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!

Love is always reflected in love (Part 4)

"Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors."
And Love is reflected in love.

What is this "debt" of love that you owe, other than to fulfill the two great commandments that Jesus said fulfill "all the law and the prophets"?

And what are these two great commandments?

To love God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
And, to love your neighbor as yourself.

This is your debt. This is what you owe to God: You must love.

And if you love enough to forgive, then you will understand that you are also so wonderfully loved by God as to actually be forgiven.

The unconditional love of God is never "earned" - it is always freely pouring out on us. Jesus said God makes His "sun to rise on the evil and on the good" and sends His "rain on the just and on the unjust." God's love is completely unconditional. But when we hate, dispise, ignore, we are certainly not in a position to even recognize - let alon receive - that free gift of God's unconditional love! With our heart closed in a knot of self-ishness, how can we possibly be open to love?

But if you open your thought - and your heart - to even the possibility of love, then be ready!

His Love will do its perfect work in you, as you. And you intuitively know that Love is the most natural thing in the world.

In fact, living His Love is your purpose.

Living His Love is why you're here.

Get busy!

Father, who do you want me to love today?

"Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven."
Enable us to know, as in heaven, so on earth, God is omnipotent, supreme.

So Father, who do You want me to love today? Who needs that hug from You that I can pass along? Who needs that kind word, that smile, that invitation to the dance?

Who needs Your love today? Let me see it, be it, deliver it, and then step out of Your way.

Hallowed be Thy Love, Adorable One!
Let Thy loving will be mine!

And let it be done!

"Jesus beheld in Science..."

"Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick."

Jesus beheld in Science the Hallowed Name of God where sinning mortal names and natures appeared to mortals. In the expression of this Hallowed Name of God, the Saviour saw God's own Nature made manifest and this correct view of man healed the sick.

The Hallowed Name of God is an influence ever present in human consciousness - the influence - the power and presence - of the Adorable One.

How would you act and behave and live if you knew this? If you knew the Adorable One was actually this close? What if you knew you could live without fear? What would your life look like? What would change? What would you be thinking about? what would you be doing? and how would you be living ?

Look hard and pay attention! Because a life without fear is exactly what God's will is for you - His prayer for you.

So pray:

Thy fearless will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
Enable us to know, as in heaven, so on earth, God's fearless love for you is omnipotent, supreme.

So give us this day our daily bread - our daily at-one-ment, our daily communion, our daily fearless experience of being Your complete expression. Let that grace be ours today. Let that unconditional Love feed all fearful famished affections - feed us Life and that abundantly, limitless, pure, whole, healthy, holy.

And let all fear of debts, of "not enough," of tresspasses, grudges, lack, want - let it all go instead by "keeping your eyes off your circumstances and keeping them on the Lord." Let it all go by living the Love that fulfills all want, cancels all debt, eliminates all sense of tresspass.

And let that Love lead us out of our fear of trails and temptations. And let that Love deliver us from fear of sin (which is all the "love" of sin is), fear of sickness (ditto!), and yes even the fear of death, yes, deliver us from the "love" of death - thinking that death is a solution, a way out, an answer for any problem - because it isn't. Death is an enemy. Life - abundant Life - is always God's answer, God's demand. Live!

For Your kingdom - Your everpresence - is Life that annihilates all fear. Your Truth-power overrules all fear and Your perfect glorious Love rules out all fear. Forever. Because You are infinite (here!), all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All. And this Truth is the law of annihilation to all fear.

Amen.
