God is real!

God is real.  This is a powerful and bold statement.  I thought I had faith and an understanding of God before, but this is profound.  When I realize that God is real, God is alive and well and here and now and God is governing and controlling all ideas – that is huge!  The meaning and implication of this is phenomenal.  That means that God is speaking to us always.  God is loving us because God is love and we are God’s beloved creation.  Therefore how can anything bad happen to us or be part of our experience?  It can’t!  And when we challenge that statement we will see the effects of it in our lives.

I realized today that we are never healing anything.  Our thought is becoming spiritualized so that we see and know that God’s spiritual creation is all that has ever existed and will ever exist.  It has never been interrupted or changed.  All is constant and consistent harmonious good.  And how can it be otherwise since God is actually real?

I think before I was thinking that God was more of a theory instead of an actual living presence which thinks and sees and knows all.

So why do I worry?  Of course God knows that I need x amount of dollars to pay rent. Of course God knows that I need to go there or get here.  It is God who is sending me and guiding me to these places so that I can be a blessing to others and be blessed (see and know good!).  I am always where God wants me and needs me, so I can expect that each event or activity is already full or spirit, life, vitality, harmony and healing (spiritualization & movement of thought).

God is good and since God created man in his own image and likeness, good is all that man can be.   Good is all that our neighbor can be or our community.  What about terrorists, extremists and other people doing evil around the world?

Well these are good people who just aren’t listening to God.   They are sort of blinded and mesmerized by hate and fear.  There is nothing wrong with them. They just need to be awakened to the sense that everything is ok.  God has created everything perfectly.  God is loving them and caring for themjust as He is to all of us.  They don’t need to feel it’s their responsibility to govern and take care of the universe.  It’s not their responsibility to determine who or what is right or wrong.  God is doing that.  God is revealing and sustaining all things.  The pressure is not up to us.  God sustains and maintains his creation.  Therefore we aren’t going to end up in some devastation and we don’t need to be afraid.

I saw a wonderful healing when a patient was healed of a cold after I realized that God sustains and maintains his creation – business, supply and family are all sustained and upheld by Love, God.

Therefore we don’t need to worry or fear that we are plummeting in desperation.  The first and the last and is God’s spiritual perfect creation.  And God is real and true and is helping us to realize and see that is all there is right now.  There never has been a moment of parting or separation from God.

There is no absence

As I was praying for a dear friend this morning, it occurred to me that there is no absence.  There is never an absence of God, of Love.

God fills all space.  Each moment is already so full of God, good and there is no room for anything else, nor can anything be lacking.  Each moment is filled with wisdom, harmony, joy, peace, spirit, spirituality, love, happiness, and clarity.

So in the morning when we think about our day, we can just see and know that each moment is so full of God already.  And then we can go into our day with confidence, listening and seeing the good that is already there. We have only beauty and harmony waiting for us because God is already there.

God has already been there, where ever we are going.  God has already prepared each place, each step for us.  God has already been a part of each activity, each conversation, and each new idea.  God is already there, making “radiant room” for us (Christian Science Hymnal, #298).  God has already done it because She loves us.  She couldn’t know or see anything less than good, anything less than perfection, because Her love for us is what motivates Her, impels Her and is what she sees and knows as an unchanging fact, as all there ever is and all there ever will be.

Time doesn’t govern us because God doesn’t see or know time. Quantum physicists and other scientists have already determined that time isn’t a reality.  It is simply the measurement of the material objects rotating around the solar system.  But that is a constant and continuous thing; it is the manifestation of God’s powerful, unchanging, constant government.  And it is “the same yesterday, today and forever” (Heb 13:8).

God knows and sees the absence of time – therefore all ideas in unchanging perfection.  Just stop and consider for a moment that there is no time, and you will see that all fear or regret are in proportion to our sense of time.  But God sees and knows only now.  There is never anything propelling or advancing us forward which is taking us away or separating us from God.  God simply sees our perfect oneness, our perfect relationship with Her.  There is nothing that can change this.

“Life is, like Christ, ‘the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever.’ Organization and time have nothing to do with Life.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pg. 249)  And in the same book, the definition of year shows the spiritual facts of existence very well.

“A solar measurement of time; mortality; space for repentance.”

“One moment of divine consciousness, or the spiritual 
understanding of Life and Love, is a foretaste of eternity. 
This exalted view, obtained and retained when the Science of being is understood, would bridge over with life 
discerned spiritually the interval of death, and man 
would be in the full consciousness of his immortality and 
eternal harmony, where sin, sickness, and death are unknown. Time is a mortal thought, the divisor of which 
is the solar year. Eternity is God’s measurement of Soul‐
filled years.”

“One day is with the Lord as a thousand years.” 
(II Peter iii. 8.)

God is all that propels and moves us forward.  Mrs. Eddy states in her book previously cited that “growth is the eternal mandate of Mind” (pg. 520) as well as “progress is the law of God” (pg. 233).  Therefore, it is God that is causing us to grow.  God is leading and guiding us forward.  We aren’t propelled forward by a material force against our will.  In fact, nothing governs us but the power of God, good.  This is the only power in our lives.  So let’s not fear that we can ever be taken away or separate from God.  We are always safe in God’s care.  And nothing can ever change this scientific fact.
