Being Free Now

“…as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we all should walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6: 4)

Jesus’s resurrection was proof of everlasting Life, a demonstration of God’s glorious power and love for man. It confirms for all of us that not only are we God’s immortal ideas, we are meant to be made new with this understanding every day. We can demonstrate a resurrected state of thought in each moment, and live the freshness that is ours to celebrate.

As Paul tells us in this verse, Christ was raised from the dead by the Father and His glory. So we can recognize that our own renewing is not by human action and accomplishment either, but by the glory of God. It comes to us naturally through the fact of our own Christly nature as the reflection of God’s own being, His conscious and perpetual living. We can recognize who we really are, just as Jesus did, and go forward in this knowledge.

Knowing that we are always at one with God, perfect Life, we can experience a life that feels full and new.
Let’s not hesitate to walk in this resurrected consciousness. It is never too soon and it is never too late. Every day demands a renewed outlook, a fresh awareness of Life and goodness. Each hour beckons us into a grateful acceptance that this refreshing is God’s requirement for us; it is just as divinely natural for us to rise up and feel brand new, as it was for Jesus to emerge from death’s tomb into the full demonstration of glorious Life!

“God has countless ideas, and they all have one Principle and parentage.” (Science and Health, page 517)

Our One Principle is divine Love, the Truth that sets us free. This is our Parent, our Father and Mother, and so that makes all of us brothers and sisters. God’s ideas are countless and diverse. They all naturally express His nature and character, as a child would be the image of his parent.

There are no adopted children, no black sheep, no step kids. All belong to God legitimately and without question. God is wonderfully made evident in His children, in the way in which they carry on His intention and declare the true heritage of good through their being and in their lives. This perfect Principle which gave birth to us all is divine Love. Our Parent is Mind and makes no mistakes. All were born of a loving union of right ideas, and She is greatly pleased with each one of us.

Let’s own up to our family connections. They will get us everywhere! And they also leave no one out. Our Father-Mother does not play favorites and has enough goodness for all. He is equally loving and giving to each one of His own ideas, because each idea is such a perfect proof of Himself, of that very true Love that is rich in beauty, intelligence, gentleness, strength, goodness, and vital, wonderful Life!

“…now is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than we believed.” (Romans 13: 11)

It’s that time. No more sluggishness. No more putting off spiritual awareness to linger in matter, the familiar but unsatisfying dream. What are we waiting for? Is there a better day than today to fully and enthusiastically accept our salvation, the saving recognition that we are the children of God, spiritual and good? Get up and do it!

Let’s approach today like a child on Christmas morning. Let’s come into it with a spirit of excitement and expectation, a willingness to accept the gifts of goodness and love that are brought into our presence, especially for us. Let’s set aside pre-conceived adult notions that we must be perfect humans in order to be divine ideas and to receive the blessings that come with that identity. Let’s not insult our Father-Mother by denying Him the opportunity to Love us with unconditional goodness and grace.

Salvation is at hand for God is at hand, but He is not found by pondering matter and material circumstances. He can’t be realized through physicality, physiology, or in other people or events. He is bigger than that and also more intimately right, true, and loyal in His active presence and Love.

You are His treasured child. Wake up and see yourself as He sees you. Accept the sacred, saving consciousness that you are an immortal idea of the everlasting Father-Mother-Love. Now is the time and right here is the place to claim and express your full and fruitful and lovable Life, without reservation, without hesitation, and with a grateful celebration!

“…the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (John 14: 26)

Jesus reminded the world of the Truth within each of us. He came demonstrating our sweet and certain relationship with God, our status and joy as children of our Father-Mother-Love. We heard the good news from Jesus and it has echoed through the ages because of its enduring Truth, forever alive and active.

The great Truth-teller is no longer walking among men, but the Holy Ghost is here every day to remind us of what Jesus taught and proved. This is our faithful reminder, an ever-present Principle at hand and always actively awakening us to our identity and the reality of heaven at hand. This Holy Ghost is divine Science, that which touches the human thought with the healing Truth.

This is the eternal Comforter, a teacher and a counselor. This Christ-Truth is never absent, and its purpose is to remind us what is right and true. The Holy Ghost is not an ethereal being without substance. It is God’s Word reaching and convincing human minds and hearts with the Truth of man’s oneness with God, through the activity of perfect Love.

This Comforter was foretold by Jesus, for he knew its presence. It endures forever as the tender Truth of our everlasting Life, of goodness that has no boundary and no end, always present and with a purpose to save and to heal.

“God is infinite, therefore ever present, and there is no other power nor presence.” (Science and Health, page 471)

God is present and in the present. He is right where you are at all times, and the only power and substance to every moment, this very one, right now. God, perfect Truth, fills this place of Being, of Life, of consciousness. God and His active presence is truly all that is ever going on. We can’t escape it, deny it, or defy it. There is only God, boundless Love, to this precious moment.

This is our reliable reliance. We can know and be grateful for the fact that no matter where human thought might go or which material circumstances may want to draw us in, the only Truth to the situation and to you in it, is God and His Love. The Almighty One does not share His presence with any other power. Infinity is filled with God and we are forever His ideas, the very evidence that He is All and always and right and good.

We don’t need to look over there, back to a past time, or toward a future life or understanding. God is in our presence presently. He is fully here now and we will never be closer to Him and His loving reality than we are at this very instant. Be still with this realization. Claim it as your own state of being. Wrap yourself up in this Truth of God’s faithfulness, nearness, sweetness, and power. You are in Love. Relish this fact and rejoice, right here, right now!

