Daily Inspiration, November 10th

Posted on November 10, 2016 by LauraMoliter

“Many plans are in a man’s mind, But it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand (be carried out).” (Proverbs 19: 21, Amplified Bible)

We’re all just full of ideas. Some of them are good and inspired. Some of these thoughts are not productive, helpful, or even true. We make plans and we also tend to predict, at times unconsciously, what is in store for us. We have great aspirations, but at the same time we put conditions and limits on their realization. We also may find ourselves agreeing that our lives must necessarily pass through certain phases to carry out an agenda based on a supposed material view of life.

But all these plans, these human designs and limits, are not the Truth for us. God’s purpose is the one that will stand, that must be carried out. His wise and loving will for us is the intention that is real and right and good and limitless; that can’t be lost in time or by human actions.

God’s purpose for us is that we remain faithfully what He caused us to be. His intention is perfection, immortality, progress, and peace. God isn’t confused by the “many plans in a man’s mind,” nor is he swayed by material beliefs or presentations about our life. God’s plans don’t involve human will or the lack of it. His all-powerful design is the one that is legitimate and just right for us.

Release your thought and your life from its little human plans and expectations, and let God’s purpose reveal its natural and boundless splendor!

Daily Inspiration, November 8th

Posted on November 8, 2016 by LauraMoliter

“I will bless you with a future filled with hope—a future of success, not of suffering. You will turn back to me and ask for help, and I will answer your prayers.” (Jeremiah 29: 11-12, Contemporary English Version)

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to accept this benediction for ourselves? Wouldn’t it feel satisfying, safe, and assuring to willingly receive this blessing upon our future along with the awareness that we will always have a recourse for help should we need it?

So, let’s just do it! Let’s release ourselves with gladness and gratitude to this word from God. We have access to this hope for tomorrow, and it rests in accepting God’s blessing today. Let the struggling thought, fearing or fretting over the future, pause to receive God’s abiding promise right now. God’s Love is yours today. It is yours tomorrow. It will always be yours.

In this moment, we can receive this divine assurance.  We can expect success and not suffering. We can set aside those beliefs that evil is inevitable or that we are somehow the exception to God’s rule of abundance and grace.

Gratefully realize that this word of God is yours. It comes from Truth itself just for you. You can expect the best. You can know that even if uncertainty does arise in your glorious future, you will always have a place to turn. God will lead you back on course, back to His intention for you and for all—to express His own glory and to be blessed today, tomorrow, and always.

Daily Inspiration, November 3rd

Posted on November 3, 2016 by LauraMoliter

“You are the light of the world. You cannot hide a city that has been built upon a mountain.” (Matthew 5: 14, Aramaic Bible in Plain English)

We are made to share our light. This light is that goodness and love that God has given us; the reflection of Truth’s presence and power. Such brightness can’t really be hidden, and yet at times we try to do just that. We choose to question our capacity to have a meaningful impact on others and instead shadow our own light in self-doubt and fear and personal sense.

But this city, this great ideal that God expresses through you, is a powerful beacon and sanctuary. Its purpose can’t be denied. There is no way that something so large and lovely and true as God’s own intention of Love, can be kept under wraps.

It is situated on a mountain. It stands upon a rock that puts it above the earth and its dark beliefs. When we stand upon the mountain—the recognition that our light and our power are founded in God, the great I AM, the infinite Source—we are able to accomplish much and find the true confidence to share that healing glow with all.

You are a living witness to God’s qualities. You have an abundant gift to give to the world simply by remembering who you are as God’s own image, His powerful and necessary expression of Truth, Life, and Love.

Don’t hide your radiance or qualify it. Get on that mountain and shine!

Daily Inspiration, November 1st

Posted on November 1, 2016 by LauraMoliter

“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” (II Timothy 1: 7, New International Version)

You may believe you were born lacking in certain things. You may have come to buy that your capacities are limited and that you can’t achieve great things.

But a belief about yourself isn’t Truth. God gave us our true identity. He filled us up with all the qualities for success and made them easily accessible to us. You were built to shine with a powerful light and to share that easily, freely, and with impact.

You were made with love in your heart and soul, and with an innate awareness of God’s Love for you. You were not made to degrade yourself or others, but to feel that rich and right desire to love just as God loves you.

And you were designed to be obedient to God’s plan for you and for all. His supreme control is reflected in your ability to be faithful to goodness, to follow a higher path, to be organized and clear and progressive, and to be unafraid. You have been bestowed, naturally, with all that guarantees success.

This achievement is Spirit’s gift, not material attainment or demonstration. It comes of God, the everlasting Presence, so these wonderful attributes are always available to claim, each day, without conditions upon them.

You are powerful, loving, and obedient to God. You are fearlessly ready to do great things and to do them with gratitude and joy!

“I am with you every day, even unto the end of time.” (Matthew 28: 20, Aramaic Bible in Plain English)

Jesus’s comforting words are meant just for us. These intimate words to his disciples following his resurrection are the ultimate message for us all.

We will never have a day without the Christ. There is not a single moment where we are not being accompanied, guided, protected, inspired by the presence of the Comforter. This Truth of our Life, straight from God’s own heart of Love, is always near.

Today we walk in grace. Today we have the Christ—the conscious and powerful Truth of our oneness with God. This loving one is always just what we need in just the way we need it. God’s Truth is precise and healing. It is tenderness. It is strength. It is insight. It is awakening. It is beauty and joy at hand and made real for us. Each moment. Today and until the end of time.

Jesus’s promise is Truth’s guarantee. Open your spiritual eyes and see your faithful companion and guide, forever with you and in you, unfailing and loving and saving, here and now and forever.

