“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.” (Philippians 4: 4)

There is more to life than simply getting by, maintaining, surviving with the least amount of struggle and pain. We have the right to be really happy. In fact, God demands our joy because it is His own quality. As His image, if we are to actively and accurately glorify Him—to express and magnify on earth God’s own nature and intention—we must rejoice.

This verse reminds us to rejoice in the Lord—to praise and celebrate goodness, Life, and Love. Paul is telling those listeners and followers of Christ to be sure not to forget the joy that Jesus came announcing. He reiterates this message, for it is vitally important. Being good and doing good, living the Life God gave us, is a cause for rejoicing, celebrating. Mortal mind, those limiting beliefs of the senses, would justify sadness, worry, discouragement, and apathy. But, those lies don’t have to hold us. We have the right, the divine demand, to be happy!

So take a pause and realize that you can rejoice in the Lord, because you reflect His joy, His pleasure with His creation and His certainty of good. Don’t argue for anything less than what God would give you. Your happy life is a life that celebrates God. Claiming this joy for ourselves daily and gratefully, we bring ourselves into harmony with God’s own purpose and so this mighty power is on our side.

Rejoice and rejoice again and again. God’s Life is yours to live, and it is one that is full of infinite possibilities, comfort, love, and genuine and generous joy!

Daily Inspiration, September 24th

 “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.” (Joel 2: 25-26)

Get ready for a renewal, a refreshing, an influx of good restored to you and to your life. You can trust God’s promise. The past is not a power to take away what Almighty Love would provide for you now.

Human experiences and material conditions would often try to wrest away our provision, our nest egg of security as well as that storehouse of hope and inspiration and energy. But all that would seem to be lost is replenished by God, given back to us in a way that provides also increased wisdom, gratitude, strength, and a life full of fresh new promise and potential. Human errors and lapses in judgment and behavior should not be clung to with shame. We are God’s own people. There is nothing in us to be ashamed of.

Instead, relish that you are a child of God and that children don’t need to feel guilt or shame or blame. They need to grow and learn and receive new lessons and the right occasions to apply them. All the while, these dear ones are provided for and given new opportunities for which they are ready.

We are safe in the abundant Love of our Father-Mother-God, restoring all that would seem to be lost and washing us clean for a new day of satisfaction, fulfillment, and praise!

Daily Inspiration, September 22nd

“With all your heart you must trust the Lord and not your own judgment. Always let him lead you, and he will clear the road for you to follow.” (Proverbs 3: 5-6, Contemporary English Version)

Are you feeling a little stymied? Are you experiencing what feel like obstructions and limitations in some areas of your life? Does it seem like you are getting a lot of resistance to things you are trying to accomplish or feeling somehow wearied and uncertain in achieving a goal, either small or greater?

We all have certainly felt this way at times and I suspect we’ve often tried to come up with every reason why things are going wrong. We may have listed pros and cons to determine how to proceed as well as taking human opinions into account, making everything seem even more complicated and causing us to feel even more stuck.

Let your worry and wondering and ruminating and justifying go. Trust the One Who is wise and loving and absolutely certain of your path to freedom. God’s way for you is right and good, satisfying and progressive, and it is His ideal plan, not your (limited) human picture of things. With all your heart give up the need to work out your life. God is Life and He is Love. Rejoice and lean your whole being into God’s hands and His gracious design for you. His law of liberty has already cleared those obstacles and His kindness is ready to lead the way so that you can naturally follow.

You may be surprised where God takes you. But you will not be disappointed!

Daily Inspiration, September 17th

Posted on September 17, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Now that we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts. And his Spirit tells us that God is our Father. You are no longer slaves. You are God’s children, and you will be given what he has promised.” (Galatians 4: 6-7, Contemporary English Version)

You are free and you know it! Listen to your heart within. While it may seem at times convincing that material conditions and circumstances are binding you, limiting your life, there is Truth within you denying this and calling you forth to true freedom and joy.

