Today’s reading is from Divine Science Daily Studies, written by Dr. Jack H. Holland titled “Happiness is an Inside Job.”
The great message of Jesus was salvation – giving us a way to ultimate reality without suffering.
If we are free of the shackles that worldly things and desire for worldly acclaim bring to us; if we are truly able to see the greatness of nature, the greatness of others and ourselves – we are truly free. Then, if our ultimate goal in life is the raising of our spiritual consciousness (become more inner-aware), we have as our goal something that will make us happy no matter what adversities we have in life. We will be able to really live with enthusiasm, joyousness and happiness in the Now because we know we are growing in Christ Consciousness.
Real happiness is feeling a union with all energy, all people, with all creation – it is love (both giving and receiving). We have been given great lessons in how to enjoy life, how to realize the victorious and triumphant Spirit which is in us which is real happiness! All we have to do is practice the lessons we have been given – the light is there for us Now.
Affirm: Today I am growing spiritually; I am joyful.
Meditation
We shall now move into a meditation on “Oneness.” Get comfortable, and relax as we turn inward to our Holy Temple - that sacred place within us. Let us relax into our breathing as we quiet our mind of the worldly things and connect with our heart and listen.
Be still and know God is right here wherever I am; above, below, to the right and left, and within me - God is. God is here and now this very moment and every moment a living presence of all life as love, joy, knowledge, wisdom, peace, strength and wholeness.
I am a living presence of God. (Repeat)
All creation is the out picturing of the living presence of God. When I truly see from the depths of my soul, I can see this living presence within a tiny bird flittering about. A dog’s or cat’s soulful eyes radiating the light, the love of this living presence of God. This same living presence is the colorful flower, strong tree, tall mountain, vast ocean, bright moon and brilliant sun. Each radiating this living presence of God. When I look deep in the eyes of another being I see God looking back at me, and I know there is only one - the life of God expressing as all life and all creation. I am a living expression of God. Now a minute of silence.
As we come out of the silence, let us give thanks for any new realizations of our Oneness. Thank you God, and so it is!
