Daily Inspiration, August 13th

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” (II Corinthians 9: 7)

We all have a divine purpose. We have something significant to give in the greatness of our lives as well as in the day-to-day opportunities. As we recognize this intention, this right desire to share of our love, our goodness, our hope, our strength, we can trust it to lead us in a way that is fruitful.

But if giving seems like a burden or if we feel resentful or merely methodical in what we do, take a pause and reflect. Look again to what that purpose is, whether it is truly from God and therefore right for us. If our heart tells us this is God’s intent, then let that same heart feel the joy in that; let it gain power and energy and satisfaction from the fact of a holy intention, Love’s design to bless others and ourselves as well.

Joy is essential. Don’t let God’s work, your own daily business as you have been led to pursue it, become drudgery, too serious, or wearying. God’s loving purpose for you contains with it a natural enjoyment, uplift, and gratitude. Without recognizing and claiming this cheerful willingness, we lack in sincerity and our work will lack luster, power, and contentment.

Give freely of God’s rich intention. Share of His abundant goodness and rejoice that you are an essential expression of and recipient of God’s loving, purposeful Life.

Daily Inspiration, August 11th

Posted on August 11, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is the first and most important commandment. The second most important commandment is like this one. And it is, ‘Love others as much as you love yourself.’  All the Law of Moses and the Books of the Prophets are based on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22: 37-40, Contemporary English Version)

Jesus understood the law. He knew that all the good behavior and obedience espoused by the inspired prophets who preceded him, were squarely based on these two important principles.

We must surely begin with honoring God. But this action goes beyond simply recognizing His power and worshiping Him. We must love God fully, thoroughly, sincerely, and consistently. This love is not something we can put on or simulate through forced actions. It is pure and genuine. This honest love brings us right in line with God’s true and enduring love for us.

This great love for God is not difficult when we realize it means we must be devoted, heart and soul, to love and goodness itself. Loving God means loving what is natural to us, most pleasing, and satisfying.

And when we recognize that God abundantly, unconditionally loves us, we can’t help but love others, too. For divine Love made every idea—conceived them as the very image and expression of His own Love. Each one is lovable and worthy of God’s love, so, therefore, certainly worthy of ours. We can follow these powerful commandments with natural ease and freedom because we were born to love and to be loved. It’s the law!

Daily Inspiration, August 6th

“Jesus called the Twelve to him…He sent them off with these instructions: ‘Don’t think you need a lot of extra equipment for this. You are the equipment. No special appeals for funds. Keep it simple.’” (Mark 6: 7-9, Message Bible)

We are taking up where the twelve apostles left off. Jesus’s words apply completely to us as we go forth in our work, in our thoughts and actions. We have a purpose. We are called to carry out the holy intention of the healing Christ—to be the living proof of goodness and love—and we are fully equipped to do this.

For we are made of goodness and love. We have built-in resources—the reflected and powerful qualities of God that He gave us. Never belittle what you are and the infinite capacities of your life to achieve great things. Such a perspective belittles God. It is saying in effect that His creation is lacking, meager, weak, unprepared. In addition, it would suggest that God called us to do His holy work of love but didn’t love us enough to equip us sufficiently!

You are the equipment. You don’t need any tools outside of who you naturally are to do wonderful things and to please God in doing them. You don’t need extra money or time or human validation or great training and intellect. Keep it simple. Trust God and trust yourself, as His natural expression, to please Him, to truly succeed, to be all that you were so perfectly made to be!

“…it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” (Matthew 18: 14)

Your Father-Mother has no favorites. His Love is boundless and every idea that He conceived is one that He thoroughly and enduringly loves. Each one of us is safe in the certainty of God’s presence and His awareness of who we are, where we are, and why we are essential to His glorious expression.

God’s will is not destructive or neglectful. You can trust Him as a Shepherd that is able to care for you and for all the others as well. You can be so grateful that you are a sheep and that you needn’t worry your sweet little head over your own well-being or that of any of the other sheep in God’s infinite pasture. Your divine Shepherd knows His own and He loves them, keeps them, carries them, guides them, cleanses them, always brings them home.