We are not slaves to sense or to world’s beliefs about us or about what life should be. We are children of God. He is our Father and our Mother and we are destined for greatness, for a conscious awareness and expression of God’s own intention for us—peace, joy, being the very living proof of His kingdom here and now.

God is Truth and Love. His promise to us is not iffy or conditional. This promise truly is that we be what He caused to be. This genuine identity is not merely something to eventually become, to aspire to, to hope for. It is the reality of things, a promise that is a guarantee, the very present fact of who you are and how you are: free! God’s family are not slaves; they are not born into bondage and hardship and an endless struggle for liberty. God’s ideas—you and me—are His children, His own unlimited nature expressed; always have been, always will be, and are right now. That’s a promise!

Daily Inspiration, September 15th

Posted on September 15, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture…I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” (John 10: 9-10, Amplified Bible)

Do you know what this door looks like? Can you find it so that you can go through and feel the rich grass beneath your feet and the open sky in which to soar?

Jesus told us through his teaching and living just how to find this door. Well, first of all, by seeking it; by looking away from the belief that heaven is reserved for someone else or for us at some other time. It is by asking with your heart for the way home.

And the Master reminded us over and over again that we are children of God. He reiterated relentlessly (yet lovingly!) his oneness with God as the only Mind, Life, and good that there is. The door is this Truth that we are born of God, made in His image, and forever at one with His presence, Spirit, Soul, and Love. In this recognition of our own worthiness, God’s limitless Life, and our right to and access to natural freedom and joy, we are able to see that the door is not a distant, hidden hope. It is the very truth of our being, right here and right now.

And as we gratefully claim this truth, we are able to come and go—to be within those moments of prayer and sacred peace, as well as in the noise of the world, and always feel at home. This fact of our sonship with God that Jesus came proving, opens wide the door to a life of abundance, not by striving and taking and competition and sacrifice, but by agreeing to be who we already are—the rightful heirs of the kingdom of heaven at hand!

Daily Inspiration, September 10th

Posted on September 10, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”  (Joshua 1: 9)

Strength and courage are requisite. They are God’s command—His active qualities which He consistently expresses to us and through us. This fearless confidence is not about human bravery though. It is not about stoicism or stubborn, willful pushing forward.

It is about reliance. The reason we do not need to be dismayed, worried, uncertain, confused, or afraid, is because God has commanded this one very basic unchangeable thing: I will be with you everywhere and at all times. We are never for an instant or by an inch separate from God’s presence and power. We are always in the safe certainty of His perfect wisdom and Love.

So realize that it is not your duty to try to convince yourself of strength you don’t feel or fearlessness you can’t quite claim. These great and graceful qualities are not personal traits. They are the infinite attributes of God, forever available, always intact and active. And back of these powerful qualities is always God’s nature and unfailing purpose: Love.

Daily Inspiration, September 8th

Posted on September 8, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Let us be faithful in pointing the way through Christ, as we understand it, but let us also be careful always to ‘judge righteous judgment,’ and never to condemn rashly.” (Science and Health, page 444)

When we have the Truth and feel the power of knowing it, we can’t help but be compelled to share it. Do not be timid about giving of this rich awareness of the Christ, the way to freedom and peace which we can experience by knowing who we are as God’s children. We certainly don’t want to hoard the Truth of Love, for how loving would that be?
We can also feel confident that we don’t have to know the full measure of God’s gracious Truth in order to share it with others, to help and guide and point the way to healing and harmony. We can give of what we do understand, from our hearts, with honesty and enthusiasm, and that will do much good for those who are seeking a better way.
But be wise to preaching without listening. Be careful not to condemn or judge those who we may feel are not as wise as we think we are or who have a different viewpoint. And don’t measure, without inspiration, just who may or may not be receptive to what you have to offer. Pointing the way through Christ requires we utilize that Christ—listen moment by moment to Love’s great word and follow wisely, humbly, and with genuine love.

