A Powerful Secret Hidden in Plain Sight

Description

There is a beautiful secret hidden in plain sight: spiritual growth deepens as the work within us becomes love in action. Repentance matters. So does what we do next. Jesus walks with us, inviting us to carry what we learn into our marriages, our parenting, our work, and the communities we serve. These everyday encounters are holy ground. In the New Church tradition, we call this “a Monday morning faith,” where living sincerely, justly, and faithfully gives our beliefs a useful purpose. Drawing on Emanuel Swedenborg’s Divine Providence, we explore how spiritual teachings guide our steps and how walking that path teaches us in return. Inner change and outward service nourish each other. Friends, there is so much room for God’s love to grow when we bring compassion and integrity into the ordinary moments of our lives. Let’s begin today by practicing a little mercy.
