An Open Door
by Jeremy Palmer
I received an email thanking me for a recent contribution to the forum, and all I could reply was, “I think it is great that not only does God show us what we need individually, but also has given us this church so we can share and learn from each other. What a blessing for all!”
It is plain to see if you look at my life before I came here that I didn’t know much about Truth or Love. It was only through great suffering that the door opened so I could even begin to understand it. Now that this door is open, I will do all I can to keep it from shutting, and it is easy to tell on each Wednesday night that we all feel the same way.
The very fact that we have the website and the forum and the Roundtable, Bible Study, services, Unity Watches, practitioner support and everything else brings many blessings. But they are also a call to action for each of us, that we all do the work so they remain a blessing. All of this didn’t come without demonstration, and it will not remain without constant demonstration from each of us. It doesn’t fall to some hierarchy, it falls upon all of us to listen with spiritual sense and act as He directs us every single day!
To me that is absolutely wonderful, because it is undeniable proof we all are useful and important to God. I am so grateful that God has brought all of us this Truth and made it accessible and usable and sharable, so all may benefit. There are many out there right now waiting for their door to open, and the work we do just might be what brings that about. For someone such as me, who so recently felt “locked out,” that is the most wonderful work that I could imagine doing, and I pray every day that I never lose the gratitude and joy I have in working for God.
