Thoughts of the Season
“Today I trust the universe to supply my every need.
I share my resources with others, knowing that the law of circulation is
in total and complete operation for all who participate in it.”
Science of Mind, June 21 ,2008
Rev. Herracia Brewer of the Church of Religious Science in Los Angeles
CA shared the following message in the daily reading of June 21, 2008:

‘Very recently my mother shared some vegetables from her garden
with me. She said, ‘The more you share, the more the plants
will bear.’ It dawned on me that this was a true statement
about every aspect of life. The more we share, the more the
universe will bear unto us in personal, spiritual, financial,
professional and loving matters. . . .John D. Rockefeller best
illustrated this in our modern society. His total tithes for
the year of 1855 were nine dollars and fifty cents. By 1934 his
total tithes had grown to five hundred thirty-one million
dollars. He often commented, “God gave me my wealth.” Yes, God
did and Rockefeller practiced the law of
circulation and gave it back in tithes and offerings.” |
As I read Rev. Brewer’s writing for June 21st, I was struck by the
simplicity of this Law of Circulation and of how complicated we can make
it!
The Law is as simple as offering someone half of your apple or saying
thank you to someone who holds the door for you when your hands are
full. It’s as simple as spending a few minutes each day with a child,
looking up at the stars and wondering at the beauty or cleaning out your
closet and recycling clothes you haven’t worn in a year. It’s as simple
as deciding to give the first fruits of your labor, your tithe, back to
the source of all good.
And the foundation of that simplicity is the knowledge that, as David
Owen Ritz says, “creation is an on-going activity of Spirit. God is
continually
expressing itself by making things out of Itself. . . .abundance is not
found in the forms of the visible world. . . rather, true abundance is
found in the movement of Spirit from the unformed to the formed, from
the invisible to the visible. . . .Abundance is inexhaustible because
the flow of Spirit is ceaseless. . . Whatever you may spend, lose or
give away today can be
replaced tomorrow—perhaps with something greater. The activity of God’s
creative process can always be trusted to meet our every need. . . .
Generously share of your abundance and remind yourself frequently that
you cannot outgive God.”
When we know this truth, really know it down where we know how to grow
fingernails, we will find a freedom, a joy of life that is
unparalleled. We will see clearly that which is for our best and
highest good—that which will
uplift us and strengthen us each day. And all that we ‘see’ will flow
freely in our lives. There will be no fear of not enough—for ourselves
and for those who share our world.
When we really know this truth, we will change the world!
In Love and Light,
