A man sits in his office, slouched in his chair and plagued with discontent. He pauses for a moment of presence and the clouds of incessant thought disappear. Just then, the following words enter his mind: “What I need right now is a good dose of God! I need some medicine for my soul.”
He ponders this statement for a few minutes and then begins to write what a good Dose of God means to him. As he states:
Thankfully, one mustn’t travel far for a good Dose of God. In fact, one mustn’t travel at all. There’s no need to drive to the pharmacy or walk to the medicine cabinet. A good Dose of God can be had anytime, anywhere. You are constantly in the presence of this medicine. Not a moment passes that it’s not at your disposal.
God’s medicine is in your body, in your thoughts, in your voice, in the voice of another, in the food you eat, in the books you read, in the songs you hear, in the animals you see, in the trees you pass, in the games you play, in every experience in which you engage...it is everywhere, all the time. When you are fully present, free of all distractions…in everything you see, you will see it; in everything you hear, you will hear it; in everything you feel, you will feel it.
To administer it, you simply must open your soul and let it in. Upon entrance to your soul, the medicine takes immediate action. Your perceptions change. You witness the grace, purpose, and will of God in everything. You see beauty in that which was before seen as ugly; you hear the voices of angels in that which was previously heard as disruptive noise; you feel the comfort of the Lord in that which was formerly felt as pain.
You perceive everything for what it truly is and see the world without judgment. You allow yourself to realize the divine connections in all that exists and open yourself to acquire spiritual insights from each of your experiences. You begin to realize that the lessons you learn in one experience are transferable to many, if not all, other experiences in life.
Peace, comfort, and healing are delivered directly to your soul.
Suddenly, it occurs to him: Dose of God can be simplified to the acronym “DoG”. He then recalls the adage stating, “A good dog is a man’s best friend,” and soon realizes an entirely new meaning to the truth of this statement. A good DoG is a best friend to more than just the pet lover. When used in the context of a “Dose Of God”, a good DoG is a best friend to everyone.
