“Only God can keep you from falling and make you pure and joyful in his glorious presence. Before time began and now and forevermore, God is worthy of glory, honor, power, and authority. Amen.” (Jude 1: 24-25, Contemporary English Version)

You are safe. You are secure in God’s keeping because His Almighty hand holds you above the threats of mortal sense and the fears which attend a belief in material life, time, and limits.

Human will-power, physical force, and luck, are not able to keep us thriving, happy, free, protected, pure. It is only God that has this power, because it is His presence and love that assures our well-being. Because He is the Mind, the Life, the Truth, God’s creation is under His control. Knowing this and obeying Him—acknowledging and resting in His law, His authority—we find ourselves to be sheltered from fear, failure, and grief. We are held in God’s arms that both comfort us and protect us.

The first and final Word is God, good. He made us and we abide in Him. In this heaven of His consciousness, His Love, we remain as we are and always have been—the very loved of God—no matter what the senses might want to accuse us of. We cannot fall from grace for God never lost a single idea or let it become less perfect than the one that He made and eternally loves.

Amen!

Daily Inspiration, May 14th

Posted on May 14, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!” (Psalms 46: 10, Amplified Bible)

God will be, must be exalted above all. He must be seen and worshipped, known as the one and only power and supreme over the earth and all that is in it. This right recognition of God is a prayer that does not strive and struggle to know God through human intelligence or actions.

The supremacy of good, of Life, of Love is found by being still and letting God be what He already and always is. It is that release of control, of worry, of doubt and fear, to acceptance. This is not about giving up and agreeing to live with challenges and troubles. It is about pausing for comfort, enlightenment, and that acknowledgment of God’s presence that is necessary if we are to truly feel and know the protection and affection of His loving law.

Let it be. Be still. Accept that God is over all and that His goodness is for you. By exalting His name; by letting Him be the One Mind and Life and Truth, we are released from the confusion and burden of being in charge. Recognize and understand that God, being All and in All, has your life, you, and the whole earth safely and perfectly in the palm of His loving hand.

Daily Inspiration, May 12th

“Put up with each other, and forgive anyone who does you wrong, just as Christ has forgiven you. Love is more important than anything else. It is what ties everything completely together.” (Colossians 3: 13-14, Contemporary English Version)

Love is the supreme solution. The Christ comes to teach and demonstrate the power of Love and our need to fully realize it and express it. Love ties everything completely together, as this version of the passage reminds us. Without Love, there is confusion, uncertainty, lack of peace individually and as a world.

Never underestimate the power of Love. Love is not merely a personal, human thing we feel and practice either in certain instances or with specific goals in mind. Love is God. It is infinite power and presence and it is the very fabric of Life as it truly is. To discover and live the reality of this heaven, this Life that is Love, we must accept its presence and express it freely, honestly, and gratefully.

We are all united by God, by divine Love. We naturally have this bond with all mankind, with every living thing. To deny this or to defy this Truth is to go against what is natural and right and real. To hate or resent when we can love and forgive is to resist the natural order of things, and this is going to be tough going. We can’t find heaven if we are accepting and expressing hell.

Lean into the presence of Love. Accept this wonderful forgiveness that the Christ preached, lifting ourselves out of self-condemnation and blame. And let this Love, gladly received, be shared freely and without qualification. This is power, joy, and peace. This is the living Christ!

Daily Inspiration, May 7th

Posted on May 7, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Let your hope make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble and never stop praying.” (Romans 12: 12, Contemporary English Version)

Trust the hopefulness that you feel in spite of trouble. Deep inside, whether it is strong or a simple flicker, there is a natural hope, a belief in salvation, renewal, peace. This flame in us is God’s own voice, one that will always be with us to encourage us. For while the world may present obstacles and limits and lies, the Truth of God remains in you and me, for God put it there.

