Today, Monday, March 28, is the seventeenth day of Lent. Lent is the period of time during which we can prepare ourselves for the Easter experience.

 
Assignment 17
 
Man, created with an image within, is in the process of bringing forth its likeness. He has freedom of expression, but he also has the power either to use or to waste his God-substance. God-substance is made up of rich creative ideas that are to be brought forth with joy and enthusiasm, with activity and attention, for these make up the fullness of living. Life is living and this is man’s purpose for being.
 
Living is accomplishment in the field of outer expression of the inner fullness. These God ideas are charged with energy and vitality that is transmitted to mind and to every cell of the body. So to work with God-given ideas, which are in reality the desires of our heart and our need for expression, is to charge your body with new life and vigor.
 
Old age is not years passed but loss of God-substance in the form of ideas unused and untried. Old age is a state of mind that is established by a soul that refuses to be young; for the young live and love. Old age is a closed book, a soul gone to sleep, “retired” for life. “Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead.” (Ephesians 5:14)
 
The Mission of Jesus was to awaken man; it was also the Mission of Moses. It is your purpose and my purpose.
 
Awake, the God-power is your life and your love. You have power and dominion over every moment of your life. Every desire and need of your heart and soul was placed in you for fulfillment.
 
Jesus was not saying, “Look at all the things I can do, I have a special dispensation from God, I alone have power.” No! Only man has interpreted Jesus after this manner. Jesus said, “I am a man that told you the Truth.” (John 8:4) “Is it not written in your law, ye are Gods?” (John 10:34) “I am the door.” (John 10:9) The door is wide open for all of us, but we must carry forth the expression of our true being in ourselves.
 
The door is our own mind and heart. As we believe in God in ourselves as the direction and fulfiller of our being, we shall fulfill the prophecy in the words of Jesus when He said, “. . . the works that I do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do.” (John 14:12)
