“Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].” (I Corinthians 13: 7, Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)

The true sense of Love is pure, strong, and unconditional. This divine Love comes straight from God, so it knows no limits or fears or selfish intentions. It is the Love that is present with us at all times and that we are able to both receive and express.

When we feel like we can’t hold up or like things are too challenging for us, we can always turn to divine Love for our refuge. This spiritual affection keeps us safe and is invincible; whereas its opposite—a belief in anger, fear, hatred, resentment—makes us feel weak and unsteady, alone, and in doubt. Divine Love vanquishes anything that would attack its government. Love easily and naturally dispels grief and shame with its enduring goodness and tender mercy.

Love doesn’t give up. It doesn’t pass judgment. Love expects the best and therefore it gets it! This Love that is God is our true nature. It thrives in giving and sharing. It isn’t a personal, conditional compassion. It is the infinite embrace of God, knowing no exceptions and being All-in-all, to all, always.

This divine Love is not elusive nor is it found only in or for special selected persons. It is the very active presence and power that is readily at hand—fadeless, no matter what; enduring all human circumstances with certainty and power; and coming to each of us right where we are with God’s powerful, healing, saving, and renewing grace.

“Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you.” (Galatians 5: 1, Message Bible)

The Christ-Truth has released us. The consciousness of our true birthright brought to light has opened the door to freedom—full and enduring!

We can accept this Truth of our own identity as children of God, at one with Life and Love, and live in accord with this beautiful reality. We can get out of the cage of limits and the tomb of fear and come out into the bright and new day, and stay among the liberated. Slavery to the senses, to opinion, to fear is not legitimate. No matter what lies and accusations by mortals or by matter may try to tempt you to get back into those shackles, that burdened state of being, there is truly no law of God that supports such false imprisonment.

Keep in thought and claim with vigor and persistence the law of Life that is reliably yours. Christ’s message of your own right to liberty is not conditional nor does it make exceptions. We can turn away from our rights and refuse to live our freedom, or we can remember who we are and the very nature of our Creator.

Divine Life has no limits. You are the very expression of that Life. Divine Love knows no burdened being and you are the very object and evidence of that Love.

Take your stand! The Almighty is behind you. You are free, always have been, and you can live that freedom now!

“Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take.” (Joshua 1:9, Message Bible)

God’s command is not negotiable. His demand is imperative and certain and exactly right. It also comes with all the power and protection and resources needed to carry it out effectively and lovingly.

Every step you take, God—your God—is with you. As you walk forward in living your Truth, your inspiration, the life and work you have been led to do, you are doing it all with God’s grace, His intelligence, His protection, and His power. You are not carrying a purpose on your little shoulders. You are being sent forth as the emissary, the qualified representative of all of God’s qualities and His unchallenged intention, to express goodness, purpose, joy, in a way that is impactful, satisfying, and just right not only for you, but for all.

So claim that strength. Own that courage. Dismiss the temptation to be timid or to give in to discouragement. You walk with God. The call to good within you comes from God Almighty. He made you to bear witness to Him in a way that is uniquely you and, because of this, stunningly powerful. And God—divine Truth, Life, and Love—is with you every step of the way, today and every day.

Daily Inspiration, July 21st

“You have a saying, ‘Four more months and then the harvest.’ But I tell you, take a good look at the fields; the crops are now ripe and ready to be harvested!” (John 4: 35, Good News Translation)

Human observation with its sense testimony, doubts, and analysis of things, tends to be in waiting mode. We put conditions on accepting what is rightfully ours, living fully, with wholeness, well-being, and with the fruitfulness that multiplies so that we can share it with the world.

Are you pushing your joy, your health, your satisfaction into the future? Are you, perhaps, waiting on people or circumstances to line up in a perfect way before you begin reaping the good that is yours to experience? Or are you, maybe, hiding your light or your awareness of the healing Truth from others because you believe you don’t have enough understanding or ability to share? Are you too focused inward to realize the world is waiting to feast on the very crop that God has been cultivating in you?

Take a good look at your fields! They are ready now! God didn’t form an incomplete idea or ask us to wait for later or for the after-life, so-called, to enjoy and share His blessings. There’s nothing wrong with patience, but take a conscious pause to let your spiritual senses tell you what’s really going on. Am I waiting to share and express and claim goodness because I am looking to the senses and to human judgment for my information? Am I hiding my light out of fear I will fail?

Or, on the other hand, am I hearing the voice of God within me and seeing His vistas of blessings before me, proclaiming His readiness to be harvested, enjoyed, shared—not four months or four days in the future, but right here, right now!

