“Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:” (Jeremiah 32: 17)

Our loving Father-Mother allows no obstruction to His active presence. Nothing in the divine Life is without proper motion, function, activity. God is Spirit, and His presence is never stagnant or limited in its flow of perfect goodness. God is everywhere, and He is actively expressing His qualities in every place, announcing the full nature of His substance, His Love.

God created everything there is. All that is the heavenly real and all that appears as our earth is according to His design and subject to His government and His nature. The limited concept must yield to the limitless Mind of God. In God’s thought there is no impediment to perfect being and acting. There is nothing too hard or too deep-seeded or too stubborn or too difficult for God, for the cleansing grace of His overflowing Love.

His outstretched arm clobbers that wall of resistance with one swift blow of Truth. There is nothing within a material body or in material life that can withstand the power of divine Love and its activity. It necessarily and naturally dissolves all that seems settled, unyielding, and uncomfortably binding. God’s love requires and brings movement, mobility, release, flexibility, and momentum, and there is nothing Love cannot or would not do to show us our freedom and the progressive sweetness of our lives.

“Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur from trusting God with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds.” (Science and Health, page 1)

Yes, we can have what we want. We can have our heart’s desires. These genuine longings are God’s loving voice speaking within us, declaring His own intentions for us. And so they are also prayers because they affirm what He caused us to love and what He made for us to express.

We may think that what we truly want is a perfect set of human circumstances fitting some outline we have set out. But really our desire is to know and feel a perfect quality of peace, understanding, happiness, well-being. These are right aspirations and to pray rightly is to cherish our love for those qualities and leave God to show us the “how” of their revelation and activity in our thoughts and in our lives.

No loss will ever occur by leaving our yearnings to the One Who loves us best and knows our needs. God, the only Mind and Life, knows what will truly satisfy us. He sees beyond the limits of time and personal sense that we would place on things. He is conscious of the full measure of what our lives are about and what brings out the best for us and for others, in His good and perfect time, His ideal way. Trust divine Love to be loving. Leave your heart with God and He will never disappoint you. Pause for His inspiration. There is no need to rush. Your goodness will not be lost. It will be nurtured and made to blossom into exactly the bloom that you most love to see and to be and that most blesses the world with its beauty and aroma as well!

“He brought me forth also into a large place; He was delivering me because He was pleased with me and delighted in me.” (Psalms 19: 18, Amplified Bible)

God’s tender love for us brings us the very best He has. His approval and delight at the fact of our being delivers to us the greatest gift we could receive: the gift of His Life. This Life is never small or limited in any way. It does not find its contentment in one small place or situation, or through only one individual or relationship.

He brings us into a large place. Because of His Love, He reveals to us a large Life, one that is expansive and open and fresh and arable—good for planting and growing, perfect for development and movement and building. This abundant and fertile Life also has much room for others—for an embracing and gracious welcome to other ideas of God, whether they be individuals or new endeavors.

God’s absolute delight in you means that He remains with you. He demands your company. All the protecting and uplifting power He has is at hand and He preserves you just as you are, because He loves you just as you are. Our large place, our abundant Life, is always expanding before us, never diminishing. He establishes us in this grand home of His and He is always opening new doors in this mansion, new paths on His gorgeous property, and at every turn we will always find Him—the good Life that is safe, comfortable, yet invigorating and refreshing Love.

“Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:” (John 17: 20, 22)

Jesus was praying for you. His loving consciousness of God and His purpose called him to pray that all be embraced in this awareness–those in his immediate presence and those whose calling would come at other ends of the world and in centuries to come. He wanted all to know the powerful grace that he himself felt from our Father-Mother-God.

Jesus loved to pray. He loved to give himself over to the word of God in each moment, listening for the right answer, the right direction, the highest standard and most loving purpose. He knew that this prayer was not a calling out to a god in the distance. He knew it was a sweet and tender consciousness of the God with whom he was always at one, the closest and most immediate presence that he could know or feel.

So his prayer came straight from the heart of God. He shared this message with us: that God’s glory was meant for us all to embrace and celebrate. He shared with his disciples then and today that we are united in God, in the Love that is never divided, localized, or lost. He prayed for those who believe in the Christ, in that truth that we are all the sons and daughters of God, brothers and sisters, worthy of prayer, worthy of healing, worthy of the glory of our divine heritage and capable in our mission of love.

“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.” (Psalms 37: 7)

It is so easy to get caught up in what evil another has done toward us. It is alluring to stay focused on how they have misunderstood us, betrayed us, deserted us, caused us shame or loss. And yet, by doing so we are giving to the one we believe caused us harm our attention, a manner of worship. Our sweet and innocent mind has lost its well-deserved high altitude and experience, to cavort with sinners, so to speak.

Rest in the Lord. Be patient with His ability to right all things. Stay faithful to your own innocence by loving God enough to trust Him and to bring justice, and most importantly, peace. Don’t lose your life in the contemplation of your hurt. You are investing that error, that evil, and its perpetrator with your focus, with your thought, which has power when focused on good. Does the evil really deserve this much of our precious time?

