“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9: 6)

Our Christmas is a sort of birthday of our own to commemorate. It is a new recognition of what Jesus came to show us, the facts of our identity and origin, a fresh new celebration of our life. The emergence of this Christ ideal to human view is a cause for rejoicing today and every day, for we are subject every day to the spirit of Christmas, the Spirit which is God’s steadfast, active, healing Love.

The son of God is innocent and yet he is powerful. He is a pure child of the Almighty and this heritage makes all things possible to him. Jesus declared this holy ideal to us. He showed us what it means to be the children of God, forever at one with infinite Life, Truth, and Love and conscious of that fact, accepting it as the truth.

Let us today get into true sense of Christmas and recognize what Jesus proclaimed and demonstrated. The Truth of Life—God and man as one and perfect and immortal—christens us with that wonderful wisdom and might that endures forever. It is an awareness of divine Love that makes us peaceful peacemakers, forever rejoicing that our savior is right here, and that this right here is the very place where “heaven and angels sing!”

Merry Christmas!

“This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” (Isaiah 43: 15)

God made us for Him. He created us in order to shine forth His intention and His high quality. We were made with the express purpose of being the ideal representatives of all that divine Mind could conceive and divine Love adore. We were formed to be the fully accurate evidence of all that God eternally is.

And it is not about us. It is not about human beliefs of self and personality. We are not made perfect in order that we can be arrogant and self-righteous and puffed up with pride and judgment. We were made in order to show forth God’s praise, to be the active manifestation of God, good. Everything we are and do should direct thought and worship back to God, to the Principle that is divine Love and unadulterated Truth.

Let’s be clear about our origin and the reason for our lives. With God as the source, substance, and subject of all that we are, you and I are not left out. We are set free. It is because of God that we must always have that natural purity, innocence and beauty. It is because God is the great I AM, that we are released to His right activity, His perfect productivity, His certainty, His fearlessness. We are because He is, and we are satisfied because to praise Him is to live in goodness and in joy.

“Love is the liberator.” (Science and Health, page 225)

Our freedom of body and mind is contingent on divine Love. And what is loving is also true, for Love and Truth are one, God. So the Truth of Love is what must naturally and necessarily set us free. Only true Love really can free us from anguish, fear, shame, doubt, and any inharmony that would appear in our lives and our bodies.

Let Love release you. Allow nothing unloving to have control over you, to keep you unfairly imprisoned. Resentment, anger, selfishness, competitiveness, envy, fear neglect the presence of divine Love in favor of human will and its deluded self-righteousness. This false and fallible ego is not setting you free. It is tying you in knots. It limits your capacities by attempting to find power in that which is inherently powerless. Only God, Love, has power.

Divine Love is never distant. A belief that it is far from us or that we don’t deserve it, will never make that lie true. Set aside any excuses for being less receptive of Love or less expressive of it, and just let it in. Divine Love is always and actively right where you are, asking you to believe, to accept, to feel its healing presence. Let yourself be loved and let yourself be Love. Be a liberated man or woman!

“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying…Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.” (Exodus 3, 4)

Our escape from the bondage of material sense is assured. No enemy calling itself sickness, problem, shame, fear, can pursue us, gain on us, and ensnare us into its slavery. We are free men. God has made us so, and it is by His love that we can withdraw from confining beliefs about our lives, and go safely home to the land of the free.

God reminds Moses that He has destroyed the enemy, the Egyptians chasing the chosen as they traverse the wilderness to the Promised Land. God has shown His children their release from slavery and their natural place of freedom. God had let no impediment stand in their way, clearing a path through seas and providing food in the desert on a daily basis, guiding them always.

And all of this protection and direction, God is telling Moses and each of us, is in order to bring us to Himself. God is always actively drawing us into His Truth, His Life, His perfect Love. The eagles’ wings that are both powerful and protecting soar above the illusion of material living into the reality of spiritual life. Hear and trust God’s word about your well-being, your safety, your exemption from harm. He is reminding us that we are always being borne, carried by grace to our true home, the promised land of God’s loving, undaunted, and perpetual care.

“The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.” (Psalms 121: 7)

We may feel spoiled, tarnished. We may feel that our lives have been damaged by experiences, others’ actions, and our own. We may see ourselves as no longer pure and fresh and innocent. But this presentation of you is not the truth of your being. God has preserved you, kept you perfect.

God’s Love is a preservative. His affection and protection means that our true natures and our true lives are maintained and sustained forever. Our goodness and original flavor is in no way lost or tainted. God has made us in Spirit and He keeps us spiritually. We are not material identities with lives that have had their way with us.

We are spiritual ideas, the right and good and beloved thoughts of God. This man and this woman that you were caused to be have not gone anywhere. They are ready for the claiming and the living. We do not need to believe that material life has more control over us than God, our Maker. You aren’t lost from goodness or fallen from grace. You don’t need to remake yourself. God has you in His Love and in this Love you remain at your very best, safe from harm or misuse. Listen for His voice telling you who you really are and how you really are and rejoice that your soul, your identity and glory, is preserved forever.

