Daily Inspiration, February 16th

“Be cheerful. Keep things in good repair. Keep your spirits up. Think in harmony. Be agreeable. Do all that, and the God of love and peace will be with you for sure.” (II Corinthians 13: 11, the Message Bible)

What a sweet and powerful to-do list! If we look to these wise suggestions for our daily lives, we will find ourselves in a happy place. We will become aware of the presence of love and peace, of God with us.

Being cheerful isn’t always easy, but I know that whenever I can turn from self-pity to humor or from a dreary outlook to a more hopeful approach, I feel better. I am open to grace and inspiration and healing. We can be good-humored without being false about it. We can keep our spirits up by remembering that God is governing and that there is always much for which to be grateful and expectant.

Keeping things in good repair can mean many things. I think of it not only as making sure our homes and our possessions are orderly and functional, but also that we keep good relations with others, smooth over what we can, forgive, keep peace. It also means a self-awareness that looks for healing within, a clearing away of the old, the broken sense of ourselves, and discovering who we really are—innocent, undamaged, with unlimited potential for good.

Think in harmony. This isn’t about agreeing with ever human opinion. What it is about is remembering God’s Oneness, that we are all a part of one creation, with God, Love, as Cause. It is looking consciously for common ground and listening to others and to God’s unifying word, rather than focusing on differences.

These steps include so much more than what is shared here, and yet they also are simple, natural to us, and a way to heaven—knowing God’s love and peace for us right here on earth.

Daily Inspiration, February 14th

Posted on February 14, 2017 by LauraMoliter

“Human affection is not poured forth vainly, even though it meet no return. Love enriches the nature, enlarging, purifying, and elevating it.”  (Science and Health, page 57)

The love that we feel in our hearts and share in our lives, is never in vain. It may seem that at times we give this rich affection naturally and yet it is not acknowledged, not humanly returned. We may feel that our love is even spurned or trod upon by another.

But this perception of things doesn’t change the fact of Love. Love in action, with a pure motive behind it, is always a great thing. It does have an impact on others, whether or not that comes to us clearly in the way that we expect. Love is God’s nature moving within us and expressed by us. And God is power, salvation, goodness, peace.

As we love, without focusing on need (it’s kind of hard to do, isn’t it?), we can find that sweet awareness of Love itself and rest in it, feeling its presence, and relishing the fact that Love simply is and that we have it, or we could not feel it and express it. This Love—acknowledged, utilized, explored, realized—is transformative. It continues, by its use, to enrich us, enlarge our reach, and give us purer ideals and a higher perspective.

True Love is going on infinitely and right now, and you express it and are a recipient of it. God’s Love sees you, knows you, adores you, and gives you plenty of that Love to share freely as well!

Happy Valentine’s Day, you beloved lovers!

Daily Inspiration, February 9th

Posted on February 9, 2017 by LauraMoliter

“Individuals are consistent who, watching and praying, can ‘run, and not be weary;…walk, and not faint,’ who gain good rapidly and hold their position, or attain slowly and yield not to discouragement.” (Science and Health, page 254)

Our consistency and growth in good does not follow some formula or timeline of perfect human steps and behavior. We shouldn’t be judging our spiritual understanding or our success in life based on what others may appear to be doing or saying. Our demonstration of the active presence of God is uniquely ours, and that is what makes it so right and honest and powerful.

Our progress is not based on speed. In fact, we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves—ahead of the practical and right instruction that brings us true and lasting light. We are meant to appreciate the journey and enjoy thoroughly each of its guideposts and inspirations, the angels of each new day and each new phase of discovery.

Don’t be discouraged. At times, you may be called to really go, go, go on your walk in Truth. You may feel led to climb quickly and with joy to the top, singing all the way. At other times, you may need to slow down, smell the roses, ponder their beauty, wonder about their thorns, and get closer to God in each quiet moment. This slow walk isn’t ignorance or laziness, if it is impelled by the consistency of a right desire to know God better, and ourselves as His beloved children and heirs of His precious promises.

Enjoy your customized instruction. It is preciously yours and so it is just right!

Daily Inspiration, February 7th

Posted on February 7, 2017 by LauraMoliter

“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4: 31-32, New International Version)

We were not made to be full of hate and anger. God did not make us to fight with one another and be unkind. Our loving Father-Mother gave us the Christ—a message of Love and oneness and goodness—because this Truth will set us free.

Answer gratefully this call to compassion and forgiveness. It is the most healthy and natural way to be. We not only honor God when we express His love in our lives, we also settle into our own well-being. God formed us out of His Love and this Love doesn’t hold on to bitterness or thrive on battle and argument. We are most at peace and true to ourselves when we yield to the Lover within us.

Of course, it isn’t always easy to see past others’ misdeeds or accusations. But to forgive is not merely some nice ideal. It is our own salvation, prepared for us. And this compassion, this desire to forgive ignorance (for evil and hate is always truly ignorance, isn’t it?), comes from within our own hearts. It is the Christ-light, showing us who we truly are—the sons and daughters of infinite Love, living in accord with our true nature, making peace, and feeling peaceful ourselves.

Daily Inspiration, February 2nd

Posted on February 2, 2017 by LauraMoliter

“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11: 25, New International Version)

Look to your own abundance. You have the capacity for genuine and joyous generosity. Your gifts are overflowing. You have God’s qualities resonating within you, always at the ready to be expressed. These are Love’s own attributes, and you have been given them freely, naturally, and permanently.

Draw on your riches and give with enthusiasm! Use that Love that God has given you to comfort, ease, and uplift others. Refresh the world with your own natural radiance and your sincere desire to be a light wherever darkness appears, and a cleansing, renewing spirit to whatever seems burdened and troubled.