This is a cause for gladness. That small or great hope for oneself and for our world is an indication of the promise. It is God telling us that we can win; that we can conquer the challenges and see the goodness of His kingdom, the unchanging reality of Life. So, we can be grateful for this hope and nurture it. We can refuse to question that glimmer of goodness we feel, or that smile that comes in spite of an array of human problems. We can love that hope because it is the way home.

Prayer cultivates that hope. When we pray, we take that seed and water it, focusing our attention on what is good and right and loving. Then we can patiently and gratefully perceive each little bloom that appears; each new discovery of good that not only shows progress, but gives new colors to our lives before unseen. Our patience is not mere tolerance. It is loving our sweet hope enough to let it blossom into its full flowering glory, in God’s way—the right way—and to reveal that glorious garden that has always been ready for us to enjoy.

Daily Inspiration, May 5th

Posted on May 5, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“In order to pray aright, we must enter into the closet and shut the door. We must close the lips and silence the material senses. In the quiet sanctuary of earnest longings, we must deny sin and plead God’s allness.”  (Science and Health, page 15)

The most effective prayer is one that is all about God. To really be at one with His purpose and in full awareness of His loving goodness, we must deny that which is unlike Him, those other “gods” that would divide our loyalty and muddy our clear and certain answer.

Take your devotion to God, to Spirit, Life and Love, into the closet of your prayer. Your “earnest longings” are allowed in. That yearning heart that seeks a better understanding of God and His presence demonstrates receptive humility and a readiness to believe what God would tell us in this sacred place.

Our prayer is about God. God is Spirit. He is Love. He isn’t impressed with or swayed by complaint, a recounting of symptoms and lack and sins. These must be denied a hearing, so that God, Truth, can have His healing moment with us. God does not need to know our problems for He is active in being the solution, the fullness, the completeness, the Love that the human sense would yearn to know.

Quiet the words and do your best to turn away from the senses. Then your prayer will be one that is listening for the Word of Truth with a stillness that is ready to hear it and to be embraced in the loving, healing allness of God.

Daily Inspiration, April 30th

Posted on April 30, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 15: 5-6)

The Christ message was one of unity. Jesus came preaching and proving the power and presence of divine Love. This Love is God and it does not argue or compete. This Love is not colored by bias or judgment, nor does it make any exceptions.

We believe in one God. If we are to obey this one God we must obey this one Love, for God is Love. The goodness and healing that Jesus taught through his awareness of his relationship with God must actively continue through his followers. If we claim the Christ-message as true and valid and right and powerful, then we must proclaim and live it accurately. That honors God and the graceful gift of the Christ.

Let’s be true to Love and recognize the pure agreement that is in God, Mind. We can release the sense of many minds with many motives, and let divine Love be expressed by us. We can realize just how much more powerful we are for good when we are unified by that which we love and He who loves us.

God’s Love expressed with a sense of kindness and respect toward one another sufficiently glorifies Him and makes the name of Truth and Life and Love known in every place, with signs of harmony, joy, and true peace following.

Daily Inspiration, April 28th

Posted on April 28, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Be alert and on your guard; stand firm in your faith (your conviction respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, keeping the trust and holy fervor born of faith and a part of it). Act like men and be courageous; grow in strength!” (I Corinthians 16: 13, Amplified Bible)

You can be strong and vigilant. You have the power to stand firm and ready to beat back the enemy of sense and self and to emerge triumphant. Don’t give in to a sense of weakness, victimization, or fear. You are more powerful than those demeaning accusations.

It is not by human will that we are made mighty, able to keep our watch and to win the battle. It is by our “conviction” about our relationship with God. It is because we stay firm in the awareness that we are one with God at all times and in every condition, and therefore naturally and eternally inseparable from His might, presence, and unopposed certainty. It is by our reliance that we have strength equal to each day’s devilish temptations and fears and evils.

