Shadows?

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

A shadow can move across a face, a garden, a whole city, causing them to appear dark. But the shadow never actually changes the substance of the face, garden, or city.

So it is with the "dark images of mortal thought" called sin, disease, death. They seem to be dark and powerful, but in God's reality they are shadows, just shadows of mortal thought which vanish in the Light of Christ, Truth.

So yes! Let us see and understand that Thy kingdom is come, that Thy sovereign presence is here with us right this very moment! That You are the Light in whom "... is no darkness at all" and that You are ever-present no matter what else seems to be going on. And Your Light is a law of instant annihilation to all dark shadows of mortal thought.

Let Your kingdom of Light come! And let it shine in us - as us - right here, right now.

Amen!

God's government is complete

"For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever."
For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All.

"…the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us."

Have you ever thought about how complete God’s government is of the universe (including you)?

God is our Judge, our Lawgiver, and our King.

He owns all three of the branches of government: the judicial, legislative, and executive. And as an effect of His complete government of the Universe:

· He inspires us to act – as reflections of His Life!
· He guides us to act – as reflections of His Truth.
· And He impells to be – living reflections of His Love.

God always inspires us and motivates us with intuitions of Good - to love what is good as well as to be and to do good.

And as we listen to those intuitions of Good - and act on them - we find ourselves living more and more in alignment with His will, His government! And we find ourselves inspired to do more and to live more and to mature more as His active ideas of Life, Truth, and Love - as His active disciples, spiritual warriors, and yes, His Christian healers!

God is our Judge.

He overrules all suggestions of other minds, other attractions, other negative attitudes or excuses that would claim to rule and detour or distract or tempt us into evil, into refusing to be His disciples.

God is our Lawgiver.

His Law is a Law of Goodness, a Law that obliterates evil and attracts and awakens us to become His spiritual warriors for Good!

God is our King.

He is the final authority, and it is His Word that enables us to be His Christian healers, seeing the Light of God - the “spiritual idea of Truth and Love" - everywhere the darkness of sin, disease, and death seem to be.

And God's Light and Love always draw us to be present with Him. And His Light and Love always enables all of us to understand the peace and joy and power of what He is maturing in us. The increasing sense of Love that is touching us, helps us in turn to reach the hearts of all those around us who may just need to feel His love, who maybe are searching, striving to find Him, who are yearning to awake in His likeness.

God’s Light and Love inspires that seeking, moves us to listen for His Voice, to live the wholeness and holiness that He awakens in us, to live that and give that and reflect that Love to every receptive heart we encounter, and always to rest safely under His perfect authority.

Infinite Mind creates and governs all, from the mental molecule to infinity. … Mind is Life, Truth, and Love which governs all."

Amen!

God is all-harmonious

"Our Father which art in heaven."
Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious.

God is all-harmonious!

Think of this for a moment:

God has infinite ideas. And every idea of God's is in perfect harmony with every other idea of His. Yet every idea of His is distinct, individual. Every idea has its own character and quality and identity.

Every idea of God's has it's own voice.

And every voice is in complete harmony with all the others, blending perfectly but distinctly with every other voice - a massive chorus of Light and Love resounding as the universe of Mind. Each voice unique. Each voice needed. Each voice adding its individual volume, tone, and color that makes the whole magnificent!

And the Adorable One God, all-harmonious, conducts every note, every idea, every identity together perfectly.

Listen! and hear your voice in this sonic wave of joy!

"We are God's song, finely sung..." (Alex Cook)

Let God love you!

"Give us this day our daily bread."
Give us grace for today; feed the famished affections.

Open yourself up to God. Let Him love you. Open your hands and your heart. Receive His daily Bread of Life. Receive the gift of it. Receive the grace of it. Receive the peace and joy and power of it. Receive the unconditional Love of it!

Let His Bread of Life fulfill all grace and awake you from all dreams of "not enough," feeding your every need, filling you with Love, satisfying all famished affections.

Let God love you. Because no matter what your story is, God's Love is big enough to do it!

God is everpresent - God is here, now!

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

“…beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." 2 Peter 3:8

Eternity, not time, expresses the thought of Life, and time is no part of eternity. One ceases in proportion as the other is recognized. Time is finite; eternity is forever infinite."

Right now, right this moment, we are perfectly at one with God. Right here, right in this place, we are completely perfect, and completely loved by God. Right now, right this moment, God is seeing us as His complete and utterly perfect reflection. Right here, right in this place, God holds us in His arms, holds us and sees us as His perfect child.

We may think we see everything “in a glass, darkly” – dark shadows of mortal thoughts that time has power for good or evil. But a ticking clock, a setting sun, a calendar page, a turning year have no power to ever change that Love of God. “Eternity, not time, expresses the thought of Life, and time is no part of eternity.” Time therefore has no power whatsoever. It is not a friend or a foe. It has no power to help or harm, to kill or cure. It is simply a mortal concept. It is completely erroneous. And it is completely powerless.

God measures Life – not by time – but by eternity! By unlimited progress and growth and expanding expressions of Mind, and by awakening to Principle and seeing ever-brightening views of Truth! And God measures Life – not by physical time and place – but by our spiritual here and now, by awakening thought here where we are, by intuitions of Soul, inspirations of Spirit, dwelling with Love now.

God's kingdom - His sovereign presence - is come. God is omni-present – always present. Here. Now. Right in this divine moment the Light of God is shining, revealing the perfection of His idea in us, as us, seeing us now – right this very moment – as His complete and perfect creation: whole, healthy, holy.

And since God is here now, there is nothing missing! There is nothing else we need, there is nothing that we lack, there is no ability we don’t have, and there is no or loss of any kind, because He is the source of all Good, right here, right now, right where we are. He is our Source and our Supply. His everpresence gives us all the ability to know this, to receive this Truth, our perfect daily Bread of Life!

No one is left out of God’s Kingdom - His everpresent embrace. And His Light is a law of annihilation to everything unlike Him: to all darkness, dark images of mortal time-based thought, of being in the dark, fearing the dark, fears of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, fears of being misplaced, displaced, or replaced, fears of being out of time, never on time, ruled by time. His Light exposes all these fears as baseless misconceptions. His Light shines in us! His Light shines as us!

We are His eternal peaceful children of Light!

Amen!
