God is the supplier of every good thing that could ever appear in your life.
If you feel care coming from a friend, that’s God in action working through that friend.
If you feel love from a trusted partner, that is God in action working through that partner.
If needed funds appear in time of financial need, that’s divine Love coming to your aid in a way that works for the moment you’re in.
God is an all-knowing Mind that has a solution to any problem, an answer to every question, and a supply for every need.
The purpose of prayer is to listen and follow where this all-knowing Mind is taking you. God always knows best.
If you see conflict, look for God, for God is the Love that resolves that conflict.
If you see disease, look for God, for God creates the health you seek.
If you see loneliness, look for God, for God is the best company you could ever have.
God is the source of all love, truth, health, intelligence, wisdom, supply, provision, comfort, and life.
When you have God, you have everything.
Enjoy!
Amen!
Thank you Evan. Recently, I saw the movie Harriet. After Harriet Tubman, with amazing determination and inner communication to God, made her way to freedom. Though sternly warned to not return, Harriet refused to heed their fatal warnings, instead she made trip after trip, to rescue hundreds of slaves. Harriet said she listened to the VOICE OF GOD. That was her sole protection from hatred. Her entire life was service to God and compassion for others. Listening to God, Mind, not humans, opens thought.
I loved the part in the movie, where Harriet speaks to many well dressed former slaves, I will go back and save as many slaves as I can because the tortures of slavery are fresh in my mind. You have forgotten your past and are now comfortable in your new life. Harriet’s bold stand was her inner voice from Love.
I love the Christian Science pamplet: Sacred Solitude.
“A Christian Science Perspective” (Healing prejudice) in today’s Monitor Daily is wonderful in this respect. It’s an audio recording.
Thank you for sharing, Jo…
Thank you for mentioning this wonderful article. It has been recorded so we can Listen to it. It is a 1936 article that I assume must have been printed as a pamphlet at some point.
My comment ended up out of place. I was referring to “Sacred Solitude”.
I would appreciate knowing how to listen to the recording, please.
Dear Jo, It is on JSH online. Here is a link to it. You can read it or listen to it: https://sentinel.christianscience.com/shared/view/14j1cj6kh3i?s=e
Thank you Margi!! I listened to the audio recording and read the article Sacred Solitude at the same time, twice, so far. I love the woman’s soft voice reading this lovely article. As a child, I was never read to, nor had books, or taken to the library. Now I soak it all up. Was there ever a time though, that God, Love was not with me. Never.
God, Love was always there embracing me and caring for me., my true Father-Mother.
Sorry, Thank you, Beatrice! for the info for the recording!!
Me, too!
Thank you, Evan, for this important SpiritView, and Jo for pointing to the article “Sacred Solitude.” That is beautifully written and read.
I’m so grateful that I learnt, from an early age, to enjoy my own company. Later, that led to being able to use that time humanly alone to spend with God, seeking and discovering more of His/Her allness. What a precious gift for a child to receive!
At one point, in mothering two boys aged ten and eleven, my husband remarked that he never had time to himself. There just seemed to be constant demands on his attention. God gave me the idea to insist that on Sunday afternoons each of us would spend one hour alone. At first, one of the boys kept coming to me and asking if the hour was up! Slowly, he learned to respect the hour, and one time, when I went to tell him the hour was over, he asked if he could have another hour! He had learned to enjoy his own company. All of us appreciated this precious time alone.
Evan thanks for that beautiful statement that shows the very practice side of God’s loving care.
And, Jo thank you for the reminder of the life story of Harriet Tubman.. She was truly inspired to follow God’s voice and walk through every adversity to find that precious gift of dominion..
To Harriet God was her All in all…
It’s humbling to know her story.
Yes, all so true.