Daily Inspiration, October 25th

“Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace].” (James 1: 2-3, Amplified Bible)

Don’t let the challenges of life cause you to feel you are failing or losing. Trials will come to everyone in human experience. These are occasions to put into practice what we are learning of God and to gain an even greater understanding.

And this heightened awareness of God in all circumstances, and turning to Him for solutions, reveals strength and patience and maturity in us. As we are humbled to listen and lean on God’s Love, to give up personal control and ego, and to be led into fresh views and renewed opportunities, we are indeed winning.

It is our joy, in fact, to gain through overcoming. For not only can we say truthfully that we have had a victory, have beat the enemy back through our endurance and wisdom; but we also through each testing become more practiced at recognizing the lie when it comes to tempt us into its trap, and demonstrating the Truth that defeats it.

The added bonus is that we gain a greater view of God’s presence and power and know exactly why it is the solution to all. Divine Love is fully appreciated, not taken for granted. We know the value of what we have, and we are less willing to forget it in times of trouble and even in times of peace and joy.

Daily Inspiration, October 20th

Posted on October 20, 2016 by LauraMoliter

“May the God who inspires men to endure, and gives them a Father’s care, give you a mind united towards one another because of your common loyalty to Jesus Christ. And then, as one man, you will sing from the heart the praises of God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 15: 5-6, JB Phillips New Testament)

We can take hold of this blessing and begin the joyous song together!

Our Father-Mother-God is faithfully protecting us as He guides us forward with new insight, inspiration, conscious awareness of Life as it truly is. His Christ-message—that powerful and enduring love-note to His children—has been bestowed on us. We have been shown the facts of our birthright and our immortality.

God has revealed that we are His own children, the ideas of His own perfect Mind, conceived of Love, and held perpetually in His Life. This great news is our common theme, and our cause for joint celebration. We are loyal to Christ, to the consciousness of spiritual being, our eternal guarantee of well-being, peace, and life.

So let us sing praises to God as one man—as the unified voice of God’s ideal. Let’s come together in natural unison and celebrate the universal song of Life and Love that God Himself has written and released to the world!

Daily Inspiration, October 18th

Posted on October 18, 2016 by LauraMoliter

“Self-forgetfulness, purity, and affection are constant prayers.” (Science and Health, page 15)

Connecting with God in active prayer isn’t exclusively quiet communion and thoughts and words expressed to God. There are ways to pray in every moment, in the midst of our experiences, and to more clearly and effectively recognize that oneness with Him on the fly, so to speak.

A constant prayer is the way in which we live. You are a living prayer as you feel and express that true connection with God, good, Love. The realization of the three aspects in the quote naturally bring us into harmony with God and into an awareness of His goodness for us and for all.

With self-forgetfulness, we give up the false sense of a personal self out on our own, disconnected from the divine One. Additionally, we let go of selfishness and in doing so see how much we have to give. We feel a sense of the unity that blesses all.

Purity is that condition of being free of anything that pollutes or contaminates. We can cleanse ourselves from any impurity by being aware of those aspects of our thinking and behavior that don’t fully honor good and that tend to cloud our clarity and hide our loveliness. When we claim our innocence and live that purity that is truly ours, we are in a state of receptive prayer, for we are free of impediments to hearing and feeling God’s presence.

And true affection is a constant prayer as well. It is being Love and expressing it toward God’s creation. It is loving Love and loving to love, and this aligns us with God in every way—it is a prayer that honors God for the Love that He is, and shares it with others generously as well.

Daily Inspiration, October 13th

“Faith is higher and more spiritual than belief. It is a chrysalis state of human thought, in which spiritual evidence, contradicting the testimony of material sense, begins to appear, and Truth, the ever-present, is becoming understood.” (Science and Health, page 297)

Faith is a beautiful thing. It is the entryway to a heavenly perspective, the unfurling of wondrous reality in the place of limits, doubts, fears, discord.

This faith is ours to claim and feel. Give yourself permission to take your belief in Truth, God, good, to an even more spiritual level. Allow yourself to bask in that protected space of transformation, that chrysalis thought which is ready to be convinced that there is something better than a small and challenging life. Let that faith in Love, the power of goodness, and in yourself as God’s own child and image, settle into conviction.

This sweet experience of simple childlike trust, without the need to argue, instructs us into a better understanding of Life as it really is. We begin to see what seem like miracles to the faithless human sense, but which only feel just right and natural from our higher standpoint.

Truth is becoming understood. Faith guides us there. You are not a doubter or a skeptic. You have faith because you are everything God made you to be—wise, loving, lovable, perceptive, and a willing receiver of God’s own grace lovingly revealed.

Daily Inspiration, October 11th

Posted on October 11, 2016 by LauraMoliter

“This is the command as you have heard it from the beginning: you must walk in love.” (II John 1: 6, Holman Christian Standard Bible)

We were made to love. We were designed at the start to be the very evidence of God’s presence. God is Love. So our nature and our purpose is that of Love. Our individual expression of this spiritual affection may be unique and take on different forms in the day to day human experience, but it must still be Love’s presence walking this earth.

When we disassociate from divine Love or deny its presence in us or towards us, we essentially go against our true nature. We have forgotten who we are and Who God is. We have allowed something less than Love to guide us, to fill us up, to motivate us. When we aren’t walking in Love, we aren’t really getting anywhere we need to go. We may be physically moving or advancing according to some human measure of success, but we are not gaining the true riches of Life; we are not becoming acquainted with our own real value and beauty.

The original command at our very origin was to be like God. We were created as the image of the Life that is Love. Own up. Be who you are. Don’t forget the Truth that was written within you at the start. Walk in Love. Be Love.
