“I can give up but what was never real.”

When you think of giving things up, what comes to mind? Perhaps it's giving up certain bad habits, or maybe foods that we deem to be bad for us, or perhaps things which are cluttering our life. Whatever comes to mind, rest assured it's not real! Often I think of this statement: It's not what enters the mouth which defiles us, but what comes out. But giving up negative thought and gossipy talk is also not real, given the definition we're working with today! Only that which is a manifestation of divine Mind, God, is real. So these things we give up are simply clearing the way for reality! This reality becomes apparent, but we know it's always been there, waiting to be revealed in the "twinkling of an eye" if we're truly willing to release what binds us. Let there be light!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Man is the idea of Spirit; he reflects the beatific presence, illuming the universe with light.”