We must give God the day. We must stay faithful to our trust in His perfect design, knowing that in it, no transgression against goodness is allowed to stand, and every one must come to know Him, good, from the least of us to the greatest. The evil-doer also must come into accord with Principle, Love. Let’s not put off for a moment our beautiful life by fretting about others’ wrong-doing. Your blessing comes from God, and so it is always full and unadulterated. No man can take that away from you. So relax, and claim the fullness and active presence of good, and feel the freedom that comes of a Mind that is totally filled with Love.

“And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.” (Leviticus 26: 12)

This is the assuring message from a God Who is divine Love. There is no distance to this God. There is no separateness between His purpose, His goodness, His presence, and each of His ideas, His children. This God that is the One and Only, walks among us, touches us with His tenderness, tickles us with His happiness, expresses right where we are the pure fullness of His Love.

We are God’s people. He has claimed us and remains with us. His Truth abides in our lives, preserving us and leading us. We are not waiting for Him to show His face, or for us to gain access to His throne of heaven. He is not separate from His creation. He is in it, abides with it. God, good, is the very essence and quality of all life. He is also our Father-Mother and our faithful best friend.

God is Spirit. This spiritual nature does not separate Him from us, but brings Him nearer. Spirit transcends the limits of matter and is always present giving this moment all that He’s got—all the Truth, Life, Love that there is at the very place where we are. He necessarily constitutes the condition of our own being. God as Spirit is our intimate companion here and now. At the same time He is the place where we are going and the only place we have ever been. Divine Love walks with each of us today and we all walk together in the Love that never fails to save and to bless.

“The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” (Psalms 19: 7)

God’s law is active. It is profound in its infinite wisdom and yet it is also easily accessible to all. The law of perfect Love is perfectly loving. Its power is always for good, enforcing that which is right and true and satisfying, and barring anything that would oppose this intention.

The law of God has no flaws in it and no exceptions to it. This loving Principle spans the universe and holds all in gracious control, feeding each idea with its daily bread and keeping perfect rhythm, perfect harmony, absolute accord. This divine design of goodness is sure, confident, unquestionable, and its testimony is true; it is proven in the very life that you are living, the perfection of your being held intact, whole, just right.

We can gratefully give up the anxious straining for knowledge, pushing away inspiration by our disbelief that we could have enough intelligence or goodness to understand or deserve it. The simplicity of your thought—the clean and clear readiness to be taught–brings instruction to your door, every idea that you need made lovingly apparent. The wisdom of the mighty God is supplied to each of us, revealing the fact that we are forever already at one with all that we need, with our Truth, moment by moment. This is our right and our rest, our natural and lovely peace of mind.

“…for all men have not faith. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.” (II Thessalonians 3: 2-3)

Men may fail, but God is always His perfect Principle, Love. He is always faithfully Himself, and this is our assurance of harmony, peace, progress. We shouldn’t let the behavior of others–their unreliability, ignorance, and even their human betrayals– trouble us preoccupy us. We have a firm foundation: a trustworthy One Who is always reliable and is always righteous, right.

Turn away from the opinions and actions of men, and let God show you your natural and always available peace. His Love doesn’t waver. It doesn’t get confused or emotional. It doesn’t misjudge things or make unfair assumptions. It doesn’t lapse into neglect or play games with us. God is true, for He is Truth; and that Truth is always infinite Love, that which faithfully fills all space, acts generously and tenderly and powerfully right where you are.

You always have God in your corner. You always have His conscientious devotion to what is right and true. He is faithful to His own perfect character, His holy goodness. He will never change or vary in His nature or in the nature of His focused care for you. He will always be the All-in-all Who is perfect, present, unconditional, trustworthy, honest, invariable Love.

“Happiness is spiritual, born of Truth and Love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.” (Science and Health, page 57)

Our true happiness is found in God. He has created us to be happy, content, and He maintains this joy through the ever-presence of His qualities with us and in us. Our only and forever true love will always be God’s love for us. We express that same true loving naturally as we realize the generous and uninterrupted Source of that Love that is love.

God’s Love is lasting, pure, unconditional, unbiased, non-judgmental. It is not disturbed or influenced by human history, bad experiences, upbringing, and the idiosyncrasies of personality. God’s Love is the love that is always on our side and never has and never will leave us. Because of the depth, permanence, and broadness of this love, the whole world is necessarily enveloped in it and united by it.

This is true happiness. To realize the presence of Love always and already with you and in you, the very substance of you, and to recognize that its abundance is there for you to share. It is not a love founded on need or false desire. Divine Love’s love simply must love, must be expressed, and rejoices in doing that. This happiness is spiritual, born of God, of Love and of Truth, and it never fails. As we accept it and utilize it, we feel its activity. We know that we always remain on the receiving end of it, for Love is always seeing and knowing and consciously approving of its own beautiful expression.

Have a happy Valentine’s Day, all you lovely, lovable, beloved lovers!
