Do You Work For A Living? “Pay Forward” # 276

 

I greet The Indwelling Calling.

Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – “Do You Work For A Living?  It is a mistake to work for a living.  To work this way is to be a slave under dominion to the laws of slavery.  How can you gain a life? Life is!  You cannot pay for it.  You have no price to give in exchange for life, for your breath and your being.  You are here under the blessing of God to live a life of wholesome, loving kindness, of success and good will towards each other and the bringing out of your nature, the divine self.  God lives you every moment.  If you are conscious that God is your very life and being you will not work to express it in terms of mortal consciousness, in dollars and cents and salary.  You will no longer serve the old world conception of prosperity.  What you do you will do with your might in the service of Principle, like Brother Lawrence – he did not work for a living, he worked to express God by living in such an attractive way as to draw other men to the Divine Life.  The kitchen of that monastery where he cooked was more magnetic than any other part of the whole concern.  He was rich towards God and man, not like an ox driven by the duties demanded of him.  He was a man serving a great Principle, and he lived in security” H.H. Rix, The Rich Mentality, 1916.  Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
