What if we want to do better healing? We are told to take it one step at a time.

I find this very reassuring. We don’t need any big, earth-shaking answers in order to progress in our healing work.  We are told, “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.”  (Isaia 28:10)  It’s step by step,  idea by idea, and a willing heart for fresh discoveries from Love. You’ll find opportunities in your day to use your discoveries. This desire is all it  takes.

On their journey to the Promised Land, the children of Israel had enough manna for each day.  So do we. We just need to use the spiritual ideas that we’re given each  moment. Healing is never a burden. Our discoveries bring us joy🩷

Please comment and share your insights. We need your voices.🩷

With deep quiet gratitude, love the  Lord your God with all your heart and soul and mind,  allowing “nothing but His likeness to abide in your thought.” (495)    Affiming  and trusting  with  true understanding, you know the government of all to be upon His shoulders.  Your prayer blesses you and your world.

Just an update and a big hug from this far part of the world! Every day moves fast in this journey! From a beautiful boat ride on the sea of Galilee to visits to the walled city in Jerusalem, to time spent in the Garden of Gethsemane, and a visit to Bethlehem, -all remind us of Jesus’ love, dedication, faithfulness, strength, courage. Things are moving quickly, and time for journal writing doesn’t seem to be uppermost. But I’ll send some photos soon and I’m sending so much love now,  for each one of you! Thank you Jennifer for posting your beautiful healing. It’s a complete remembrance of why Jesus did what he did, and of what Mrs. Eddy gave to the world by understanding his life and his works. Let’s  all of us stay faithful and grateful and dedicated. If I haven’t learned anything I’ve learned how much the world needs what we have been given and what we can share. I love you all !

What is your most inspired moment? Because the world needs it. What has your quiet,calm listening assured you of? Because the world needs it. Take out your daily journal and write your entry: “Today I saw…” “Today I knew…”. “Today I felt…”. “Today I understood more clearly than ever…. Thank you, Father!”Because the world needs you, your discovery, your inspired life.

You don’t have to publish it for the world. You have to feel it within. You don’t have to tell anybody, but realize you have been loved and instructed by your God, the Source of your being.  Acknowledge it, feel it, honor it, and live your day, your life, with your conviction of the absolute truth of what has been given to you, individually, as the very expression of God.

Receptive thought receives inspiration. The Bible Lesson this week says, “Prepare ye the Way of the Lord!”  Or, “Prepare the way for the Lord’s coming! Clear the road for him!” (NLT)

How do we do that? Not with parades, or banners, or drums. But with a receptive heart that turns to our God with humility, meekness, leaving all the noise and clutter for the calm, clear presence of divine Love, divine Mind as our consciousness. God is, and we are, one as His idea. Just receive that, rest in that, note that, save it, and live from that precious understanding.

What a more peaceful, healing, beautiful life you’ll experience. Regardless of the human conditions around you. Get quiet, let your God love you, listen for His voice, His guidance. It comes in quietness and confidence. It comes in love, peaceful relationships, provision, protection. Life is most wonderful when we work from that standpoint.

“Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.” * Let’s add another strong  dimension of thought to this scriptural instruction: Depart from fear of evil, and understand the power and presence of good, God, and dwell for evermore. The  Message Bible says “Turn your back on evil, work for the good and don’t quit.”

Today the world seems overrun with experiences of evil, hurricanes, fires, floods, wars. Each one of us is praying earnestly, and with conviction, to understand the power of the presence of God, good right where evil seems to be.  As we each see the unreality of evil, we will see the reality of God, ever-present good. Find this good in your life, acknowledge the good that God is, and reach out with your prayer to embrace our world, to understand the government of our Father-Mother for each and everyone. Let’s love God good, more than we are tempted to fear evil.

Let’s do this today and realize everyone is in the wake of divine Love, right where the fear is. We can do as Mrs. Eddy did in the face of storms, – she would pray to see the face of God until that was all she saw, and the storm could dissipate. Let’s see God, good, the face of God, right where evil claims to be. Let’s do this loving prayer today.

