The place you seek is
seeking you; the place you need needs you. Divine Principle brings need
and supply together for mutual good. He wisely, intelligently and
lovingly controls, guides, protects, prospers and blesses this union of
His idea (man), and this normal joyous activity (work).
It does not take time for you to build up your place or your work for it
is impossible for there to be an idea without its place, and the place
is fully developed as is the idea that fills it. The place must meet all
needs of the idea if it is provided by Principle.
All you need to do is to see to it that your consciousness is fully
prepared, enlarged, uplifted, joyous, expectant of infinite good so that
no sense of limitation may hinder the full manifestation of God's will
for His idea, and you know that God's will for His idea is perfection,
nothing less.
All we need to change is our sense of discord to the consciousness of
harmony, divine government.
Who says I have finished my work here and must seek another place? God
alone outlines, directs. You do not know whether it is right to stay
here or go excepting as the steps are put before you day by day. Even if
your desires are in line with progress, we must surrender all human will
and planning before we can take the step aright. There is no human will,
no personal sense, no material planning in Divine Mind, therefore, you
have not the power or inclination to express such falsehoods. All is
patience, calm obedience because God is All-in-All and is everywhere.
All is quiet, loving, scientific harmony. God is right where you are.
Stand still and lift up your vision.
There is no human tyrant, no cruelty, no temper, lust, greed, injustice,
self-righteousness anywhere to personify themselves. They have no
expression in your environment. There are no such claims to distress,
oppress, or hold you down. "God's being is infinity, freedom, harmony,
and boundless bliss," --- and you reflect God. So work for a
consciousness of harmonious activity and clear all sense of person
either good or bad person, and know that you serve the Lord Christ, and
know that nothing can hinder, delay, or limit this God directed, God
protected and God placed activity.
You cannot change environment. We can only change our sense of
environment, and we never do this in any way but through elevation of
our own thoughts above things. God is the only environment.
We have to clear our vision, sweep away the rubbish of fear, impatience,
and a false estimate of our fellow man and Know that the One MIND shines
through all and governs all.
You do not have to plan, to think how or when or where; that is God's
business; your business is to carefully listen to, and obey when this
call comes. The Divine Will is clearly and always calling to us all the
time, and telling us of the Will of the Father, but we are so bent on
having our own way and 'doing things' instead of knowing that they are
already done that half the time we do not hear what God is saying. God's
Will will be intelligently expressed and will intelligently meet your
need by destroying your sense of fear.
You really have no need for you are already complete in God. God is
thinking, you reflect God's thoughts. God is working and nothing else
can. God is outlining, directing and no one can stay His hand or say
unto Him "What doest thou?" God will tell you what to do about your
work. He will unfold each step, so don't get worried, or anxious, or
impatient. He has infinite good in store for you, just work to know you
are receptive to it. We need to know that malpractice can not argue:
disintegration of churches, families, friendships. We need to know that
the Divine Mind builds up and unifies and holds together and prospers.
The divine and perfect law of adjustment operating through the ever
present law of attraction is bringing to you all that belongs to you.
(Mrs. Eddy to Adam Dickey)
Realize for yourself daily, more that once --- that the fields are
already white with harvest, that 'Divine Love has always met and will
always meet every human need.' The need of work as well as any other.
That Mind is active and you reflect Divine Activity; that there is
plenty of work for all; that yours belongs to you and no one else; no
one else can do it and it comes to you direct, and the supply is
abundant. And know all the time that this is so!
Never let a sense of lack of anything stay for a moment with you. It is
rank error and breeds all sorts of diseases and difficulties.
God is abundance and supplies only abundance. Mental malpractice, error
cannot rob me of that abundance. It cannot impoverish me spiritually,
mentally, physically, or financially. The demonstration of this is an
abundance of Light, Love and Truth and Intelligence for all our material
needs. Keep your aim, stick to your text, and have faith in your
understanding of Christian Science. For instance, the claim of
paralysis: Your aim is, that there is no inaction, etc. but there is
Action. Your test is, God is Almighty and you know it, and error is a
lie and is powerless. Your faith is that God is All and you know in whom
you trust. This will win every time. Jesus healed the man who was healed
of blindness after two trials. Stick to it and know we want to heal and
can heal in every case. We are not hypnotists nor hypnotized.
First of all we must know that Principle and not man does the placing.
Paul says, 'For in Him we live and move and have our being,' This is
knowing that man, God's idea, is already in his right place, and
therefore his need is already supplied by Divine Love.
Dwelling in this consciousness will bring into human experience that
which we need whether it be a home or any other good thing, because this
state of consciousness excludes every wrong thought such as mortal
verdicts, or ever-crowded conditions, no good place, fear, indecision,
lack, etc., and renders them null and void, and then the facts of being
come to light, and are manifested in more harmonious experiences. Having
cast your net on the right side you find your need supplied. |
