Daily Inspiration, July 21st

“Beholding the infinite tasks of truth, we pause,–wait on God.” (Science and Health, page 323)

It often seems like there is so much to accomplish, so much to understand, so much to know to feel a sense of achievement as well as peace. We can get mesmerized and overwhelmed by what feels unconquerable or not within our abilities.

Well, let’s not forget the pause. Yes, we see these infinite tasks of truth—the endless and progressive unfolding of goodness—but should we let this awareness make us feel panicked or in a rush to get ourselves through to the end of the race, to some final result where all things will be clear and complete? Don’t forget that pausing is heaven. It is grateful peace, and in this peace is the next right and reasonable step revealed.

If we wait on God—rest our busy heads and busy lives upon God and His Love and Truth—we have adopted the perfect stance to receive sustenance, renewing energy, focus, clarity and true guidance rather than willful motion based on worry not wisdom.

You can achieve all that God would have you achieve! He is calling you into a better understanding of the grand possibilities of your Life each day. Stop and listen. Love doesn’t overwhelm us or confuse us. It leads comfortably and cares for us as God unfolds our perfect way, our perfect day, in His perfect time.

Daily Inspiration, July 16th

“To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings.” (Science and Health, page vii)

The sustaining presence of God is everywhere. You can always lean fully and reliably on that infinite One. There is no space or circumstance where God is not present, occupying that place with His Truth and Love. You are never alone or without powerful support.

Recognize this available and saving presence and release the control, the worry, the fear, the responsibility, to that omnipotent goodness and Love. This infinite substance and sustenance will always keep you from falling, guide you to safety, lead you to success and peace, and supply your needs. Right where you are. Because where you are, God is.

Start your day with this trust and end it with gratitude. Today is not big with sorrow, pain, doubt, fear, dread, regrets, discomfort. Such a false outlook only comes when we lean on finiteness, limits—self, matter, time, persons, mortal opinions. In reality and for you and me, today is big with God, full of goodness and Love, wisdom and strength. Today is big with free and easy and natural blessings when we lean our lives and minds on the infinite One Who is loving us—right here and now and everywhere and always.

Daily Inspiration, July 14th

“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (II Corinthians 6: 17-18)

Take your proper place. Don’t get lost in a crowd of human opinions and fears and expectations. Don’t get caught up with fitting in to that which is really too small and confining for you, not to mention to dingy and dark and unlovely.

Come out, with joyful gratitude, and be separate. This separateness from worldly beliefs and limits is not a lonely and unsupported place. We are united to God, to all that is right and good and infinite and sustaining and satisfying and peaceful and true. We may have stepped out of line from a waiting world, but we have taken our rightful place as the sons and daughters of God.

Don’t be shy about claiming your divine heritage and all that that means. Act like a child of God, and shine forth with the light of His Love. Refuse to lead a life that is less than full and joyous and satisfying for you. Refuse to give in to peer pressure and take a road that looks easier because it is more well-traveled, but which is actually darker, stonier, less beautiful, not to mention quite crowded.

We deserve better. Stepping out from the crowd and aligning oneself with God and His purpose, goodness, and love, is not a punishing loneliness. It is protection, affection, peace, and power. We find our real contentment as well as productivity when we are true not to mortal men, but to ourselves and to God.

Daily Inspiration, July 9th

“Now is the time for so-called material pains and material pleasures to pass away, for both are unreal, because impossible in Science. To break this earthly spell, mortals must get the true idea and divine Principle of all that really exists and governs the universe harmoniously.” (Science and Health, page 39)

Our salvation is not in tomorrow, in next year, or after death. Now is the time to refuse to accept the confines of a life that is all about matter and its limits and lies. We don’t have to ascend out of matter in order to experience freedom from its bondage, right here and now.

How do we gain this freedom, this heaven on earth? Well, we can’t claim Spirit’s promises when we are focused on matter, making physiology and material circumstances our god and the arbiter of our fate. We must turn toward God, honoring His presence and power, and coming into a higher understanding of what is really true, lovely, enduring, and ours to know and experience.

Let’s be about breaking “this earthly spell.” The first thing we must do is know that we are being tricked, mesmerized into believing that matter holds the cards and that we have to take what it deals us. Refuse that deceptive hand. God has your life and He never created a man subject to another power, limited, or expressing anything less than His own grand ideal.

Recognize in each moment whether you are agreeing to matter’s limits, agreeing to wait on your salvation, or whether you are accepting the fact that you are, not shall be, the sons and daughters of God—heavenly, happy, free!

Daily Inspiration, July 7th

“I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” (John 14: 18)

This is a promise. Jesus was assuring his followers then and today that his departure from the earth did not leave them alone. He gave us all an enduring, precious, and powerful gift: the Truth.

The Truth that Jesus shared with the world and demonstrated through his healing and transcendence of death remains with us in all its glory and efficacy. This revealed Truth of divine Love and man as God’s child and image, is forever present and active. It existed before Jesus appeared on earth and will continue without end. This Truth is forever with us and its purpose and activity is the divine Love that heals us.

The Comforter is our awareness of this law, this Truth of being. This healing ideal is forever dawning in times of need, coming to us in new ways that enlighten and uplift. We are always being reminded of our divine origin and of God’s ever-presence and power. These attending angels are infinitely available and they come from God, from that perfect wisdom that knows precisely the comfort we need and just when we need it.

