Expand and express more of your spiritual individuality

Published on by lindseybiggs4 Comments

In life, we probably have to fulfill a lot of different roles, and as we grow in life these roles only multiply.

Rather than feeling daunted by all the demands we have to fulfill, though, we can see each demand, each moment, as an opportunity to reflect God.

God is infinite, so the roles that we have in life are actually a reflection of Him.

For instance, I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, practitioner, colleague, friend, etc.

Each one of these is actually a fulfillment of God. We are expressing God’s eternal nature and infinite individuality.

Spirit, Life, Truth, Love, combine as one, — and are the Scriptural names for God. All substance, intelligence, wisdom, being, immortality, cause, and effect belong to God.

Nothing can be demanded of us that God, divine Love, isn’t fulfilling.

Truth, Life, and Love are the only legitimate and eternal demands on man, and they are spiritual lawgivers…

So as you’re going about your day, you don’t need to feel that you are being stretched thin. You are EXPANDING to express more of your spiritual individuality — expressing more of Infinite Spirit (to whom all good is possible).

Genesis i. 31. And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good…

Unselfish love

What does it mean to love?

Putting off selfishness, fear, and false stereotypes enables us to love more. Ultimately discovering more about God, Love itself, shows who we are as the image and likeness of Love and infinitely capable of loving.

Jesus said to his followers,

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

We have countless opportunities to love throughout our day: waiting in traffic, caring for children, caring for the elderly, business relationships, spouse relationships, interactions with strangers.

Here are some powerful examples of love I heard recently:

  • “It was all about love” was the divine message one woman received when she prayed to better understand her loving relationship with her mom — to have a sense of peace — after her mother passed away.
  • “I will not respond with anger or fear. I will respond with love” thought one man after he was put in a headlock by a mentally ill patient. Ultimately the patient felt the man relax and let him go unharmed.
  • “I’m sorry that you had to grow up without a father” said one male juvenile to a female police officer in a new community-focused panel designed to break down barriers between police and citizens.

There are countless examples of the power of Love to bring protection and healing to any given situation.

What is it that prevents us from loving? Ultimately, it is fear — a fear of limited time, ability, wealth, etc.

For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

Christ Jesus words may seem like a hard task to follow, but we can begin losing a limited sense of life each day by giving up selfishness, anger, hatred, revenge, and frustration. These negative pulls obscure our ability to feel God’s love.

What is the reward for doing so? A better and safer world to live in, more harmonious relationships, closer-knit communities, a feeling of individual dominion, and being at one with God’s grace and unconditional love.

How does Christian Science heal?

Published on by lindseybiggs1 Comment

http://pixabay.com/en/mountain-freedom-sunset-pleasure-372016/Christian Science is the natural law of God — good, health, happiness — operating in your life.

You were not created by material DNA, heredity or history.

You are spiritual because you were created by God, who is Spirit.

It is almost so simple that we overlook it!

“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” II Cor 13

“To being rightly is to end rightly.” So, if  you reason from the premise that you are created spiritually and that God’s message of goodness, safety and health is constantly defending you, uplifting you and healing you then you can be completely free from sin and disease.

“The foundation of mortal discord is a false sense of man’s origin. To begin rightly is to end rightly. Every concept which seems to begin with the brain begins falsely. Divine Mind is the only cause or Principle of existence. Cause does not exist in matter, in mortal mind, or in physical forms. ” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 262)

You don’t have to accept that there is a material law which can make you sick.

This is the “mist” referred to in the Bible. Rise above the mist!

Don’t accept fear, ignorance or sin as a reality for you.

God made you spiritually therefore you can not be afraid.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. (Psalms 23:4 NIV)

God made you to know Him — to know His eternal laws of health and goodness for you and your family — therefore you can’t be made to believe that there is a material law that governs you.

I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds. (Hebrews 10:16 NIV)

God made you pure and childlike, therefore “missing the mark” (sin) can not control you; you have complete satisfaction and authority in God.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
 (Romans 8:2 KJV)

Christian Science — these divine, eternal, and universal laws of God, good, health and harmony — govern you, me and everyone.

Take possession of your consciousness, rise above the mist and experience God’s loving control over your health and life.

You will be made whole! And you can help others recognize their wholeness, too.