This generosity won’t deplete you nor will it leave you without the tender mercy and compassionate care you may need yourself. Be willing to give and willing to receive. Be generous with your trust that others can help and refresh you as well.

And most of all, be generous with your gratitude for God Who is the Source of all the Life and Love there is—the boundless and active and refreshing Spirit that preserves, protects, and renews one and all.

Daily Inspiration, January 31st

Posted on January 31, 2017 by LauraMoliter

“Spirit, God, gathers unformed thoughts into their proper channels, and unfolds these thoughts, even as He opens the petals of a holy purpose in order that the purpose may appear.” (Science and Health, page 506)

Your goals, your development, your growth, your understanding are all very beautifully governed by the divine Gardener. The multitude of things we want to know or hope to do are not confused or overwhelming or simply elusive. They are controlled very precisely by God, who brings each idea to fruition at just the right time.

God knows His own ideas. He has the blooming garden of our days and of our lives all designed in its full splendor. Each petal of His purpose for us will reveal itself according to what the season requires and what will be most pleasing to us and to others.

We don’t need to know the whole picture. We don’t need to see everything done or get out ahead of our inspired ideas. What we do need to do is trust the seeds God has planted, love their promise, and tend to them with our patient receptivity. Things may feel too big to attain or our vision of things unclear, but we will see the buds form at just the right time, and each aspect will come into view for us at a pace that is comfortable, natural, and still spectacular!

Spirit, God, brings out the best in us and in our lives. Rest in this fact and trust your Father-Mother to show you what you need to know, when you need to know it.  Enjoy the discovery, one flowering, aromatic idea at a time.

Daily Inspiration, January 26th

Posted on January 26, 2017 by LauraMoliter

“Divine Love is infinite. Therefore all that really exists is in and of God, and manifests His love.” (Science and Health, page 340)

God’s Love is boundless. It proceeds from an infinite Source and continues to flow without interruption or exception. God’s Love is not stalled out by distance, circumstance, ignorance, material obstacles. Time doesn’t influence the perfection and presence and power of this Love.

Why? Because Love is God and God is omnipotent and omnipresent. Love constitutes reality and everything was made to express this Love. Divine Love, being God, fills all space and there is no room or reason for anything else. This Love is self-sustaining harmony; it is the breath of all Life; it is the substance of all that God created and all that exists; it is the holy purpose that endures and cannot be damaged or destroyed.

Let’s look at ourselves, others, and our lives with genuine eyes—those that see and recognize Love and nothing less. For Love is real and powerful. Anything that isn’t Love doesn’t have any real capacity. It only seems to have what our fear or belief might give it. Stay on the side of power. Divine Love is all around and in you. See it. Use it. Love it back, with gratitude and great expectations!

“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28: 1)

Standing with righteousness, as the upright and noble creation of God, we can easily be bold. Through this conscious connection with the divine reality of being—our own natural goodness and kindness and decency—we can be confident in all that we do.

This is not arrogance or human bravado. It is that certainty of the lion, his innate recognition of power and dominion, because of who he is. We can have this same assured state of being as we act in accord with our true nature. Our goodness gives us power that is not pretense, but simply, trust.

On the other hand, those who may agree to evil suggestions or behave at odds with their own higher selfhood, may appear fierce, but they have no power. They don’t have the strength of righteousness to stand on, and so they may run away in times of trouble and even when they are not threatened. The awareness of guilt or wicked intentions can bring out that unnatural paranoia.

But the rock of righteousness is in each one of us. We have the ability to recognize this fact and to confidently, boldly, walk forth and face life without fear. For we know who we are—the very expression of Almighty goodness, Life, and Love.

“Then the Lord said to him, ‘Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground [worthy of reverence and respect].’” (Acts 7: 33, Amplified Bible)

How wonderful it is to be made aware that right where we are, is holy ground! Just as we are reminded here with God’s words to Moses, this awesome announcement is coming to us today to show us just what a hallowed place we are in.

The recognition of the present and its power for us, is saving and healing. We can mentally remove our sandals—reverence this moment and all it contains for us. For this very moment has God in it, good in it, Love in it, and resonates with opportunity. The ground, this trustworthy foundation of Truth on which you stand, is holy because it is the place where God put us and where He holds us safe and ready for grace.

We can respect this place where we are. We can stop judging and analyzing ourselves and our lives, looking back with regret and forward with fear, and simply stand in grateful awe of this moment. It is full of promise and it is also full of one very special thing—YOU!

You bring a glory to this place with your very presence. Cherish your sweet power and the blessing you bring to Life by being you—God’s own image and beloved!

Daily Inspiration, January 17th

Posted on January 17, 2017 by LauraMoliter

“The wisdom that comes from God is first utterly pure, then peace-loving, gentle, approachable, full of tolerant thoughts and kindly actions, with no breath of favouritism or hint of hypocrisy. And the wise are peace-makers who go on quietly sowing for a harvest of righteousness—in other people and in themselves.” (James 3: 17-18, J.B. Phillips New Testament)

God’s wisdom includes all that is peaceful and also powerful. His intelligent guidance is kind and good, full of Love and the certainty of Truth. There is nothing in God’s Mind that is ignorant, partial, unclear, confused, or unbalanced. God is perfect Love, divine affection, and incapable of mistake. This Love is not human love to be biased and jealous and fearful.

God’s wisdom is absolutely pure and easy and natural. We can trust it and turn to this Mind to guide us toward what is right for us and for all. Peace is the desired end, and starting with God, it is where we can also gratefully begin.

To be wise is to rely on God to control and care for all. It is to dwell in that natural and necessary peace of mind that is not only pleasant, but powerful in its serene resolve, persistent in Love, and in the pure effectiveness that comes of sincerity. When we trust God’s wisdom, we are led to appreciate what He has given us and to continue cultivating peace for ourselves and for our world as well.
