The principles Christ taught are applicable to every activity of life. Loving our neighbor as ourselves begins with the simple, little things, acts of kindness done without seeking credit or acclaim.
God’s universal laws are available to all who will heed them. Discover them! Love them! Apply them in your personal life and affairs and you will progress! By living in accordance with natural law, we can gradually become better people and be of greater service to humankind.
To live harmoniously with others requires that we learn to overcome problems these relationships present. They also give us opportunities to observe and profit from the experiences of others as well as from our own. In time we come to see that it is the rehearsing over and over of our understanding of virtue and service that is our purpose.
To come to the point of being able to keep negative thoughts to ourselves with ever increasing frequency is a tremendous step forward. As this control is maintained, we gradually stop reacting negatively to others until little or no effort is required.
