Another path to God

I was recently reading some Baha'i writings, and came across a few that have been inspiring me.

Here is one of them

The man who makes a piece of notepaper to the best of his ability, conscientiously, concentrating all his forces on perfecting it, is giving praise to God. Briefly, all effort and exertion put forth by man from the fullness of his heart is worship, if it is prompted by the highest motives and the will to do service to humanity. This is worship: to serve mankind and to minister to the needs of the people. Service is prayer. A physician ministering to the sick, gently, tenderly, free from prejudice and believing in the solidarity of the human race, he is giving praise

Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 189

Of late, there have been many times that I have questioned my relationship with God. I have really been becoming aware of my inadequacy in my devotion.

Having been a Baha'i for many years, I have considered work to be a form of worship since nearly as early as I have begun to work in various professions. Reading this, however, has renewed my endeavor.

I see this as a way of rebuilding my relationship with God.

Hopefully I will be able to expand my relationship from this point outward to other areas of my life that I feel have been lacking.
