Strength
Through spiritual connectedness, I find my strength.
Knowing
that I am a member of the human family and belong to a greater
community of faith awakens my inner sense of spiritual strength and
power.
James Dillet Freeman, former director of the Silent Unity prayer ministry, once described redwood trees as the perfect metaphor for this shared spiritual strength. “You know, you’ll never see a redwood standing alone,” he said. “It takes several of them to intertwine those shallow roots and remain standing. Redwoods are like us, I suppose. They find their strength in community.”
My spiritual roots are intertwined with all of humanity. I am strengthened by my shared interconnectedness in God.
