Activation Through Gratitude
Gratitude is a powerful spiritual practice that shifts awareness toward the omnipresent of divine good of God. As we give thanks, we are recognizing the good that is already active, expressing and always unfolding. Dr. Ernest Holmes taught that gratitude is a creative force, writing, “Gratitude is the great attitude of the mind which opens the doors to all good.” In this awareness, gratitude becomes a way of aligning with divine activity Itself, a conscious recognition of the good that is always present and always expanding.
The importance of gratitude lies in its ability to center our awareness of divine good in every moment. As we cultivate a thankful heart, we see life’s inherent harmony, evidence of guidance, expressions of love and support. Gratitude grounds us in the present while simultaneously opening us to greater experience, allowing us to participate in the continual unfolding of good. Gratitude is both a recognition and an activation, acknowledging what is already true while expanding our capacity to receive and embody even more of life’s goodness.
