DIVINE COMPENSATION
Meaning, Money and Miracles
During the month of APRIL Reverend
Glenda and Reverend Judy will help us explore the idea that in spirit there is never a lack of possibility.
They will invite us to rethink issues about why we continue to have doubts even under the best of circumstances and why we find it easy to believe in scarcity rather than abundance.
The Revs will refer to Marianne Williamson's book, The Law of Divine Compensation, as a resource for April talks.
Marianne Williamson says: "God has given you your identity, and that cannot be taken away.
God has imbued you with infinite potential, and that cannot be taken away.
God has provided you with the opportunity to change your thinking in an instant, and that cannot be taken away.
God has given you the capacity to love, and that cannot be taken away.
God has entrusted you with the power to live in the light of His abundance in any moment, and that cannot be taken away."
Join us each week as we are challenged to believe that miracles do happen and what is lacking can become abundant. All it takes is a shift in perspective and a faith in positive outcomes.
This talk series is empowering and positive. It is a perfect remedy for 'I-can't-itis' and the tendency to 'awfulize' life. Please join us.
Common Ground is the place for anyone who is spiritually independent and open to spirituality without borders. We are an open accepting spiritual community where everyone is welcome.
