Daily Inspiration, June 23rd

“As the children of Israel were guided triumphantly through the Red Sea, the dark ebbing and flowing tides human fear, — as they were led through the wilderness, walking wearily through the great desert of human hopes, and anticipating the promised joy, — so shall the spiritual idea guide all right desires in their passage from sense to Soul, from a material sense of existence to the spiritual, up to the glory prepared for them who love God.” (Science and Health, page 566)

The children of Israel sought the Promised Land. They were being called to freedom and they would not settle for anything less. This journey was not always easy and their fears and doubts would often try to get the better of them. But the holy purpose and promise never left them. Their desire for what was rightfully theirs led them home.

As we go forward in life, challenged at times by what seems like a desert of uncertainty and insufficiency and a wilderness of fear, our hope can stay strong in the promise as well. We are being guided to something greater and also more natural to us than a life of bondage to limits, worry, doubt, guilt, and personal responsibility.

Freedom is not only our goal; it is our very present state of being. It is the description of ourselves that God made and put permanently within us. It is the reason we are unwilling to settle for less than joy, wholeness, peace, prosperity. We were born with freedom in our hearts because freedom is the Truth, our Truth.

The spiritual idea—our true identity as God’s own child forever at one with Him—is our guiding star, our manna, and our consoling, uplifting Comforter. Our right desires are being guided to the better day, the better way, the real and brilliant and liberated life we deserve to realize.

Stay faithful to your purpose. Appreciate the journey for the gifts of wisdom and patience and mercy and creativity that it is bestowing on you along the way. The Promised Land is not a pipe dream. It is reality inviting you home.

Daily Inspiration, June 21st

Posted on June 21, 2016 by LauraMoliter

“…you’ve become a new person. This new person is continually renewed in knowledge to be like its Creator.” (Colossians 3: 10, God’s Word Translation)

The more we know of God, of Life, the more we are made new. We can’t fail to give up—as unreasonable and unnatural and unnecessary—that sense of ourselves that isn’t up to par. God’s standards are high and holy. They are beyond the lowered expectations we may have for ourselves and our lives.

You have become a new person. Each day, you have a renewed opportunity to get better acquainted with who you really are, today. This “you” is the idea that God created, not the one feeling old and weary with years and fears and tears. God made you like Himself. He made you of Spirit, Truth, and Love. He created each one of us to actively and accurately express His qualities and nature today.

Recognize the real you. Every day grants us the occasion to agree to be our best selves, our true selves, new to this moment and brand new in it. You can choose to live as God made you and sees you, and to give up the limited, limiting, depressing, declining, and entirely false. Today is your day to shine. You have become a new person, because God’s Life and Love is constantly revealing new ideas, new outlooks, new perspectives to you and through you. Be willing, ready, eager, and grateful to realize and experience this vibrant newness in yourself, in others, and in your life.

Daily Inspiration, June 16th

“If Truth is overcoming error in your daily walk and conversation, you can finally say, ‘I have fought a good fight . . . I have kept the faith,’ because you are a better man.”  (Science and Health, page 21)

Look kindly on your life. Are you each day yearning to know goodness better? Are you striving to think and act with more love in your heart? Are you learning more and more that feeling anything less than kindness, mercy, forgiveness, appreciation, patience, is not only ungodlike, it is uncomfortable and unfruitful?

Trust your journey to a more honest you. You were built to be God’s own expression—the very evidence of Love and harmony here and now. This is your true state of being and any mistaken sense of this, realized, is a learning process that contributes to your ultimate success.

Challenges may come. We may feel we are not good enough, that we have done things we shouldn’t have, or that we haven’t sustained good thoughts in every day. Take heart. If the Truth of Life and Love are becoming more real in your thinking; if the recognition of what truly is good and right is becoming more apparent; if you are having more love for good and giving error and evil less control and focus, you are doing much.

