From time to time to enrich my quiet time, I will add a book to use in my daily practice. I always ask for guidance from Spirit to lead me to the perfect book. This week Spirit led me to The Sermon on the Mount by Emmet Fox. It was sitting right there on my book shelf. I had read parts of it several years ago, but Spirit was asking me to once again pick it up and explore the concepts. It is a fabulous book and totally explores, in great detail, some of the most profound statements made by Jesus. I will probably be sharing a number of things from it, but today I just wanted to share about The Lord's Prayer. There is something about how he explains each verse in the prayer that brought it to life for me. Just the words "Our Father," took on a whole new meaning.
If you ever doubt that you are whole, perfect, and complete, and made in the likeness of God, you only have to remember these two words - "Our Father". These words remind us of our true nature and the true nature of all of our brothers and sisters. These two words remind us as Emmet Fox states, "that we are limbs of one Body. This thought fills my soul and renews my spirit. My prayer is that the Lord's Prayer will feed your soul as well today.
God is our source and he is a part of our everyday lives.If it were not for him we would have no peace.We are made in his image so we are perfect,whole and complete because god is perfect,whole and complete.For those of you who don't have an earthly father you have a father in heaven.
