Receive!

Lynn G. Jackson

In our everyday coming and going, there may be times when we feel we’re unable to fully receive God’s messages of love and direction. We may theoretically understand that God guides and cares for us, but we may nevertheless fear we’re not truly receptive to Him, to His healing power and presence, even if we wholeheartedly wish we were!

Actually, though, receptivity to Truth, God, is inherent in each of us, because our true identity as God’s reflection already expresses the divine understanding. Receptivity is a humble openness to spiritual reality that brings with it spiritual-mindedness and expectation of healing based on an understanding of God’s spiritual creation. It enables us to know all that we need to know, when we need to know it, and to overcome obstruction or disruption or doubt.

God’s all-power and presence uphold this receptivity today, tomorrow, and forever. The reality is this: Truth, God, is the source of our receptivity, our uplifted spiritual understanding. It’s only natural that we all have the ability to receive God’s direction because it’s the very nature of God, good, to communicate His love and care to His children. The Christ, Truth, always within our consciousness, exposes what is unlike Truth, destroys it, and reveals to seeking hearts the perfection of God and of man as His reflection in its stead. We are God’s immediate reflection, His present emanation, having all that God has, reflecting all that God is.
