’s day. With permission, I share this priceless, humble piece.
“Today my soul can only sing and soar. An increasing sense of God’s love, omnipresence and omnipotence enfolds me. Each day I know Him nearer, love Him more, and humbly pray to serve Him better.” (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p.174)
Here is my intention:
*Today I will only sing and soar. (I will put off the sackcloth of self-pity and develop my father’s philosophy of, “I’ve never been happier or better” declaration.)
*Today I will increase my sense of God’s love by sharing kindness and gentleness with all I meet.
*Today I will increase my acknowledgment of God’s omnipresence by seeing only the presence of good. (1:10 Rule-For every one look at error I will take 10 looks at Truth).
*Today I will refute every foe with the omnipotent power of God’s Word!
*Today I will acknowledge that I am enfolded in God’s Love…and that’s all I need!
-*Today I will be grateful that I feel nearer to God because I have moved my thought nearer to Him.
*Today I humbly pray to serve Him with all my heart and soul.
