Peace
25th Day of Lent, Wednesday. Read Matthew 5:14-40.

"Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace,

To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not: Let all
the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's Thy God's and
truth's."

--Shakespeare

The great thought waves that move the world are set into
action by deep thinkers.

Peace and understanding of spiritual realities arise in the
mind when it has made the inner contact. When we know the
work of Spirit in transforming mind and body, we shall see
that the crushing of personal ambitions releases spiritual
ideas of far-reaching influence.

Jesus went back to the very source of all discord, and
showed how all resistance and antagonism must cease. He did
not stop to argue whether the cause was just or not, but He
said, "Agree with thine adversary quickly"; "If any man
would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him
have thy cloak also." To the mortal mind this seems like
foolishness, but Jesus spoke out of the inner wisdom that
knows that it is dangerous to allow any kind of opposing
thoughts to form in consciousness. He knew that the
universal law of justice would adjust all matters, if men
would trust it and cease fighting mentally for their
rights. This is accomplished by bringing the Christ, the
Prince of Peace, to bear
in all our affairs. "My peace I give unto you."

I praise God for the peace of my own higher self. I rejoice
and am glad in the possession of the Holy City within. With
my inner vision I see the gates open wide, and holy peace
pervades my consciousness.

I affirm: "My mind is stayed on Thee, and I rest in Thy
peace and power."

GIVEN THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM
March 9, 2026

One of my mentors referred to the Bible as her ‘contract.’ According to the ‘contract’ God has given each of us “the key” that unlocks the door to eternal riches and promises. This means that we each have unlimited access to God’s goodness. Do we dare to believe that there is nothing that we cannot have, do, be or experience? Do we dare, by God’s authority, open the doors to the infinite storehouse of plenty and experience it beginning NOW?

Begin today to claim your good. Your consciousness is the guard or gatekeeper, and it will ensure that you receive only what you can handle. Your consciousness cannot be fooled. The equivalent in your conscious awareness sets the limit for all that you claim. As you expand your conscious awareness of God’s good, you expand your ability to receive. This is spiritual work and there are no short cuts in the Kingdom of God.

Your prayer and meditation practice will expand your conscious awareness. You’ll receive more because your consciousness will be able to handle more.

“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven…” Matthew 16:19

Zeal

14th Day of Lent, Thursday. Read Luke 10:30-42; 11:1-4.

Zeal is the affirmative impulse of existence; its command
is, "Go forward!" Zeal is the mighty force that incites all
things to action; the eternal urge behind all things. To be
without zeal is to be without the zest of living. Zeal and
enthusiasm incite to glorious achievement in every ideal
that the mind conceives.

Zeal should be tempered with wisdom. Some persons get so
fired with zeal when they first tackle a job, that they
quickly grow tired, and fail to carry it through to
completion. The need is for control, equalization.

Watch the pull of a giant locomotive; note how it slowly
but steadily moves forward, almost by inches at first but
gradually increasing until its mile-long train swiftly
disappears in the distance.

"The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up" means that the
zeal faculty has become so active intellectually that it
has consumed the vitality and left nothing for spiritual
growth. Excessive zeal in religious forms of worship eats
up the purely spiritual. When we become very zealous in
observing the
rites of the church we are prone to forget the church
itself, which is Christ.

The divine command is, "Take time to be holy." I am quick
to do the bidding of Spirit and use a portion of my zeal in
establishing God's kingdom within me. I do not put all my
enthusiasm into helping others; my own unfoldment is of
great importance to me. I love to aid my brother, but I do
not allow that idea to rob me of the power to demonstrate
Truth for myself.

I affirm: "My zeal is tempered with wisdom, and I maintain
a perfect balance within and without."