Thank you so much, Evan. What a magnificent post this is. You have given us such an important reminder about the source—the divine and infinite source —of goodness, and I am grateful. And I love knowing that this truth applies to EVERYONE. “In the scientific relation of God to man, we find that whatever blesses one blesses all, as Jesus showed with the loaves and the fishes, — Spirit, not matter, being the source of supply.“
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,p. 206:15)
I, too, am also grateful for the lovely and inspiring post about Harriet Tubman.
Thank you Evan. The picture chosen to go along with your words is just perfect.
Thank you Evan. And of course we always have God with us so we always have everything we need. What a wonderful thought to carry ..always.❣️
“Give is this day our daily bread;
Give us grace for today; feed the famished
affections”
My teacher said grace means being poised,
unmoved.
The sentence asks for grace to then feed the
famished affections.
It seems like the world is starving for love/Love.
Today we can/should live grace.
I have found it very helpful (and it uplifts my thought) to acknowledge God as the source whenever something (anything!) good happens in my life or in others lives. When I hear the good news of a new job, home, promotion, whatever, I immediately say in thought…”all good, where’re it found, its source doth find in Thee” from Hymn 244. This reminds me that all supply (good) comes from God alone, I also find it helpful when I hear good news from someone and if I feel even the slightest sense of lack or envy (gee, wish it was me!), I also immediately claim: “Love is universal in its adaptation and bestowals.” This promise assures me that another’s good is proof that since Love doesn’t play favorites, God is watching out for my best interests and supplying my needs. There’s no need for me to feel “left out” of good in any way. What blessed assurance!
Such good reminders and spiritual”go-to” s! Thanks, Susan and Evan, Inspiring lives, lived are truly what movies could be all about, eh?
thank you, Evan. Great picture and thought.
I should have said that my teacher said
spiritual poise.
LOVELY, Evan & everyone.
The perfect flower & bee…
All poised…lovely!
Thank you for another lovely start for the day.
Beautiful way to begin the day! Thank you, Evan, for the most comforting message to keep us on track! Appreciate so much all the good work you do and for the generous sharing of ideas. Thank you, also, to everybody in the SpiritView family! Much love to you all.
Thank you Evan!! ✌
So much good! Special thanks to Susan, that line from hymn 224 is one of my favorite “go to’s”
My comment ended up out of place. I was referring to “Sacred Solitude”.
Yes Evan, this moment I read your utmost comforting SpiritView, I only managed to this in the evening. I am working in my little garden, planting a new flower, and I need much rest in between and God’s strength. I cannot thank you enough for the comfort and assurance you give me this evening of God’s presence and loving supply for us. I am just here in my garden and enjoying God’s loving, caring presence, enjoying the lovely singing of the birds and the playing children in the neighborhood and the sunshine.
Thank you God for your omnipresence and omnipotence to comfort and heal us. Thank you very much Evan, to make that so lovingly clear to us! 🙂
What a perfect message Evan. And I thank everyone for their loving comments. Jo I have stood at the Harriet Tub Bridge and my heart was full of love and pride that woman of her time and circumstance would and could have assisted so many to freedom. I love God and understand where Ms. Tubman received her devotion to her mission.
Thank you Virginia for sharing about the Harriet Tubman bridge, as I would also love to see this significant part of history! Her unselfishness,humility saved her in the wilderness amongst copperheads in the swamps and timber wolves in the woods. Her devotion to God, her mission.
Thank you Evan, and thank you Beatrice for link to 1936 “Sacred Solitude.” Year I came into being! Message in article as applicable today as back then.
Wow, so simply stated, yet so profound, thank you, Evan! Also thank you to the dear elders who comment. There’s always more wonderful ideas to ponder for my prayers. Thanks, Beatrice for that link!
Thank You Evans, this phrase has been stuck in me eversince “God is my supply, the substance of my being, I already have everything I need to be grateful for”.
Amen to your article and thoroughly enjoying the boundlessness of God as Creative Principle unfolding the bountifulness of Soul’s Reality through my life experiences all coming from the Love of God.