“Identity is the reflection of Spirit, the reflection in multifarious forms of the living Principle, Love.” (Science and Health, page 477)

Who am I? Who are you? We are the very reflection of Spirit. This is our identity, the truth of us, our nature and essence. Nothing about Spirit is bound up in personality and limits of physicality or physiology. Our identity isn’t a combination of genes or environment. We are the very expression of Spirit’s infinite ideal.

God has formed us out of His own qualities. We are an expression of all that He is and that He loves. Our identity is individual and original, but it always complies with the original Principle. This is a given, a guarantee, and our reliance. This fact of your real heritage makes you amazing, of a character beyond compare and yet always reiterating the original Principle.

That Principle is Love. And it is “living” Love, a law of Being that stands forever immutable, and yet moves, expresses, acts. Our identity is that which is the necessary expression of a Principle that is alive, that is Life. And that wonderful Life that we are living and being is always and only Love. You are made of Love and made to Love. And since this divine Love has infinite ways of being expressed, God has made infinite ideas—you and me and all—to do this.

Who am I and who are you? We are Love’s intention carried out, alive, active, and always and now just right.

“…this is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” (I John 1: 5)

Jesus told us the Truth. We can believe him and join his followers in declaring and walking in the full light of this knowledge. God is all that is good and right and loving. He is Life and Truth and in Him is not a single vestige of ugliness, evil, ignorance, destruction. This is Our God, the only One, and a cause for gratitude and continual praise.

This light in Him is the light in us. We have this radiant goodness within us and as the very nature of our being. We can accept without reservation the fullness of this good news of God and what it means for each one of us. When we look for or expect darkness, negativity, a down side, we are really only believing lies, attributing evil to Omnipotent God, the Infinite good. There is no darkness in Him at all. None. Zilch. Zero.

Let’s bask in that wondrous light and believe it. Let’s know that no shadow of fear or limitation, sickness or sin, can have reality in Life, in the God that is all and only perfect good. There are no exceptions or qualifications in this mighty declaration from I John. This realization of the reality of God’s changeless and infinite radiance brought healing to Jesus and his early followers, and is still powerfully and faithfully here to enlighten our way and lighten our load today.

“I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.” (Isaiah 41: 18)

The rivers and fountains of God’s rich supply and glorious beauty are now present and available. This wonderful abundance does not suddenly appear in dry places, in our depressed states, in our fear, in our sense of lack. This fullness was always and already there for our use.

Every good and needful thing is in God, a quality of His Being and therefore always present, perfect, complete, and overflowing. His pure pool of renewal is not held deep in the earth of human analysis or back or forward in time. His refreshment of opportunity isn’t off in a distant land or after some human even takes place or a shred of luck comes our way.

The abundance is already right where we are. To find it, we must open our spiritual eyes to its presence and our perfect right to use it, for it will never waste and its inspired activity only causes it to multiply. The right ideas for a full life are already right where you are. Opportunity is as ever-present as God. Material sense limits, but it also lies. There is a wellspring beneath your feet and a rose bush blooming in your midst. Open your eyes to the nature of God and you will see that Love always has your good in Mind and it is always in easy, natural, comfortable reach.

“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” (Matthew 5: 6)

Cleanse yourself of all the complicated desires that always feel either unsatisfying or just too much. Let go of that thought that human wants must be constantly met by material things. Listen to Jesus’s words. He knew what it meant to claim a blessing and also recognized the very thing that would seem to keep those treasures out of reach.

Let’s nurture those higher desires—not the cravings of sense but the call of Soul into its promises. Let’s come to where our first thoughts in the morning are ones which seek God’s will and His way, rather than outlining experiences we might dread or those that might give us pleasure. Let’s have the last thoughts as we close our eyes be not of worry or doubt or reliving every detail of today or planning (or bracing) for tomorrow’s activities. Let’s instead rest in that right desire to know God’s peace, simple and sweet and His alone to lovingly give and to securely keep.

It comes to watching our thought. But that vigilance shouldn’t feel like a burden. It’s a sweet opportunity to let go of our habits and seeming material needs, so that God’s bigger, grander, more satisfying ideas can take natural place in our thinking, and lead our experience. This right desire sets us free to live the good life, one that God made for us—one which isn’t merely about fleshly pleasures, but about an ongoing, permanent, deep, satisfying, grateful goodness and true peace.

“The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up they bed and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walk.” (John 5: 7-9)

How often do we think we are impotent, having no power to get up and walk away from trouble and sickness and confusion? Do we like this man stand looking toward the pool, the magic fountain of healing possibilities, and get transfixed by this supposed answer to all our problems, that seems so close and yet elusive for us?

Perhaps we need a more active approach. Perhaps we need to turn from ourselves as needy and powerless and somehow missing out on what others seem to be freely receiving. Maybe we need to step out of the line and open our eyes to our own ability to be free. Jesus didn’t pick this man out because he was more deserving than the rest. The Christ was ready for anyone who was prepared to look away from the pool of problems and uncertain solutions, and see the Christ—the true idea of his own perfect identity.

No one is more privileged than you, luckier than you, quicker than you where healing is involved. The Christ is always here, not to put you into some alluring pool where everyone else is going, but to show you who you uniquely and already are. This Christ-Truth announces your preparedness at all times to be potent, to be powerful enough by your own nature to walk away from being transfixed by a problem and continual contemplation of a solution.

This tender, active Christ in you is beckoning you to get up from that position of victimization and preoccupation with trouble, pick up your life where it waits for you, and walk forward in your own worthiness for victory, health, and happiness.