*Psalms 37:27

….and there is always healing.

We will see the answer; humble prayer will give us a solution, and it will bless everyone.  For me, this is the premise, the basis of thought. I set this conviction forth before anything else. It begins my prayer. I declare this truth to be true.

In this week’s Bible Lens, we can read that faith and trust underlie all our prayers for help. What is required is bold affirmation of God‘s reign while simultaneously waiting patiently. Waiting patiently brings with it a depth of trust and commitment to God’s government. We learn, through patient waiting to be expectant of God’s grace and God’s love, evidenced in an adjustment of whatever seems to need adjusting.  Jesus taught his disciples to have more faith in the Christ than in their own opinions or wisdom. We must do the same. Patient waiting with faith often reveals to us what needs to be removed or released. Patient waiting brings active revelation.

Our God is available every time we turn with a need in prayer. Turn to your God expectant of guidance, with such love for God, that you know good is the only result. When in doubt, love God more than you fear the problem or the need.

Be that disciple of Christ Jesus by loving God, and you will feel God loving you. There is an answer, a solution, and a healing in your spiritually alert understanding. Christ Jesus lived his love for God in every moment of his day and his life.  He knew and trusted the depth of that relationship for good everywhere he moved, in every place, every relationship, every need. Can we?

I had a wonderful insight today. A friend told me her daughter suggested to her mom, “You be you!” As if to say, we are very different,  you’ll be who you are and I’ll be who I am.

When I heard that, I loved its truth! I had such an influx of thought that we, by a statement like that, are not only being told to be who we are, but we are told to recognize who and what and why we are. What an inspiration that is!

Because who we are has nothing to do with generations, or age, or mother and daughter, or father and son. It doesn’t matter if we were flower children of the 60s or millennials today, or living on the moon in some further out-of-the-way location!  It matters who we are, and how we understand ourselves and our purpose, which, of course, truly is as our spiritual identity. It matters that we know who we are.

We are, each one, an individual idea of one infinite divine Mind. We fulfill the definition of ourselves by being the expression of that Mind, expressing the qualities of intelligence, integrity, alertness, ingenuity, discernment. That is the truth about every idea that has existed forever. We are the idea of divine Love, and this is seen in our being loved children of our Father-Mother God. We live love, kindness, consideration, compassion, tenderness, gentleness. That is who each and every one of us truly is. Our God has defined us as His expression, Her loved child. That has nothing to do with age, location, generation. And everything to do with our eternal, infinite spiritual identity.

We see this example recently in one who knew, and continues to know, who she is.  Her Majesty, The Queen of England, knew who she was and she continued to expressed that understanding, that dimension of thought,  from an early age.  Her understanding of true humanhood is expressed in seven decades of service. The world did not throw her off, nor did she throw off the world. Her example will be ours forever. She knew who she was in her love for God, her love for good, in her faithful service to her family, her country, and for mankind.

Why is that different for any of us? It isn’t. We must be who we are, know who we are, and live to that highest understanding. Only then do we fulfill our niche in time and eternity and give the best we have to our world.

….when we recognize, begin, and stay with our ever-increasing awareness of the absolute allness of God. There is no outside to God. In fact, no outside to the good that is God.  This is a spiritual fact, and as we grow in spiritual understanding we see the goodness of God everywhere.

There is nowhere you can go, no place you can be, that is outside of the all-good that is divine, that is God.  Our confidence in life, in living, in protection and provision of good comes more naturally and easily when our day begins with gratitude for God, for divine Love’s everpresence. Hold this in your thought as you begin your day.

In an article entitled  “The New Birth” we read, “We must learn that God is infinitely more than a person, or finite form, can contain; that God is a divine Whole, and All, an all-pervading intelligence and Love, a divine, infinite Principle; and that Christianity is a divine Science. This newly awakened consciousness is wholly spiritual; it emanates from Soul instead of body, and is the new birth begun in Christian Science.” *

We wake up morning by morning, more awake than ever to God’s ever-present love. Enjoy being awake!
