Divine First

Periodically, I reread certain books that have had a radical effect on my thinking. When I feel a need to be reminded of who I am, one author who consistently comes to mind is Catherine Ponder. She was known as the lady Norman Vincent Peale many years ago. Now elderly, she recently wrote her memoirs. They’re sweet.

I came across this sentence in my reading today, and I wanted to share it with you.

Remember—you were DIVINE before you were human.

Think on this. You were divine before you were human.

It takes some effort to remember this every day in every interaction.

You were divine before you were human.

So was the other person!

That realization, that remembrance might go a long way toward peace on our planet.
