It's easier to love something you can touch and see, than it is to love something invisible, like Spirit.
Why not begin where you are, loving what you can, until your love leads you to a solid conviction that back of everything is an invisible Intelligence.
Devotion is the practice of loving the Infinite through whatever actions the devotee is engaged in. It is in the doing that we meet the Divine, so to speak, when we look through the action and appearances, to the Power that produces all.
Science of Mind teaches us that we are in an endless process of thinking and what we dwell upon must in some way become a form. This is why we used to often say that thoughts are things. In reality, thoughts are not things; they are the origin of things, situations, and events. What does your mind dwell on regularly? Do you think about the worst- or best-case scenario for your life and the lives of your loved ones? What about for our country, or our world? Where do you let your thoughts hang out?
Imagine if you were to take time daily to let your thoughts dwell on the beauty and magnificence of the Living Spirit Almighty. That practice is called devotion and must produce beneficial results. You are a spirit with a definite presence and a creative mind. As such, you are free-flowing in your thoughts, you are creative, and you can use your mind to dwell on whatever you want. I invite you to devote yourself this month to the contemplation of the Living Spirit which appears in you as a unique, kind, loving spirit.
Warm regards,
