Daily, even moment by moment, we can bring everything about ourselves to God in the expectation of experiencing the purification that is Christian baptism. This ongoing, pure desire has the power to bring us a completely new, pure view of ourselves—and everyone.
We are meant, not to struggle, managing as best we can alone, but to succeed, because we have been given what we need to recognize our creator, divine Spirit, and its faultless creation, our true being.
Acknowledging Christ may not instantly transport us out of the belief of living in a material universe made up of both good and evil. But it puts the keys to the kingdom of heaven in our hands.
As we celebrate Dr. King in the United States this week, remembering the tremendous good he accomplished, we rejoice in his proof of the power of genuine love to bring healing and redemption to individuals and to society in general.
The ceaselessness of divine Life, a Bible-based name for God, is the ever-present renewing power. It restores, regenerates, and brings freshness to our lives—no matter the season.
Humility is not a passive acceptance of evil. Instead, it is the willingness to turn to God faithfully and diligently and yield our human opinions and impulses to the fact that God is, in reality, in complete control of our lives.