I will come to you. The Christ that heals will always be where we are, to draw us in with merciful love and to uplift us with strengthening inspiration. Jesus’s great and undying love for us left us with a faithful companion—a practical and available consciousness of our Oneness with saving, comforting, all-powerful divine Love.

Daily Inspiration, July 2nd

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10, New Living Translation)

God has a master plan. He has formed you with a brilliant idea in Mind and you express perfectly the very ideal He conceived. God’s original concept of you was nothing less than a masterpiece, having no flaw or vulnerability in His design. You are just what He envisioned and you were made for a holy purpose.

The Christ came to reveal to each of us this Truth of our being and what that means for our lives and for the world. This Christ has created us anew in that this message of divine sonship has opened our eyes to our spiritual perfection, God’s intention. The awareness and acceptance of this Truth forces us to shed the belief in the old man, the wrong idea of a sinning mortal.

Being God’s masterpiece, the expression of His flawless artistry, means we were designed for great things. We were created to walk this earth with beauty, with heavenly life in our hearts and radiating for the world to see.

Hear the Christly Truth of your divine nature and act accordingly. You are God’s masterpiece, without apology and without need for improvement. Your perfection is not up for debate. God made you just-right and this is the true you, the one that is built for great things and deserving of the rewards that come of being the son and daughter of God.

Daily Inspiration, June 30th

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” (Psalms 34: 19)

It sure may seem that the good we do doesn’t get us anywhere. We may feel under-appreciated, misunderstood, and even accused. Calm down. Don’t let these “afflictions” cause you to take the very road that is making you miserable. Don’t turn from that righteousness and allow anger, resentment, discouragement to barge on into your pure consciousness and good intentions and make a mess.

God’s purpose may get resistance at times, but it doesn’t leave you high and dry. Your loyalty to God, to goodness and love, protects and saves you. God does deliver us out of all those rough challenges. It is not merely safety that we get, though. It is new understanding, an even greater strength and peace. His deliverance is also growth, enrichment, enlightenment, and an even deeper love and gratitude for God, good.

Don’t despair. Maintain your integrity with enough humility to know that it is not your righteousness that is being expressed, but God’s. All the good you do and aspire to do comes of God Himself. He is able to keep His purpose and you safe, energized, and fearless to continue in His wonderful, productive, blessed way.

Daily Inspiration, June 25th

“O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul;…But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.” (Psalms 86: 14-15)

It may seem that we are being attacked or maligned or at the very least misunderstood or left out. We may feel beaten down and alone, on the losing side against people who we feel have power over our lives or can destroy our peace and happiness.

But our God is greater than all our “enemies.” All those worries over what others are thinking or doing can’t overpower God’s compassion and constancy. Likewise, our own doubts and self-condemnation do not hinder God in His active, patient, loving-kindness. We can always look to Him to find out the Truth of our lives—just how safe we are, and just how loved and lovable and good God has made us to be.

Individuals may be ignorant or selfish. They may not treat others as they should or could. They may cause us to lose our trust in others and in ourselves. But persons and their limited ideas are not Truth. God alone knows us and all, in the way that is right and gracious and saving. His mercy and truth don’t battle with false accusations and fears. They simply dissolve these and reveal the victory—our lives at one with God and His purpose and therefore safe, unharmed, approved of, and wholly good.

Daily Inspiration, June 23rd

“You were running the race nobly. Who has interfered in (hindered and stopped you from) your heeding and following the Truth? This [evil] persuasion is not from Him Who called you [Who invited you to freedom in Christ].” (Galatians 5: 7-8, Amplified Bible)

Stay faithful to God, good. Your Life is calling you forth into goodness, grace, love and gratitude. This is your true path. Honor it with your devotion and don’t let material suggestions and time and circumstance try to lure you into something less noble, less powerful, less right for you and for all.

Believe in God’s power and Love and don’t forget to believe in yourself. You are good enough, strong enough, wise enough, worthy enough to follow the Truth and to make an impact on the world with your life. Don’t let the accusations of others or the temptations to take the “easier way” lure your from your heart’s devotion.

God knows you and He is the one Who made you deserving, ready, and capable of staying true to goodness and faithful to His call to bear witness to great things. This calling is not a burden. You have been “invited…to freedom in Christ!” Freedom is not a burden. It is your natural being and a blessing for you and for all.

You are doing great. Don’t get off track. You are winning and God is with you every step of your wonderful, fruitful, joyous way!

Daily Inspiration, June 18th

“…my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” (I Corinthians 15: 58)

What you are doing counts! Your righteous endeavors as well as your significant accomplishments are all making a difference. Don’t give up on your ideals, your inspirations, or yourself. God has absolute faith in you. He made you to bear witness to Himself, to Soul’s infinite ideal, and He knows that you can do it.

Working for good, expressing integrity and kindness, plants you squarely on divine Principle, on the law of God. Stay true to this Principle and don’t allow yourself to believe that standing firm on Truth and Love can be fruitless or too difficult. Remember that we abound in the work of God, good—we are rich and filled in this activity and by its great rewards.

The key is Love. “Beloved brethren.” As brothers and sisters of God’s own creating, we are united with divine Love, doing all things through and because of Love. This same Love empowers us, guides us, protects us, saves us, and makes our work not only productive and effective, but truly joyful and satisfying as well.