“In God’s creation ideas become productive, obedient to Mind.” (Science and Health, page 544)

There is no waste in divine Mind. There is no lethargy of thought and no obstacles to right action. God has created obedient ideas They are built to carry out His perfect plan and to always harmonize with each other. Every individual idea, born of God’s intention, must express that purpose without hindrance or resistance or delay.

Man is a productive idea. We are always the reflection of God’s perfect qualities and His right action. Each one of us naturally expresses God’s pure and loving motive and His capacities for good are inherent in us. This is not because we are personal gods or little creators. It is because we are always at one with the One Mind–ideas that He has conceived and so subject to His high standards.

There is no man or woman that is useless, worn out, or without a significant calling. There is no one who is simply not skilled enough, motivated enough, or “normal” enough to carry out God’s productivity. Perfect Mind made nothing superfluous, extraneous, or faulty. Every idea fits into His broad vision for Life. Each is right and powerful simply by nature of the creative Principle that formed him, and each must contribute directly and productively to God’s active, efficient, perfect, magnificent, satisfying and satisfied, whole.

“Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.” (Psalms 31: 9-10)

The psalmist’s complaints are no different from ours. We may find ourselves preoccupied with worry, with a sense of grief over our lives and our mistakes and losses. We feel like we are in trouble, in a spot we can’t get out of, stuck forever in the mesmerized sense that we can’t escape from the pain, the fear, and it is making us sick and sorrowful. We just may have lost hope.

But we know, as the psalmist did, that there is a recourse. There is a saving answer. There is a place where hope lives and where peace is the atmosphere. It is the encompassing wings of God’s mercy–those wings of Love that both shelter us and take us aloft and out of doubt and the prison of material sense analysis of things. God’s Love is bigger than our attachment to our troubles. God’s voice of Truth can break that unnecessary bondage and open the doors of our life to the good that is at hand.

Everyone sighs and worries and cries. All of us at times feel lost and without a way home. But just as the psalmist knew, these are times for grace. These are the very times that we can call on God for our answer and our salvation. We can’t do it alone and we don’t need to. When we can’t see past our own illusions, we need the light of Love to show us the door out, to wake us to the fact that we are, in fact, safe, happy, worthy, and free.

“We should become more familiar with good than with evil, and guard against false beliefs as watchfully as we bar our doors against the approach of thieves and murderers.” (Science and Health, page 234)

You would not willingly allow a shady individual to enter into your home and have full run of your house and all that is in it. Just so, we should be as alert about what thoughts we allow into our mental home and how comfortable we make them there. Our consciousness can and should be filled with welcoming ideas, those that bring beauty and light to our sweet minds.

Are we preoccupied with fear, with lack, with regrets, with self-justification, blame, and anger? Are we ruminating when we could be rejoicing? These mesmerizing ideas are murdering our peace and productivity, and robbing us of a really good time! Don’t allow those sneaky devils to dirty up your good, clean, house–your consciousness that was built to express and to receive love!

A right and good thought can accomplish miracles in moments. An unproductive thought can torture us for years if we let it. Watch that those bad ideas don’t take over, don’t become legitimate pieces of furniture in your home. And, it’s never too late to clear them out. The thought that’s been battered to pieces by our constant attention is even riper for a trip to the garbage, so toss it and celebrate with a new outlook. Leave room for fresh ideas, for simple goodness. These lovely thoughts will not only uplift you, they will protect and heal you and bring joy not only to your mind, but to your life and the lives of those around you.

“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” (Psalms 100: 4)

To know the glories of God’s household, we must enter with a gift. This gift is not a sacrifice of some material possession nor is it some religious ritual. It is a heart full of gratitude. To know the fullness of God, we must love Him, recognize this available fullness and goodness, and begin our worship with thanksgiving for our big blessings.

To enumerate personal gifts we have and to at the same time repeat or be conscious of personal lacks, is not a true gratitude. We must come to God’s table already full, already overflowing with that awareness that we are in a holy place always, on every day of the year, because we are always family at God’s table, always the recipients of the best of everything in abundance, freely.

Our Father-Mother has never failed to carve out a perfect life for us. We are not waiting for a single good thing. The goodness in our lives is not confined to what our limited senses can see. The glory of God is infinite and eternal. Right now and always we are compassed about with all the Love there is. Truth always actively fills every corner. The law of God’s Principle is always supporting us, and Life is always expressing itself fully and vitally as our very being. We are surrounded by and full of God’s substance– perfect good–at all times. Gratefully accept this spread, and claim it. When we do this, we can’t help but be absolutely satisfied and honestly, genuinely, fully thankful.

A very, very Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
