“Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.” (Mark 5:36, New American Standard Bible)

Trade fear for trust. We may have made a habit of being afraid, of accepting that we are fearful and that there is a reason for it. But we have another option, a better way, and we can choose it now.

Only believe. Simply and without reservation, believe. To believe is “to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something, even if one doesn’t have absolute proof.” This believing is faith, but we can know that this is not a trust that is blind. It is in knowing God that we can give up fear for confident reliance. With this believing, the cloud of fear dissolves and the proof of good is clear and evident.

Consciously remind yourself of God and His omnipotence. Recognize and feel in your heart what you know to be right and good, and don’t let the voices of the mortal mind talk you out of your trust. God is divine and infinite Love. He is good in every place and at all times. There is no room for fear in Love, and there is really nothing but Love going on.

Don’t be afraid. Simply believe. Enjoy the sweet freedom of giving up now and decisively all cowering and paranoia and mesmerized thinking and fretting. It isn’t a great stretch to do this. Only believe. Let yourself trust, love, and live in the awareness of God and His grace. This is not only freeing, it is protecting, saving, and healing.

Daily Inspiration, February 10th

Posted on February 10, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Each successive stage of experience unfolds new views of divine goodness and love.” (Science and Health, page 66)

Life is always progressive, new, exciting, satisfying. Cast aside and banish for good the belief of aging, diminishing, and of phases of life as fitting into some expected box of pains and even of pleasures.

God is bigger than that. Your Life is grander than a set of years in time and expected outcomes. Each “stage of experience” is God’s unfolding of good. It is Soul’s own conscious expression to us and for us, of a new aspect of His own glorious nature. There is nothing limited about the Almighty. There is nothing less than lovely and satisfying about divine Love’s gifts for each day.

God’s wholeness is forever. All is complete. What He gives us each day, at each stage in our natural and necessary growth in understanding and in grace, is a new view of this amazing Life He expresses. The Infinite One isn’t about human limits or about merely settling for the inevitable next thing. God is boundless with His ideas and we are the proof of that diversity, sparkle, creativity, and originality.

Leave your Life to God and not to false limits and predictions about it. Release yourself to His activity. Let God open the windows each day on a new view—on stimulating and satisfying ideas and the fearless promise of our boundless Life to gratefully receive, willingly accept, and fully enjoy.

Daily Inspiration, February 5th

“…and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by [Jesus] of their infirmities.  And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.” (Luke 5: 15-16)

Jesus’s mission was a great one. Multitudes thronged to hear and to be healed. He was on the spot, called to do great things and to do them with accuracy and from a heart of love. Those hungry people yearned to be fed with the Truth Jesus knew and practiced.

But, Jesus needed to be fed as well. He left those dear ones in the hands of His and their Father, while he went into the wilderness to pray. The Master knew what he needed and that it was essential to his accomplishing his work for mankind. He had to take moments away from the clamor of others’ needs, the noise of the world’s cares, and find his peace with God. Jesus took time and space for conscious communion with his Father, listening to His intention, direction, and feeling the sweet love himself.

When we feel overwhelmed by those in need and by the multitude of daily responsibilities, head out into the wilderness and pray. In other words, allow yourself the tender, specific care of God. Take a devoted moment or day or week to hear what God has to say, just for you. Do as Jesus did and don’t make excuses as to why you can’t step aside mentally and sometimes physically, to withdraw from the noise, recharge with divine power, and regain your peace.

The multitudes are safe. And when you return to see to what needs to be done, it will feel like a mission that is natural and invigorating, right and fulfilling rather than burdensome and lonely and hard.

Daily Inspiration, February 3rd

Posted on February 3, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“He that touches the hem of Christ’s robe and masters his mortal beliefs, animality, and hate, rejoices in the proof of healing,–in a sweet and certain sense that God is Love.” (Science and Health, page 569)

What does it mean to touch the hem of Christ’s garment? Well, first off, it surely must mean a measure of faith, a willingness to believe—even if not perhaps to fully understand—that the Truth is able to set us free. It is coming into the presence of the Truth of God and of man as His child, and wanting to know more.

It also takes humility. To touch the hem of Christ’s robe is to do what the woman in the press did with Jesus, and was healed of a long-standing condition by her action. It is going to our knees before the higher idea of man and of God. It is humbling that sense of self and self-justification, and simply kneeling before God’s wisdom and Love.

This humbling receptivity, this willingness, requires that we relinquish its opposite. We can’t be willful and full of our own opinions. We can’t keep clinging to those things that would keep that garment of divine Love out of reach—hatred, resentment, false pleasures and reliances, material limits. We have to give up arguing for the reasons why not and simply honor the goodness of the Christ, rejoicing in the power of this Truth and in the sweet certainty of God’s healing Love.

Daily Inspiration, January 29th

Posted on January 29, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Jesus said (John viii. 51), ‘If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.’ That statement is not confined to spiritual life, but includes all the phenomena of existence.” (Science and Health, page 429-430)

Jesus’s promise is a complete treatment for our lives. Keeping his saying, abiding by the Master’s assertion that there is one God, perfect good, and that we are His children and heirs, is an obedience that defies death’s threats.

Mrs. Eddy clarifies that what Jesus spoke of went beyond an assertion that our spiritual lives alone will endure if we trust the Truth of God he declared and demonstrated. Every aspect of life, all the phenomena of existence, must surely be lifted out of a belief in finiteness into its true limitlessness.

Jesus proved that a knowledge of God as Life, and of his own oneness with that Father-Mother-Life, gave him the power to transcend the cross. He knew this relationship to be true for all of us, or he would not have been able to raise back to life Lazarus and others who had died, to material sense.

