Time and space
In our dealings with each other including business and social interaction, we are working from the concept of time and space. Time being the reference to when and space being the reference to where. The Omnipresence of God means that God is in all space all of the time. The Omnipotence of God means that God is all power. God being Omniscient means that all Knowledge and Intelligence is of and by God. So where does that leave us? How can we have individual choice?
Cosmologists theorize that our beginnings began with the Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago, at which time and space started. Not that you would, but if you asked where it all began, the answer would be EVERYWHERE. Now we are getting to the understanding of God. All energy, everywhere all of the time. While we recognize God is Love, we must also see that love rules by law. The energy of God is impersonal, in that everyone is equally a child of the Most High. Each of us can use the Law equally and we are. The difference is that some are aware and use the law for betterment, while others plod alone taking potluck as their slice of life.
Lest you think that the galaxies, the stars and planets remain fixed in the space, time continuum, everything is in a constant state of change. There is no same ole’, same ole’. All things are continually being made new. A life of drudgery continues on its course because there is no expectation for anything else. You are not just a collection of atoms and molecules with little or no direction or goal. God is personal to all that recognize and make the law work for them. Jesus said, “It is done unto you as you believe.” This we call THE LAW OF MIND. We don’t need a big bang to expand our living. We need new ideas and dreams to move out the old stagnation of futility. The most powerful force in the Universe is love and we need to express it in all that we do.
New ideas may present a problem for dogmas and restrictive ideals of some faiths but spiritual growth is forever evolving on an ascending scale. Few, if any of us can fit into the same clothes we wore when we were younger. We grew out of them. As the Universe is expanding so must we with our ideas and our mind. Wars and rumors of wars began with prejudicial thinking against one group, country or nation. Love is all inclusive. It has no prejudice. Creation is forever taking place. Let it be productive and beneficial by guiding the winds of change your way. Expect more to be more. God holds nothing back.
Say to yourself, “In this ever-evolving universe I let love guide, maintain and sustain me. God is love and loving me. I welcome change knowing that life is progressive and nurturing. I release old ideas and concepts of limitation and lack.
God is Love and Loving Me Right Now!
