Daily Inspiration, October 15th

“Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord…” (Psalms 25: 15)

This perspective is one that will give us a clear vision. Keeping our eyes—our spiritual perception and focus—toward God, will always lead us to Truth, to satisfaction, to what is right and loving and good.

The psalmist knew that when he was looking away from God and conscious of circumstances, the actions of man, and sense testimony, he would miss out on what was real and righteous. He would be turning away from the vital thoughts and guidance that would make him feel confident, peaceful, and free.

Keeping our eyes toward the Lord (and redirecting them there when they get misled and distracted) keeps us looking into the face of goodness, Love, and to the very reality of our own life, as it truly is, not as the human senses might lead us to believe. In God are infinite and gracious possibilities. There is assurance and approval and the most honest view of ourselves.

God is the one true Mind and Life. He is our faithful and wise guide in all things, and we are His image. So when we look to God; when we see the qualities that divine Love must naturally express, we are able to have our eyes naturally opened to just who we truly are, and to just why God’s eyes are ever and lovingly toward us.

Daily Inspiration, October 13th

Posted on October 13, 2015 by LauraMoliter

 

“Know thyself, and God will supply the wisdom and the occasion for a victory over evil.” (Science and Health, page 571)

What does it mean to know thyself? It’s an important question if we are to obtain that true wisdom and opportunity to overcome evil in our lives. If we are to really live our good life, then it is important to know who we really are.

This quote echoes the sentiments of Shakespeare and other inspired writers and thinkers. The bard said “to thine own self be true.” This is imperative to claiming the rewards that are inherently ours. If we attempt to be someone we are not or to accept less than we are, we dishonor our own heritage and separate ourselves from the natural good that comes of being just who God made us to be.

We will come to know ourselves truly not by what genetics or human history or opinions would say about us. We discover who we are by having a heart-to-heart with God, with Love. It is by turning to God for the good news; it is by recognizing and accepting that we were made by a wise and perfect God Who has maintained us lovingly and fully approves of the idea He made. It is by honoring Him enough to refuse to put on qualities that do not dignify God or us; traits that don’t make us feel safe, peaceful, or truly happy and right. It is also by loving just who we are, without comparison to others, cherishing this uniqueness, and recognizing the power of being authentic.

The victory over evil—a false sense of God and our own identity as His child—is not a distant hope. It is found right where you are. It is being true to you and knowing just how amazing and good and worthy you are!

Daily Inspiration, October 8th

“Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. They go from strength to strength…” (Psalms 84: 5-7)

Let your strength be in God. When we lean on His power and His Love, we are able to endure and even to really flourish. The valley of Baca referred to here is also called the Valley of Weeping. When we seem to find ourselves lost in grief, discouragement, frustration, or pain; when we feel lost and alone or afraid, we have a ready reliance and a blessing at hand.

Those very valleys of hardship are precious and often necessary opportunities to give up personal bravery and responsibility and to allow ourselves to humbly let God be God. The Almighty is able to carry you through those low places, wiping your tears away; reminding you of what is true and real and right; telling you that your life is not at the mercy of matter and that you are not the one who carries all the cares on your shoulders.

God is our guide and our protection. He is strong and wise and loving. His leading is loving and natural. It is step by step, day by day, strength to strength. Personal courage is not needed. Rest your weary self on the true power of God and find the real and steady strength of a sweet and satisfying release to the power and presence of God’s Love.

Daily Inspiration, October 6th

Posted on October 6, 2015 by LauraMoliter

 

“Do as God does. After all, you are his dear children.  Let love be your guide.”  (Ephesians 5: 1-2, Contemporary English Version)

God is Love. We are the very children of divine Love. Kindness, compassion, gentleness, affection, tender regard, respect, understanding, is our very nature. We were made to express Love and to receive it as well.

So, follow God’s built-in intention as you think and live. Let that genuine Love that is God lead you, and follow without timidity or argument. The loving way is always the right and effective way because it has God, Principle, Truth behind it. And remember that divine Love, that most perfect Love of God, knows how to love better, more comprehensively, and more powerfully than we might humanly conceive. Allow that higher and truer Love to love you first. Receive this unconditional love unconditionally, without argument, and gratefully. And then it will be easy to utilize that Love toward others in a way that is right and healing.

Do as God does. This isn’t hardship or above us. It is being true to our own selves. It is a sweet release to those qualities that are the very substance of who we are. It is letting go of self and judgment and fear and allowing ourselves to be free and feel whole. It is laying off that heavy burden of personal sense and its complicated thinking, protectiveness, and worry, and simply being the object and expression of easy, natural, powerful, unifying, harmonizing Love.

Daily Inspiration, October 1st

Posted on October 1, 2015 by LauraMoliter

 

“…Jesus once said, ‘Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,’ — presuming not on the prerogative of his creator, but recognizing God, the Father and Mother of all, as able to feed and clothe man as He doth the lilies.” (Science and Health, page 530)

Jesus knew he was cared for by God. He was always conscious that he was at one with God and a grateful recipient of all that his Father-Mother had and expressed. Jesus never took for granted this supply of inspiration, power, and loving provision.

And he knew, as well, that he wasn’t getting special treatment. Jesus was telling us that everyone can rely on God alone to be their ever-capable provider and protector. He recognized God as the Father and Mother of us all, showing no favoritism, but by nature of His Love, ready and forthcoming always with all that each one of us needs each moment.

And this perfect care for us by God does not require personal thought or worry or some special knowledge; nor do we need to fight for our portion of good. There is enough for all. God’s riches are plentiful and just right for us. The lilies don’t need to toil to get the sunshine to shine upon them or the rain to fall upon their sweet blossoms. Likewise, God’s light of Life and His showers of goodness are ours freely, because we are—just as Jesus was—the very child of Her heart and at one with all that is good and the capacity to willingly, gratefully receive the bounty.

Daily Inspiration, September 29th

Posted on September 29, 2015 by LauraMoliter

 

“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

Posted on September 22, 2015 by LauraMoliter

 

“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

“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!
