“Let not my mind deny the Thought of God.”

Most of us "deny the Thought of God" without even realizing it. To understand that we are spiritual right here and now is to accept this Thought of God. When I allow every moment to be a sweet yielding, a peaceful world is mine. I love this line from today's workbook lesson: “Sureness is not required to receive what only your acceptance can bestow." How cool is that??! We don't have to be sure of anything, we don't have to know anything, all we need do is be open to the Thought of God. When we are willing to accept everything as ideas of divine Mind, this breaks through our defense that we don't know enough to put this Truth into practice in daily life. There is no requirement other than a desire to expand thought, to be willing to live Truth. When we actively set aside all supposititious material laws, another way of living opens to us. We experience divine Love as a palpable force, and it shows us a peace deeper than we ever imagined. A single glimpse of eternity is sufficient to show us that's what's been missing in this existence. Today I will demonstrate spiritual reality and glory in its every manifestation!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“God creates all forms of reality. His thoughts are spiritual realities. So-called mortal mind--being nonexistent and consequently not within the range of immortal existence--could not by simulating deific power invert the divine creation, and afterwards recreate persons or things upon its own plane, since nothing exists beyond the range of all-inclusive infinity, in which and of which God is the sole creator. Mind, joyous in strength, dwells in the realm of Mind. Mind's infinite ideas run and disport themselves. In humility they climb the heights of holiness.”