So, to “act like men” is to act like ourselves. It is to agree to be God’s man or woman. It is to lay claim to our real being. It is to honor our true name and nature as the son and daughter of God, forever at one with all that He is and protected by His constant Love. We can “grow in strength” as we grow in our awareness of our true heritage and its enduring promise of safety, satisfaction, life, and peace.

Daily Inspiration, April 23rd

Posted on April 23, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house [the consciousness] of [Love] for ever.” (Science and Health, page 578)

This last verse of the inspired 23rd Psalm, as illuminated by Mary Baker Eddy, is a fitting conclusion to any prayer. It reminds us of what is real and true now and what certainly must be so going forward. This verse recognizes and honors the ever-presence of the Mind that is God, therefore infinite, immortal, and perfect.

This prayer does not plead with God. It recognizes and trusts what God is, acknowledges it, and rests in the comfort that awareness brings. Surely, since Our Father-Mother is good and deathless and complete, merciful blessings will be with us, His children, forever. We are the very ideas and expressions of His perpetual purpose.

Our house is consciousness. Our true home is our thinking; it is in that which we acknowledge as true and accept and dwell with. We can have our physical abode in a mansion and yet be uncomfortable because our thought is not at peace. We can live in a tiny hut and feel joyful and grateful, if our thinking is content.

The surest way to know our happy home is to claim the truth in this verse. We can and do dwell in God’s consciousness, in the Mind that is Love, and this Love dwells within us. We can gratefully release the sense of personal control over our lives to the One Consciousness that is never wrong, never frightened, never alone, and never unkind. We can know with confidence and accept that we live in Love, with Love, and because of Love, now and forever.

Daily Inspiration, April 21st

Posted on April 21, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“Mark the blameless man and behold the upright, for there is a happy end for the man of peace.” (Psalms 37: 37, Amplified Bible)

A man of integrity, righteousness, purity, and peace surely must reap the rewards of such qualities. There is true satisfaction and real happiness for such a one as this, for he feels content in his own being.

This happy end is available to every one of us. In ourselves and in others, we can behold, truly perceive, that blameless man. This pure ideal is not an aspiration beyond any one of us. It is the truth of all of us. Jesus preached and practiced this principle. As he saw and honored the real man, the one that God made and not the one that mortal beliefs would present, healing came about; the reality of perfection was revealed. The man full of shame and doubt, of evil and of mistaken motives, was cast out and off, and the real man emerged, radiant with goodness.

We can see what Jesus saw and what the inspired psalmist recommends in the passage cited. We can look upon ourselves not as our human judgment would paint us—ignorant, fearful, limited, bad, foolish, lost—but as God designed and created us to be. We can recognize the Truth of our being and see that goodness in others as well.

God did not make sin or sinners. He made men of peace, of Love, of innocence and integrity. Let’s rejoice in actively beholding and being this blameless man of God and gratefully experience the happiness of being and seeing God’s peaceful creation everywhere.

Daily Inspiration, April 16th

Posted on April 16, 2015 by LauraMoliter

“…God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” (I John 1: 5)

God creates and constitutes reality. He is the substance of all Life and the nature of all that exists. God’s qualities make up the universe. His Truth and Love made and continue to sustain all things. And this divine Truth and Love are without any darkness, any impediment, any lack, any evil or error.

God is all light, and this is our safety and our strength and our foundation. Light dispels darkness not by force of will or battle, but by simply being light. God’s radiance is infinite, active Love. This light can’t be touched by a belief in hate, lies, evil. The light’s presence naturally dispels the dark, makes it nothing but an attempt to be something in a place where it can never exist.

When we think of God, do we see Him as having an evil, vindictive side? Or do we credit Him with punishment we or others receive? Do we see Him with some ulterior or mixed motive or method? He is all light, John says here. There is no darkness at all in our God. The beliefs to the contrary are graven images. Merely calling something god doesn’t give it power to be godlike, have control, presence, or potency.

God is light. We dwell in Him and are always both the object and the evidence of His radiant and eternal flame of Life and Love.
