About This Quote

The essence of the centered life is attention to God in all we think, say and do. It is the growing realization of His presence in our most down-to-earth living and in our day-to-day actions. It is the awareness of God’s presence and power, and the realization that everything we do is for His glory and to express that awareness. We see that God is at work in everything we do.