“You know the Lord is God! He created us, and we belong to him; we are his people, the sheep in his pasture.” (Psalms 100:3, Contemporary English Version)

You don’t belong to fate, chance, or circumstance. You don’t belong to another person or to your job or to your physicality or personality. You don’t belong to an age or a race or a classification. You belong to God!

And by belonging to God, you belong to all that is good and right and loving. You are the very child and beloved of Life itself, and the beneficiary of its true blessings. You are a child of limitlessness, of freedom, of fearlessness. You are the offspring of Soul’s infinite possibilities and are guided and cared for by infinite Wisdom and pure Love.

We are God’s people. We are His sheep. This doesn’t mean we are wandering aimlessly or that we simply follow like robots. It means that we are playful ideas in a pasture that is abundant in all that sufficiently feeds us, that keeps us lively and energetic, and which is resplendent in delights to occupy as well as teach us as we frolic.

And each of God’s sheep is equally precious to Him. He sees each one of us for who we truly are and why we are uniquely wonderful and necessary and lovable. We belong to God. He is the Lord—our faithful Leader, the keeper of our house and lands, and the tender guardian of our satisfying and satisfied lives.

“The Eternal will guard you from all harm, he will preserve your life; he will protect you as you come and go, now and for evermore.” (Psalms 121: 7-8, Moffatt Translation)

You are safe here and now. You are safe over there and in your tomorrow. There isn’t a place you can go or a thing you can do without God’s presence and protection. This is a promise that doesn’t get withdrawn and is unconditional.

Why? Because God cannot fail to be All. He is always going to be where you are and He is always going to be powerful Love right there. He is the Eternal. God is ahead of you, behind you, and right with you now and always. He is Life and you reside safely in that Life and in His embracing, sustaining Love.

We don’t need human bravery to get by. We have divine courage to lean upon. We are guarded from harm in each and every day because we are precious to God and because our comings and goings—all that we are and all that we do—are the expression of His Life. They are God’s qualities made known, so nothing is done without His very nature and substance behind it and within it.

Now and forevermore, walk forward with peace. You are always with God, with good. You can leave a job, your home, a relationship, but you will never be separate from the Eternal Life which is perfect, preserving, protecting, powerful Love.

“There is but one creator and one creation. This creation consists of the unfolding of spiritual ideas and their identities, which are embraced in the infinite Mind and forever reflected.” (Science and Health, page 502-503)

God’s creation is a boundless universe of brilliant ideas—individual and unique and eternal. Each one of us is a specific thought, purposefully conceived by God. Our lives express the creativity which is God’s eternal abundance. So, the divine Life unfolds new opportunities, adventures, joys, growth, every new day and each new year of our experience.

This unfoldment is not new creation. It is not subject to chance and circumstance or to the ingenuity or ignorance of men. God made all and made it good. He created the beautiful individual identity that you are and with it the beautiful life that you are worthy to live. This Life isn’t your creation. It is already done. Its completeness is not some fate you must live with, but a powerful opportunity to surrender to abundance, perfection, rightness, progress, peace, happiness.

For our Father-Mother already knows the outcome of things. He knows that what He made and saw to be perfect, forever remains this way. What this leaves us with is the great joy and necessity of seeing a bit more of that fullness each day, prepared especially for us.

Walk forward expectantly into each day as more of God’s ideal for your brilliant life is revealed—as fears and doubts and limits are lifted to show what has already been there: creation made by God and made to reflect His glory through you.

And, blessedly, each of God’s ideas is safe in its perfect identity. We are embraced, hugged close and loved, within the thought of God, within Love’s Life and Life’s Love.

Daily Inspiration, June 28th

“Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men,” (Colossians 3: 23, Amplified Bible)

We all seem to have so much to do! The tasks seem endless and either challenging or monotonous. It is easy to lose sight of the soul’s purpose and with that, to lose steam and power and inspiration. When we work from the outside and not from the inside, we often feel depleted or unsatisfied or unmotivated.

So listen to this message and remember that your Soul is not only where you find focus, it is where you discover or rediscover your joy. Whatever you do, put your heart into it. Remind yourself that your work is done for good, for Love, for Life, to demonstrate the qualities of God on earth. God gave us a purpose, and when we remind ourselves of that, it buoys us to do better and to do it with more willingness, enthusiasm, and success!

When we act to impress people with what we do or to show up another, we may get the job done, but we lose the true satisfaction that comes of utilizing our own special gifts in our own unique way and declaring God’s presence in the process.

When we appreciate and glorify what God made—you and your good work—we are celebrating and honoring Him. We are being true to ourselves as well. In doing so, we not only show forth God’s presence, we discover and feel our best as well.

Our Soul is full of light and inspiration, and when we look to it—to that God connection within us—we shine! And our work is naturally freer, more productive, and we and the world are blessed by it.
