Rest in God's arms

"Thy kingdom come."
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art everpresent.

What a blessing to know that our Divine Parent, our loving Father-Mother God, is ever present!

Feel what this means:

* Right here, right now, right where you are, God, Divine Mind, is present with you.

Let that sink in. Let that comfort you. Let that awaken you to how profoundly loved you already are. How incredibly safe you are. How dearly cared for you are!

You don't have a private little mind that is stuck trying to get everything done and to get everything right. You are image. You are likeness. That's how God, Divine Mind makes you and that is how He sees you: as His image and likeness.

And He inspires you to move and moves you think and act in ways that reflect His purpose and His glory. He makes you His "light emitting light without effort."

And this does not mean that Divine Mind is present with you in addition to all that achingly painful mortal story that's playing as your life!

No.

God enables you to know and to feel and to be conscious of His presence, His power, and His supremacy. To know He is always with you, always as close to you as your thought, always present in your heart, always speaking to you with intuitions of goodness, always available to turn to, always telling you - in so many ways - "I love you."

Think about it. You really don't have a private little life that you're stuck trying to live, to get right, to make work. God is your Life and you are already His image and likeness. And your spiritual sense - your intuition - knows this. Your spiritual sense - your intuition, your hope, your faithfulness - awakens you to see Divine Love at work in your life, moves you to think and act and to live.

In fact, He inspires you to live on purpose, live His purpose for you.

"Job said: 'I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth Thee.' Mortals will echo Job's thought, when the supposed pain and pleasure of matter cease to predominate. They will then drop the false estimate of life and happiness, of joy and sorrow, and attain the bliss of loving unselfishly, working patiently, and conquering all that is unlike God. Starting from a higher standpoint, one rises spontaneously, even as light emits light without effort; for 'where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.'"

You are already right here and now His effortless light. Let it shine! It is your treasure. It is your "expression, form, outline, and color" without a single material element: no stress, no pain, no loneliness, no sorrow.

God is with your right this minute, holding you in His arms. You are His dearly loved child. Beloved. Complete. Divinely fair.

Right here. Right now.
