In Love's embrace

Do you ever year for something you think you lack. I do sometimes. I have not found that very productive. Why? I think it's because when we want something, sometimes unintentionally it becomes a denial of God's presence. So, I try and be careful when thoughts of wanting something voice themselves. I find those are opportunities to affirm with all my heart that God IS meeting our need. We do this to accept what is already going on, not to change something.

If Love is meeting your need, then truthfully, Love has MET your need. There is nothing in you or on you or around you that is unlike love. Only the mortal mind, or the egoic mind, claims that it has experienced lack. But how can we realize this? Sometimes, we need to relax and be still. In that peace of not actively thinking, we can hear God talking, embracing us. I've asked a few people how much of their thoughts are really worries or ruminations and they've all said it was a pretty high percentage. So, I think there is value in being still and giving God room. Just let Him/Her talk, without guiding or reminding Him/Her what you need.

It's a fact. Love is infinite good. Love is protecting you, supporting you, embracing you, uplifting you, regenerating you. God's universe is in perfect order and harmony. I like to be alert to the thought that I can use prayer to change something. Prayer reveals what already is and always was. (By the way, evil never started. If it never started, it cannot grow.)

As human thought changes and yields to the call of Truth, your mind, body, spirit, your whole experience is healed. Theologian Mary Baker Eddy said that the leading causes of sickness are fear, ignorance or sin. Then, we want to pray to yield up those misconceptions. Jesus' surrender of the false sense of self was complete. He lived Love. The infinite Love he embraced is here for us to embrace. When we do that, we're repenting or changing our thought as he asked us to do. We become aware that there is not Love and a problem, just the reality of Love.
