“Devotion - Work - Wisdom”

If we take a piece of paper that’s 2 inches by 6 inches long it’s not worth much, but it can be worth a lot.

Take for instance if we take a piece of white paper which is 2 inches by almost 6 inches long it’s value is very small, and most people would throw it away. But if that paper has writing on it which is valued by someone it may be important and someone might want to collect it, and thus it’s value goes up. But if that same piece of paper is printed with a presidents face and a dollar value on it, then all of a sudden that piece of paper becomes very valuable. Especially if that paper has a very large denomination printed on it such as a $1000 dollars. Then that piece of paper can be used to buying food or going on trips. Thus the value also goes up for that paper because of our idea that that paper is worth more. It’s all an idea!

In a similar manner if we look at everything in life as being part of that which is omnipotent and omnipresent… then everything should have the same value as God. Take for instance work, sometimes we get in the habit of separating work from the rest of our life and kind of degrading work because we don’t like what we do. But the truth of the situation is that God is part of everything in this reality, thus it’s important to value work in a similar manner. Be it a tree, a coffee table, our spouse, our children, our work, our play time, our car, or anything else it’s all important. Thus we have great fidelity towards everything in creation which is all part of Great Spirit. Thus to honor God in every aspect of our life, be it our work, our play time, when we are doing our prayers, or caring for our family… it’s all important.

To do everything with the great spirit of love in mind is vital. To fill our minds with love, to fill every action with love, and to fill every second of our lives with love is the most important aspect of worship. Thus we gain great wisdom by seeing that which is invisible in all things and honoring omnipotence all day long. And we become connected to that which dwells in all forms, thus a great feeling of respect grows within and everything changes.

Many Blessings to Everyone!
