Today, Friday, April 1, is the twenty-first day of Lent. Lent is the period of time during which we can prepare ourselves for the Easter experience.
Assignment 21
We may think of the Grace of God as the disposition of a Supreme Power to show mercy on our weaknesses and mistakes. But the Grace of God is the inability of a Supreme Being to be aware of something that is not and could never be. We are always working from the mistaken belief of limitation and the absence of something instead of the fullness of the creation; like the fruit we are predestined to fulfill or become, for we are possessed of God.
There is nothing else for us to be but that which we are. We are only lost to good when we are unaware of it. Sickness, lack, and incompletion of any kind are the result in the outer world of man’s unawareness of his true self. Man does not know the substance of which his body and life are formed.
The body is the out-picturing of our use of God-given faculties and powers. There is not a body to heal, in reality there is no problem to solve, but there is something very important and powerful to know! To know is complete acceptance in mind and feeling! The body responds to the movement of mind. It was not created to be the recipient of fear, hate, worry, anger, humiliation, or millions of other distorted beliefs that are visited upon it by the unknowing mind.
The restoring, renewing power of the inner action goes on ceaselessly. It always seeks for balance which is health, freedom, and fulfillment.
A new structure is actually being formed continuously within our body, momentarily. We register every fear, worry, and uncertainty in our own flesh. What we call healing is but a change of viewpoint, an awareness of the vital substance of life.
Sickness is the end of some state of mind on its way out. Some deep untrue fear, belief or untrue emotion has broken free and has come to the surface to be eliminated in every sickness and every healing. Do not believe in the power of illness, for the flesh of your body is a reality, it is God! God is all and there is nothing else for anything to be. Knowing God is the action of all healing. God is not a power that sends affliction as punishment; this is but a false belief in man’s mind. Jesus healed others by the greatness of His faith; He healed His own body from death because He knew the inner God-Being which He called the Father.
