Today, Thursday, April 14, is the thirty-second day of Lent. Lent is the period of time during which we can prepare ourselves for the Easter experience.
Assignment 32
God is all, the only power and presence in the universe. It is the invisible essence in and through and back of all activity. God is Spirit, spirit is breath and life and movement. God being all, fills all, fills man! Each person must reconcile his or her outer expression with this great Truth.
In proportion that we understand and come into full awareness of our relationship with the power back of us, that sustains us, and is each one of us, shall we have dominion and authority in life. The dominion and authority is not a personal thing but the result in us of abandonment, which is a release that comes when man is aware of his at-one-ment. Atonement is concord, reconciliation, in Truth it is unity, to be unified.
All disorder and discord in life is the direct result of a sense of separation from the power that gives us purpose for being. Man never fell, his creation is spiritual, he is just as spiritual today as he ever was or ever will be, but he must be alive to and aware of his own background and relationship to the Almighty. We can no longer think of ourselves as a single being but move in unison with the great universal presence. We must know we are perfect potential proving God.
Don’t try to understand it . . . accept it, you cannot help it. Relax, move, and be eager for life! You are an instrument of God instructed from within. Things may be disturbing or disconcerting but it is the order and balance of the universal plan. You look at your life and judging from the limitations of human sense, you say, “It is too bad, too late.” There is a greater law; look up from the contemplation of your little problem to your Oneness with God.
You are not just flesh and blood, not just body and brains, not hemmed in by the restrictions of a little thing you call “my life.” You have unknown possibilities. You are the executive power of God, and only through willing co-operation can the power come through. Atonement, the reconciliation of God and man, is happening to us all right now.

God is Blessing You, Right Now!
