A woman lamented to me that she was running out of money to pay her bills with no savings to back her up. “I’m poor!” She exclaimed with great despair.
In praying for spiritual truth to help her see her way to abundance, I told her that she was wealthier than she realized.
“Let’s make a list of your assets,” I instructed.
“I don’t have any assets,” she retorted!
“Yes, you do,” I insisted.
I had her get out a piece of paper and write, “My Assets,” at the top of the page, and then start listing her assets coming from God.
We built the list together.
It began with wisdom, patience, spiritual sense, ability to listen and hear good ideas, intelligence, the ability to think and reason, gratitude, expectancy of good, openness to progressive ways of living, and more. The list began to grow. Soon she had a huge list of assets staring at her.
“You are rich!” I told her. “You have the infinite wealth of divine Mind built into your portfolio as a beloved child of God. Life is about acting on those assets and putting them to good use. Wait no longer!”
I could hear her voice brighten on the other end of the phone. She found hope and joy again. Soon, she reported a seemingly miraculous turn of events with her income that met her financial needs. She was demonstrating her wealth.
So, how wealthy are you? When you measure your wealth correctly, from a spiritual point of view, you will discover incredible wealth that meets every human need. It’s not money in the bank. It’s wisdom coming from God ready for you to act on. What are you waiting for?
“For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it” (Proverbs 8:11, NLT).
WOW! Thank you!!! A direction to follow forever that simply begins with ATTITUDE.
An attitude of gratitude!
Oh Thank you Thank you Thank you Evan! This is absolutely perfect and I’m going to read over and over with Love ❤️ Thank you Cindy
Thank you so much Evan for this precious insight. My travel has been apparently disrupted by the mid-East situation and consequent costs. Stranded in Africa but this shows me clearly that the mist/veil of material mist-interpretations cannot hide the actual movements of Mind. Working on it.
Blessings to you!
Fay we’re with you in thought. You said you are stranded, yet I believe you recognize God’s Allness there with you, so your freedom cannot be constrained in any way. I’m thinking again of hymn 527.

ONLY ONE MIND and we reflect the one Mind!
Thank you for listening to the one Mind and posting this reminder…just exactly what I needed to hear this morning! And I love contemplating the list of my wealth! Thank you Evan! 🙂

Thank you very much , dear J. for this inspiring article about supply and peace of. Mind.
I listened to it tonight when I awoke. It did good and provided me with Truth thoughts for which I’m very grateful. ♡
This morning I opened a book I’ve been reading for several weeks called” the Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron. I just started chapter 6. The title of the chapter “Recovering a Sense of Abundance “! I had an intuition to check my email and SV was first in my sight. Well, as usual, God IS in the details! I’ll share just one line from the second paragraph of the first page of the chapter: “For many of us, raised to believe that money is the real source of security, a dependence on God feels foolhardy, suicidal, even laughable.” The first line of paragraph 4 is “Seek ye first the Kingdom of heaven and all things will be added to it.” I just Love how God speaks to me. I intend to write my list of assets this morning before I go to my new job which I find myself describing as “heaven!” I like MBE’s quote “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need.” (I add a second line to that.) “But not every human greed!” I not only have enough, I Am enough!! I Am Love!
With God’s guidance, what a great place to be stranded, the place where God is protecting you from “the mid-East situation”. No fear there, where there’s so many changes to explore, observe, partake in., led always by Divine Mind.
Thank you for your contribution this morning. Turning the situation in being protected because you’ re in the place where God IS, right where you are!
With this very message of God’s abundance for us, Hymn # 224 comes
to mind:
“O Lord, I would delight in Thee, And on Thy care depend;
To Thee in every trouble flee, My best, my ever Friend.
When all material streams are dried, Thy fullness is the same;
May I with this be satisfied, And glory in Thy name…
He that has made my heaven secure, Will here all good provide;
While Christ is rich, can I be poor? What can I want beside?
O God, I cast my care on Thee; I triumph and adore;
Henceforth my great concern shall be To love and praise Thee more.”
Pretty much says it all. We are Loved and God provides us with
all things spiritual, making us wealthy in His riches.
Thank you Carol, simply perfect. This hymn is a favorite, was just looking at it the other day. .The hymns are so pure and reach us in a different way than other modes of study.
Thank you Evan!
What a Blessing Spirit View is, It meets a our need. Beautiful! Thankyou Evan.
Thank you Evan for the wonderful way to express one’s riches. I often look to the Bible verse in 2 Kings 25: 30 (his) “his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life” when I am feeling the need of supply.
Conversation with a Practitioner when i complained i was running out of money. -Can you ever run out of qualities,”? can you be more forgiving? was the Practitioner’s response. ‘ Answer ” i think I have maxed out on that one” was my response. “Can you be more loving?” I thought I had used up all my love.. With the lessons learned from that my financial situation improved. Whenever I feel short on supply I work on expressing more of my God given qualities
Thanks Evan for today’s reminder of all we have to be grateful for. Thanks J for that article from the Sentinel and Carol for printing out hymn #224, all so relevant to today’s Spirit View
Thank you dear Evan for your today’s SpiritView!
So true and comforting! Our richness is totally in God. He supplies us with everything we need, and he knows what we need.
“divine Love has always and will always meet every human need”. Our textbook by MBEddy gives us that comforting truth!
We are the rich children of an overrich Father-Mother God. Thank you dear God!
Thank you all very much for your comments and article!!
Much needed and appreciated – thanks Evan and others.
I knew a woman who begged on the street. I bought her milk for her toddler, and started praying with hymn 71: “well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove.” But I was thinking more along the lines of God supplying a safe place to live and food. When I saw a fear and defensiveness of not wanting to move forward to get off the street, I realized my prayer needed to be raised to a spiritual level. I started praying she was God’s daughter—well supplied with wisdom, courage, discipline, trust and faith in good. We had a discussion about the qualities needed to be a good employee such as honesty, dependability, promptness, diligence, (not slacking) respect and cooperation. The police started harassing her to move off the street and she was indignant. I startled her (and myself) by saying vehemently I wanted her off the street too. I wanted her out of the rain and playing with her little girl with a toy she bought without having to answer to some social worker about cutting “fluff” out of her budget. Within two weeks she was enrolled in classes at a community college and given a little job that paid just as much as she would have made begging so her family could eat while she was going to school. Wonderful employment and housing unfolded that I don’t have room to relate, but she kept saying “I feel like I’ve got my life back.” The key to helping is to reject any sense of lack by knowing only God can supply what is needed and that spiritual supply is there and flowing.
That’s great , Kay, thank you very much for sharing your lovely experience ! ❤️
