A spiritual stillness within gives us an entrance to the prayer of love. Each of us, consciously or unconsciously, prays the prayer of love. In its stillness we feel a deep yearning ... to love, and to be loved. The response to this yearning is found in the Christ-consciousness, Jesus pointed to, “. . . behold, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21).
I understand that to mean, the kingdom of God is the consciousness of God as Love. When we are able to be conscious of God as Love … wherever we are … we’ll see the manifestations of Love everywhere, and a spiritual optimism will take hold of us to help us smile, especially at challenging times.