Daily Inspiration, September 3rd

Posted on September 3, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Jesus…claimed no intelligence, action, nor life separate from God.” (Science and Health, page 136)

In all that Jesus said and did, he honored God as the Source. He consciously and conscientiously remembered and reminded others that he was not a specially gifted human doing miracles and surviving difficulties. Jesus knew with his whole heart that he was never alone. He was aware that his entire existence was at one with God, his Father-Mother-Life.

This active cognizance of His oneness with God was what empowered Jesus and gave him instant access to wisdom, protection, peace, and the pure love that healed. Jesus continually and humbly proclaimed God as the one and only good, the one Life and Truth and Mind. Jesus wasn’t just trying to take the attention away from himself. He was telling us something vitally important!

We are all inseparable from God in intelligence, action, and life, just as he was. Jesus repeated this fact often so we would realize that we, too, are never apart from God; in claiming this truth and relying on God (not self) we, too, could and can do great things. With God honored as our Life, we cannot fail to be good, wise, loving, confident and (just as Jesus always was!) abundantly grateful.

Daily Inspiration, September 1st

Posted on September 1, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Romans 12: 2, New Living Translation)

How often do we attempt to gain a successful life with the approach of mimicking the world’s presentations of what constitutes the ideal? We look at the parade of things and situations that look best, that fit a certain customary way of doing things, and we hope to achieve this picture of well-being.

And yet, the traditions and expectations of the world should not be our goal or our path to contentment. These are too small for us, and yet not specific enough either. They are limited and random. The so-called ideal for perfect human life has transformed significantly over time and across cultures. It is not a reliable standard and it is not one that has Spirit and its limitless goodness behind it.

If you want to know what will bring you peace and joy and a feeling of worth and satisfaction, stop gauging things according to the world’s “acceptable” view of what that is. Let God change your thought—transform your consciousness to one that is truly grounded on a reliable Principle, Truth and Love. Let God’s expansive vision of reality show you what is truly possible to you—what excites and at the same time settles your soul. This transformation is truly a revelation. It is God’s natural revealing of you. It is not as the world would have you appear, to conform, to be like everyone else, but as God sees you—rich in what is right, full of genuine joy, and uniquely yours to be and to live and to share.

Daily Inspiration, August 27th

Posted on August 27, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“While he was still speaking, messengers arrived from the synagogue president’s house, saying, ‘Your daughter is dead—there is no need to bother the master any further.’ But when Jesus heard this, he said, ‘Now don’t be afraid, just go on believing!’” (Mark 5: 35-35, JB Phillips Translation)

Jesus was able to heal the daughter of this seeking soul, to bring her back to life. And his words to the concerned father are two key ideas that can support our own healing. We should take Jesus’s comforting words to heart. There is, as all Christly imparting, a power to them.

“Now don’t be afraid.” Jesus’s initial instruction to this dear fretting one was for him to give up the fear. It is really always the first thing we all must do when seeking peace and healing. And Jesus was not saying to lose fear when the healing was evident, but to stop being afraid now. Jesus was giving this man and all of us a message from our Father. Jesus was one with God and knew that His goodness and Love was greater than the fear and any seeming cause for it. His gentle words expressed that Love, just as the Christ does for us—reminding us in the moment, right now, that fear is not needed, healing, nor does it give us a clear vision of what is really going on—peace, safety, perfect care.

Then Jesus gave that second piece of healing advice. The man had come with trust to Jesus, expecting healing. Jesus was saying, essentially, it doesn’t matter that things seem dark now, that the report from the messengers (mortal mind, sense testimony) want to tell you to give up. Trust your faith, your believing, and just keep on trusting it. The guidance and faith that turned this man, and us, toward the healing Christ, was valid. Be patient and steadfast with this trust. Let God tell you the true and perfect state of things, and in the meantime, give yourself permission to be fearless and trusting, calm and confident. Jesus said so!
