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. "As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man" (Proverbs 27:19).
