Know the truth of your being

Emily Cady wrote,
“It is time for us to awake to right thoughts, and know that we are not servants, but children, and if children then heirs. ...Heirs of all wisdom, ...to all love, ...of all strength, all life, all power, all good.”
  
The heir is the spiritual self, the spiritual being that you are. It is not this marvelous ego that has been developed for us to dance through the world. The ego guides this temporary persona that we have jumped into. It doesn't know how to be the heir. When you journeyed into life, it wasn't that you weren't to meet the experiences that were there, those of abundance and lack, of fear and joy, of peace and harmony and of conflict, because those are ideas within this realm that we journey. The ego is to be cared for by the spiritual self, which guides it into being an instrument to touch the world and know its goodness.

When Jesus said “the kingdom is at hand”, he meant that we can touch life and experience the presence of God. We can experience the goodness of the realm, its beauty, its wholeness, its abundance. We can know the Presence in every experience, and that is the kingdom of heaven, and it is here and now. Just as people from the court go ahead of their prince announcing his coming and making easy his way, know and affirm,

“Divine Love goes before me, making easy, joyous, and successful my way.”

The vision of you in God Mind

Motherhood connects us with a powerful aspect of the Divine Presence, that of the nurturing Divine Mother. We get to touch an aspect of what God is (knowing there is no place where God ends and we start). A mother awakens to a spiritual vision, seeing her child as a spiritual being, seeing the potential of that soul in the life experience. She is always calling forth that potential. The mother sees a wonderful, beautiful, radiant being.

The expression of that Divine Mother principle is in you whether you are male or female; it is a part of your connection with the Divine. This spiritual Divine Vision sees the Christ in your being, that level where you are one with the presence and power of God. It is always calling forth, saying it's time to step up into your being-- it's time to get on with what you are about, who you are.

Accept the vision that is held of you by God. You are a radiant, powerful, intelligent, purposeful, spiritual being. You are here about what your soul has committed to do. You have the full power and intelligence and capability to accomplish everything that is on your heart, and you are a blessing to everyone in your life! That is the vision in God's mind of who you are. Accept it with these words, “I am a child of God! A blessing to all I meet!” It is the truth. It is who you are. It is what you are here for. What you are is so magnificent, and God sees it!