The overcoming can feel daunting, but it is where we truly discover and appreciate the glory of being a better man and woman, the one who God made and who is much more natural to us. By this daily awareness, we come to know the heart within us and the life of Love that would truly set us free—moment by glorious moment, day by glorious day.

“Unselfish ambition, noble life-motives, and purity, —these constituents of thought, mingling, constitute individually and collectively true happiness, strength, and permanence.” (Science and Health, page 58)

Here noted are three beneficial qualities that we can realize and cultivate if we are to feel truly happy and at peace in ourselves and with the world. These are aspects of our thinking that together help us achieve success. They are entirely natural to you, ready to be utilized.

If you look to your heart, without judgment or analysis, you can discover that selfless purpose and the desire to pursue it. We often think of ambition as something that is a personal drive or push for attainment. But an ambition that is about good for all and not exclusively for ourselves, is an admirable and powerful thing. The dictionary defines ambition as “an earnest desire for some achievement…and the willingness to strive for its attainment.” That willingness, not willfulness, is a yielding to God’s purpose, listening, and obeying with energy and receptivity and expectation of success.

These selfless good works, in unison with life-motives that are noble and thoughts that are pure—free of limits and judgment and fear and the belief of sin and evil—bring us an honest and sustainable joy and peace. We have attuned ourselves to God’s real design for our lives. This harmonious blending of powerful yet loving qualities brings out satisfying results in our own lives and for those around us as well.

“Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:” (Matthew 25: 34)

That’s quite an invitation! Are you willing to accept it? Are you ready to enter into the kingdom that is your rightful inheritance?

I would hope so! Let me tell you about this kingdom, as I see it, but first let me tell you why it’s yours. It is yours because you are, as Jesus tells us here, the very blessed of the Father. You are God’s own child, the one He caused to be and loves with unending, boundless, focused, perfect Love. And this Truth of your nature and God’s affection not only gives you a right to the kingdom, it is the kingdom.

The foundation of the world was God’s original ideal, His creation made in His image to express His qualities. It was and is His design through which to manifest His goodness in infinite ways and to satisfy His own intention: to prove and to express Love.

So He caused you, a blessed child of God, beloved of the Father-Mother and heir to all that He is and all that He has.

There is no waiting for this inheritance to kick in. We don’t need to leave this seeming material realm in order to have access. God has blessed us now. We will never be His children any more than we already are, and we will always be securely residing within the kingdom of His saving, healing, comforting, tender, powerful Love.

“And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:” (Isaiah 58: 10)

Giving is empowering. Kindness is energizing. Compassion is uplifting.

Why is this? It is because when we act like we were built to act; when we draw upon and express our natural goodness, we are at one with the infinite Almighty, with that which is Truth and reality and righteousness. This authentic selfhood takes off the mask of fear and selfishness, and the light of our true selves shines for all to see.

You will know your own greatness through service. You will be known by raising others up. Be willing to respond to that love within you that seeks to help, to share, to give. And be assured that you always have an abundance of loving care to offer. Recognize that in small as well as larger ways you can serve others by expressing Life and Love, without putting conditions or judgments on the worth of your gift or on your own capacity.

You were created to radiate God’s presence, to be the very light to the darkness that might appear in your own life as well as the lives of others. Know that when you unite with God, boundless goodness, you will always have more than enough to give and with it a sense of true success and prosperity. And your riches shared will only establish and declare your own grandeur, that light that brightens others simply by its presence—the glow of Love in you.

“Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness.” (Psalms 37: 3, Amplified Bible)

Abide with God. Let goodness be your intention and at the same time your dwelling place. We can’t pursue kind and good actions with the love and power and honesty needed if we are not aware that we are safe ourselves. As we come to know our own security, we are able to live well and to give well also.

It is about trust. It takes our conscious yielding to God’s faithfulness—an awakened and grateful awareness that He is feeding us daily, hourly, with His ideas, His qualities, His power, His Love. God is trustworthy. He is changeless perfection and fills all space with His presence. This infinite substance that occupies the place where you are is divine Love. You are in a place of plenty!

