A Message from Rev. Nicole (as shared in our March newsletter)

“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”                                                 - Kahlil Gibran

           

There are rare moments in life when the spiritual fog suddenly clears, and the vision you have struggled to see for so long comes into clear focus. I was blessed to experience such clarity of vision and focus when I first read our March book of the month, Go-Givers Sell More.

Like me, many members of our congregation affirm God’s promise for prosperity in their personal business affairs. As a body, we also hold a vision of financial abundance for our spiritual center. We stop many times during our spiritual walk to wonder where our manifestation of abundance may be hiding, and how it cleverly manages to be so evasive. It is during these moments that we benefit from being reminded that God has established an orderly universe that is constantly conspiring to deliver our highest good. When it appears that our good cannot be found, it is then that we must look to realign ourselves with God’s unchanging universal laws.

 Our book of the month uses a secular approach to reiterate the well-known universal law of giving and receiving. It gently reminds us that our income and our potential in business and sales is a direct reflection of the level of spiritual impact we are making in the world. It challenges us to shift our immediate attention away from the money we wish to attract, by focusing on the number of people whose lives we can positively impact through the giving of our spiritual gifts.  Each one of us has a unique area in which we can add value to the lives of others. By giving freely of ourselves, adding value and increasing our positive impact on others, we activate the spiritual laws that govern our measure of abundance. Understanding and embracing this truth frees us from the doom and gloom financial statistics of the day and ushers us into a spiritual economy that operates in a stream of constant flow.

It is rare that I implore the congregation as a whole to read a book selection. However, I truly feel that taking the teachings of this book into meditation and prayer may offer you the same clarity of vision that I received from reading it. Spirit has shown me a new way to approach the establishment of my learning center, and I pray that you will be equally inspired in your area of business.

Please join us each Sunday this month as our four speakers share inspired teachings on the spiritual law of giving and receiving. We look forward to bearing witness to your spiritual awakening!
