Today, Sunday, March 27, is the third Sunday in Lent. Lent is the period of time during which we can prepare ourselves for the Easter experience.
 
Here is the message for the third Sunday in Lent:
 
 
Conservation
 
We need to conserve the precious substance of life. We destroy our bodies by fear, hate, condemnation, worry, or mental turmoil of any kind. Mental and emotional strain is the greatest power against us – it is our misuse of the life substance by our failing to recognize and acknowledge the Life which is God.
 
We renew and recreate our bodies, and open the doors of our mind for free flowing ideas as we conserve this sub-stance of life with awareness of God-life and to refuse false beliefs.
 
God is the substance of life, ever present! We were created of this substance; it is eternal, ever-renewing and everlasting. We waste this substance by following the sense mind. We are wasting the only substance on earth that can heal our bodies and set us free. It is the God substance we use by action of our mind that renews and recreates.
 
The recognition of God living within, always present, is the power in action “which to know aright is life eternal.” God is not the God of the dead but of the living, Jesus said. God of the living is always present awaiting our recognition.
 
Charles Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity movement, says, “Our youth we love so well never really dies, it merely falls asleep in the realm of the subconscious. We let go of the life idea.”
 
We must renew in us the idea of life and free the energies to renew and recreate. This is the beginning of the process that will overcome the last enemy, death. We live in the New Age, the age of restoration and revelation.
 
To our human mind these ideas seem impossible, but all things are possible with God and with man when he embraces God ideas. The human consciousness is limited and limiting. We worry and fret ourselves out of the Kingdom of God which is within us. Constant attention to the God idea within is to release and quicken the vital substance.
 
Joy and happiness, love and faith, oneness with others, expectancy, anticipation, believing in the things our heart tells us is real and true is the way of Conservation – is the way of the restoration of the physical body, it is the beginning of the journey to Easter morning.