Relinquish that personal control and look beyond what the senses want to present to you. Spirit transcends the limited testimony and reveals so much more. You are being nurtured right here and right now with all that is fulfilling and sustaining. God’s purpose of Love is unopposed. His resources are yours to lean on and utilize. His strength and His wisdom are guiding you and assuring that you accomplish what He intends.

You are made to be good, to do good, and to feel good. You dwell in God’s land and this is His imperative law of Life and Love!

Daily Inspiration, May 31st

“Live together in peace, and our instruction to this end is to reprimand the unruly, encourage the timid, help the weak and be very patient with all men…good should be your objective always, among yourselves and in the world at large.” (I Thessalonians 5: 13-15, JB Phillips New Testament)

With good as our objective always, the patience and helpfulness and encouragement of others will come naturally. As we accept a higher purpose for ourselves, we are led to do what is loving, as well as right toward one another. This peace within us expands to include our family, friends, community, and the world.

Cultivate this goodness in you. You were not made to be selfish or judgmental. You were not meant to exclude and to be impatient or apathetic. You were made to radiate God Himself—goodness that is powerful and pleasing and achieves His intention of peace and harmony and unity.

Listen to your heart and respond with eagerness. Every time we answer the call of God, of goodness and kindness and helpfulness, we are coming into line with His design for us. We are recognizing our true selves and yielding up the selfish and unsatisfying and separate and false view of ourselves.

Look around you. Children of God abound. Each is worthy and wonderful. You are one of these children as well. Act like it. This acceptance of your true heritage gives you access to the riches of contentment and joy within and impacts the world as well with the natural and vital and healing power of God’s goodness expressed!

“The power of God brings deliverance to the captive. No power can withstand divine Love.” (Science and Health, page 224)

We may feel at times that we are captive to and captivated by what the senses are telling us or to limiting circumstances or personal relationships that seem challenging. We may feel stuck and without recourse or in need of a miracle to set us free.

Prepare for a rescue! It is our constant preoccupation with trouble and with fear that paralyzes us and blinds us to our solution. If we invest power in matter and ego, not to mention agree to anger and self-justification and doubt, we are turning from the power which is readily available to lead us naturally to peace and freedom.

This power is divine Love. This is our savior. Divine Love is God’s own infinite strength and tenderness. It is that which doesn’t need to fight for victory, but by its own all-encompassing goodness, kindness, leaves nothing left to fight.

The marginal heading for this quote reads: “mental emancipation.” As Love is accepted in thought; as we agree to receive without reservation its absolving, resolving grace, the doors to freedom are opened to us. Our uplifted attitude gives us new and clear vision. We can see things as they really are and begin to feel and act like the free and beloved ones of God Who is Almighty—always powerful, always winning, always with us and for us and always ready to deliver us with invincible Love.

“Divine Love blesses its own ideas, and causes them to multiply, — to manifest His power.” (Science and Health, page 517)

You are an idea of divine Love. Likewise, the inspirations and endeavors that you are led to achieve, have their source in divine Love. God cherishes each of us and has caused us with His purpose in Mind. We were made to manifest His goodness, light, Life, and power.

And so we were not made to fail or to lose or to live meagerly or shamefully. God made us with the imperative intention that we multiply—that the abundant Love that He showered upon us because He delighted in conceiving us, continues to increase in glory and in expression.

We may believe ourselves to be small and with little promise. We may look at ourselves in a way that is demeaning or feel little hope toward anything truly spectacular for ourselves. But, this is belief. It is not Truth. And a belief can be changed. A perspective can be uplifted to see what is really going on, and so to give up that which has been merely accepted and tolerated as the best we can do.

Divine Love has blessed you with the ability to multiply—to demonstrate powerfully all the qualities of peace and joy and capacity for success that He so lovingly bestowed on you. Accept the blessing. Don’t argue against it. Receive this Truth and own it as the living fact for you. Let this divine promise cause you and your purpose to be revealed as right and as fruitful. Do it today!
