In life, we probably have to fulfill a lot of different roles, and as we grow in life these roles only multiply.
Rather than feeling daunted by all the demands we have to fulfill, though, we can see each demand, each moment, as an opportunity to reflect God.
God is infinite, so the roles that we have in life are actually a reflection of Him.
For instance, I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, practitioner, colleague, friend, etc.
Each one of these is actually a fulfillment of God. We are expressing God’s eternal nature and infinite individuality.
Spirit, Life, Truth, Love, combine as one, — and are the Scriptural names for God. All substance, intelligence, wisdom, being, immortality, cause, and effect belong to God.
Nothing can be demanded of us that God, divine Love, isn’t fulfilling.
Truth, Life, and Love are the only legitimate and eternal demands on man, and they are spiritual lawgivers…
So as you’re going about your day, you don’t need to feel that you are being stretched thin. You are EXPANDING to express more of your spiritual individuality — expressing more of Infinite Spirit (to whom all good is possible).
Genesis i. 31. And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good…