Our Father’s heavenly consciousness, that presence that is peaceful reality, embraces each one of us and we each hear and naturally respond to His loving voice. He knows what every one of his little ones most need to find their way to safety and joy, and He can do this tending so much better, wiser, more effectively than we can.

No one is out of God’s care. Each is tenderly watched and expressively loved.

Daily Inspiration, July 30th

“Man is not a pendulum, swinging between evil and good, joy and sorrow, sickness and health, life and death.” (Science and Health, page 246)

You are not a pendulum. You are not blown back and forth by the wind of mortal mind’s whims and its unkind, material theories about life. You are not a pendulum, drawn back into a human past to survey loss or pain, swinging with no grounding either backward or forward into some wall that ends it all. You are absolutely and always grounded in Truth, the unchanging Principle. That loving Truth has designed your Life to live naturally and confidently and gracefully forward, at the perfect pace, safely and yet with surprises to discover.

A pendulum is a piece in a clock. It is hanging in time’s clutches. You are not a pendulum. You are grounded in the eternal Now, standing certain in each well-conceived moment, new to its promise and moving forward gratefully and gracefully under the control of infinite wisdom.

You are not swinging perpetually up and down, backwards and forwards. There isn’t a necessary backwards to every forward. God is in control. His law is progress, and His method is Love. You are free of time’s hold and held safely in divine Life’s upward, onward flight. Let go of the pendulum. Don’t buy that belief, that superstition. You are free to be joyful, healthy, whole, all the time, right now.

Daily Inspiration, July 28th

Posted on July 28, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“My prayer for you is that you may have still more love—a love that is full of knowledge and wise insight. I want you to be able always to recognise the highest and the best, and to live sincere and blameless lives until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1: 9-10, JB Phillips New Testament)

Paul’s sweet prayer is one that we can receive today. Let’s accept this blessing that would expand our sense of love. The Christ-message that Paul preached brought out for all a greater understanding of the Love that is God. It was not only a human sense of goodness, but a greater perception of divine Love as the only Creator, the one Source, and the very Father and Mother of us all.

This prayer would not only have us practice loving-kindness, but really, thoroughly recognize God as Love. It would wish for us to know the Truth of our unbreakable relationship with divine Love as the very children and witnesses to this powerful, healing force. With this awareness, we go beyond faith to a true and confident understanding and appreciation for what is ours to live and to share.

And Paul knew as we do, that if we really perceive God as Love and ourselves as His children, we can’t fail to desire to live in accord with this heritage. This consciousness of who we are uplifts our motives, clarifies our perception of life, and empowers us not only to want the highest and best, but to refuse to be anything less.

“Sincere and blameless lives” are natural to divine Love’s reflection. This prayer is not one which would try to change us into better men; it is one which reveals that we already are innately good, wise, and loving because our perfect God made us to be!

Daily Inspiration, July 23rd

Posted on July 23, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“The purpose and motive to live aright can be gained now. This point won, you have started as you should…and nothing but wrong intention can hinder your advancement.” (Science and Health, page 326)

Seize the day! Today, this moment, is your opportunity to live life rightly, truly, honestly, happily. Yesterday is irrelevant in this choice and the sooner you realize this, the easier it will be to continue forward progressively, yet naturally. If we are looking over our shoulder, our movement is likely to be unsteady, faltering, and we may just bump into something.

We can discover that right purpose and motive and by doing so, be led out of limits and into a life that is more suitable and good and therefore also productive. When we keep our intentions pure and sincere, there is nothing that can stop our accomplishing fresh and wonderful things that regenerate rather than deplete us.

We can make this conscious and conscientious decision to agree to be the worthy and wonderful children of God that we indeed are. We can choose in this precious moment to disagree with what human opinions, material circumstances, or personality would try to say about our lives and our potential. We can decide right now to be better than mortal mind’s accusations about us, and to walk with our heads high and our hearts full of love.

Our good intention aligns us with God, omnipotence, and so we have this great power behind us to advance, to live in accord with goodness, and to naturally bring blessings to others as well as to ourselves.

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.

“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.