Apply Jesus’s saying, his promise of infinite Life, to every aspect of existence. In this understanding, there can be no death to good at all. There can be no death to opportunities, no death to enthusiasm, no death to joy, no death to love, no end at all to anything that God’s good Life must naturally and eternally express.

Daily Inspiration, January 27th

“…Christ has blessed you with the Holy Spirit. Now the Spirit stays in you, and you don’t need any teachers. The Spirit is truthful and teaches you everything. So stay one in your heart with Christ, just as the Spirit has taught you to do.” (I John 2: 27, Contemporary English Version)

You have your instructor always with you. The Christ-light which you have accepted as valid and true, the reality of man and God, remains with you. This light does not need another person to light it, interpret it, or explain it. It is written in your heart by Spirit itself, by God’s own loving revelation, and this Truth is always right where you are to be realized and demonstrated.

This certainly does not mean we have to go everything alone. We must surely be willing to receive of God’s generous provision of ideas shared by others through inspiration and love, when it feels right and true to us. It also doesn’t mean that we aren’t able to, even required to, help others recognize, remember, reclaim that light of Truth. But just stay clear in recognizing that another’s human interpretation of the Truth is just that—their interpretation. Someone’s personal understanding of God is not entirely pure and may not be right for you, nor may yours be just right for them.

You don’t need an intermediary. God’s voice to you is right with you, teaching you every day, at just the right pace for your life and in a unique way that suits your individuality. The Christ has left that instructive Holy Spirit with us, revealing the ever active law that is ours because it remains in our heart, because we have continued to love it.

Daily Inspiration, January 22nd

Posted on January 22, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].” (Psalms 5: 3, Amplified Bible)

A waking thought of God and a prayer to Him is a powerful and assuring beginning to our day. Our part in God’s day is to turn to Him with willingness and receptivity. And there is sacrifice and silent patience involved as well.

What do we need to sacrifice? We must give up a belief in personal control. We must relinquish our pre-conceived notions about what we want or what is right and good. We must offer up our reliance on and preoccupation with others and what they are thinking and any undue focus on that which is material, unlike God Who is infinite Spirit.

God is with us and His clear and pure thoughts are always available to us. His Love is precise and powerful and present. We can open our eyes to the morning and let His sun rise upon our darkness, revealing what is just right for this day at a time that is just right for us and for all.

God is with you when you wake, ready to Love you into your day, for He has never left you. He watched over you all night and will be with you in every moment of His glorious new day.

Daily Inspiration, January 20th

Posted on January 20, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Father-Mother is the name for Deity, which indicates His tender relationship to His spiritual creation.” (Science and Health, page 332)

How do we think of God? Are we setting Him apart from ourselves by believing He is out of reach and we are simply way beneath Him, reaching out for Him? Do we think that His Love for us is without intimacy and immediacy, and simply a grand ungraspable expanse that we are trying to become acquainted better with, to get some small glimpse of?

The Deity, the divine and only power and Creator, is our Father-Mother. This is not a relationship at a distance, or one that is without tenderness, conscious awareness, care, patience, and a knowing and devoted love. We are His very own children, His dear little ones, born out of and because of Love, and always the proof of His own name. A Father-Mother is what He is because He has children. This is God’s nature and we are the beneficiaries.

This tender relationship is based on pure affection and dedication. God is our individual and collective parent, with no favorites, but with a very particular love for each of us. This Love is what makes us who we are, what nurtures us to grow into maturity of understanding and at the same time remain simply, sweetly, necessarily, dear children, just as our Mother-Father-Love would always have us be.

Daily Inspiration, January 15th

”Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.” (James 4: 3)

All things are possible to God. Prayer can reveal healing, perfection, peace. Are we asking rightly? Are we making demands on God according to our wishes and wants rather than yielding up our desires for God’s higher design?

Asking amiss means using human will to pray for divine benefits; telling God, the all-knowing, our sense of what is best and right and needed. This willful asking can also often be selfish, seeing only our side and not taking others into consideration, as God’s will must always do. He sees and knows all. He is Father-Mother to all. Your needs met do not collide with another’s. They harmonize, when we leave those needs to God’s perfect Mind and activity.

We also may be asking amiss and not receiving because we are praying to the wrong God. Are we praying to One that we feel is trustworthy and capable, or are we praying to a god that we somehow think is arbitrary or needs convincing of our goodness and of his own? Are we praying to a god of matter, or One of Spirit? Are we praying to a god who has limits, or are we praying to the Infinite Almighty?

Ask and receive. Know to Whom you pray and honor Him for that richness, goodness, and wisdom. Yield up the human will for the divine will. This does not leave you in the hands of fate, or possible failure. It leaves you in the hands of infinite, intelligent, perfect, all-seeing, always-active, perfecting, cleansing, healing, merciful, saving Love.

Daily Inspiration, December 13th

Posted on January 13, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“…set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.” (Colossians 3: 2)

Keep your thoughts on high. Let the things of heaven linger with you and don’t be quick to come back down to earth. Remain faithful to the good, the healing, the holy, the true.

Material things and circumstances, personalities, regrets of the past and worries for the future, all constitute those earthly things that would mesmerize our thinking and paralyze our lives. An undue focus on the body and what it is doing or not doing will distract us unnecessarily from the peace and well-being that is rightfully ours.

Think of the higher things. Think of God, good, of Life that is eternal and loving and true, and stay with those things. When a lovely idea that feels safe and comforting and healing enters your thought; when gratitude and love and patience and gentleness have their moment, don’t be so quick to forget them, to replace them with the limiting lies of mortal life.

Your thought is a natural receiver of God’s ideas. Make room for them and let them settle in for a while. Let those right ideas establish themselves and be a more natural way of thinking, bringing that heavenly sense of well-being to earth, and revealing the Truth of Life— the one that isn’t stuck on the ground, but always ready to be free and to fly!
