“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” http://bible.cc/romans/8-38.htm.
Sometimes we might feel we could use a team of specialists to free us from a challenge we are feeling trapped by, but we really are in a better situation that we think, our connection with God is unbreakable. There’s nothing between God and His image. No challenge, no lack, only LOVE.
ESPAÑOL
“Por lo cual estoy cierto que ni la muerte, ni la vida, ni ángeles, ni principados, ni potestades, ni lo presente, ni lo por venir, ni lo alto, ni lo bajo, ni ninguna criatura nos podrá apartar del amor de Dios, que es en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro” http://bibliaparalela.com/romans/8-38.htm.
A veces nos sentimos que podríamos beneficiarnos de un equipo de especialistas para que nos libere de algún desfío en el que nos sentimos atrapados, pero en realidad estamos en mejor situación de lo que creemos, nuestro conección con Dios es irrompible. No hay nada entre medio de Dios y Su imagen. No hay desafío, no hay carestía, solo AMOR.

Thank you for your insightful message, Josh.
I was also grateful for Jessica and Poul's rescue in Somalia on Wednesday, following their kidnapping last October by pirates. The US Special Forces operations rescue that included Navy SEAL Team 6 was precisely what was needed at the time to get Poul and Jessica safely on their way back home to their families.
Josh's point that many people might enjoy having a team of specialists available to free them when they were feeling trapped by their own circumstances is valid. So is the fact that each idea of God has the divine influence of the Christ to impel it forward, and to protect it along the way. Man is an emanation of God, and this emanating force brings with it freedom and security, light and stability, and success to every operation of divine Principle. When we employ the Christ in each God impelled activity of our day, we can always feel the benefit of this divine presence that meets every human need.
Every idea of God has its own special operations support. The question "What cannot God do?" is often asked, and the answer is that God is always able to impart goodness and wisdom, peace and order. The definition of grace is "the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude." As we pray each day to have our heart be influenced only by God, then the work for that day -the reflection in the life- has the support of infinite ideas that mirror God's presence and infinite care.

Qué, no puede hacer Dios? Ser consciente del error y u oir al mal, y nosotros, ¿qué no debemos hacer? apartarnos de esa linea invisible e indisoluble que nos una a Él que es el Amor, el especialista máximo que conoce cada necesidad y tiene el mejor tratamiento el más seguro y efectivo la medicina espiritual que va hasta lo más profundo y corrige las supuestas falencias llevando muchas veces de la mano a hechos y logros inesperados, La sra. Eddy nos dice en CyS, " cómo podemos Comprobar irrefutablemente la Verdad espiritual que destruye el error material sanando la enfermedad y la muerte" porque el tratamiento espiritual va más allá de nuestro propio entendimiento, reconociendo y comprendiendo, "Que todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece" Filipenses.

Thanks. This reminds me of something a friend said a long time ago, when I was going on a long car trip with another friend though winter weather. She (who had traveled thousands of miles for work) said, "I like to think 'God is Love, and I am in it -- every mile, and every minute.' I thanked her for the thought, but inwardly felt the words were childish, and I wouldn't think of it again. Instead, during the trip I came to feel it was a childlike prayer. I thought of the words, and the ideas behind the words, many times on icy, dangerous highways. We made it safely, with many lessons learned!

Thank you so much Josh. Of course it's all true, about not ever being separated from God. I have a book: "The Greatest Answer" by Margaret Lee Runbeck. It's a compilation of first hand stories of people during the Second World War, who, by their prayers to God were saved from bombing; from shipwreck; from crashing while flying through power lines in the dark of night. Because they believed in God, and knew even one Bible verse, they were protected, lifted from danger, led, fed, taken to a safe place away from that terrifying danger and were able to live with the tiniest amount of food. Young men, scarcely more than boys were able to survive for up to 130 days on a raft adrift in an ocean, remembering only a couple of lines from a hymn their mother sang. The book is still available and so inspiring, that every one could gain courage to just expect rescue, and why? Because they were certain that God loved them. Because they realized that it is impossible to be separated from God.
Thank you Nate and the team; thanks to the BoL and the lecturers; and thanks to the "honest seekers for Truth" for their Comments to the world every day.

Recently, I agreed to hire a specialist and as I did, I thought, Christ to Christ. Christ is in charge.
Everything is being done properly. God bless the work! This lift is a good reminder of our oneness with God. Comforting.
Did you notice that President Obama knew about the outcome of the Navy Seals operation at the State of the Union Address? He whispered "success" to the Secretary of Defense, as he leaned over Hillary. He might have gained politically by sharing this success with the American people in his speech, but he waited until all were safely home before allowing the announcement. Wisdom and forbearance is a quality of God that is good expressed in a President of the United States.

I, too, was delighted to read the news of the rescue on the Monitor web site and was so grateful. I'm also very grateful for your inspiring message, Josh. I just love hymn #35 which begins, "I know no life divided, O Lord of life, from Thee;" and the second verse begins, "I fear no tribulation, Since what so e'er it be, It makes no separation Between my Lord and me:"
"The Greatest Answer" sounds like a good book to read. Thanks Margaret Sunshine Coast Australia for the recommendation.

In this week's Bible Lesson, Mrs. Eddy writes on page 276: "Man and his Maker are correlated in divine Science..." One definition of "correlated" from myBibleLesson.com is "connected" which struck a note with me and I've carried it with me all week. Our connection with God can never be broken or severed, no matter our circumstances. How blessed we are.

Thanks so much, Josh. I will tell the Marine recruits that they too have a team of help at their right hand every where they go when they graduate and beyond. I have given them a little "pocket card". On one side there is "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need". (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy.) and on the other side there are two verses from the 91st Psalm in the Bible. Some of the recruits are now looking to these helpful thoughts all through their hard training exercises to keep them on track! I love that they and we have all the good that has ever been demonstrated by mankind as a back up assuring us that God does help his children.

Muy sanador tu Daily Lift, Josh!!! agradezco muchísimo tu mensaje , da seguridad y confianza recordar la inquebrantable relación con Dios, nuestro Padre/Madre . Como lo expresa mrs. Eddy:
'Las relaciones entre Dios y el hombre- el Principio divino y la idea divina, son indestructibles en la Ciencia ' (cys p 470 )
En esta relación sagrada y única encontramos las respuestas a desafíos o desarmonías en nuestra experiencia de vida .
Saber que sólo existe el Amor Infinito y c/u unido a este Amor , es un antídoto para calmar el temor y las angustias terrenales. Y esta liberación es requisito previo para lograr cualquier curación .
Agradezco mucho los comentarios previos .
Un abrazo grande y Bendiciones a todos, Ma. Cristy

This is a simple but powerful message that our unity with God is unbreakable. I also enjoyed your lecture on teaching our youth to defend themselves against mental ambushes with the Christ Truth.
Having done volunteer work for suicide prevention our youth need to know they are not alone or unloved. You message today addresses this issue which includes the LGBT community as we are all God's children. As you stated each of us is loved and protected.
Keep up the good work for the Christian Science movement by being an inspiration and role model for all our youth.

Another wonderful thought to live by, thank you.
A student of Mrs. Eddy's was having no success in healing a man injured by shrapnel. Mrs. Eddy thought a moment and responded, "you are laboring under the belief that there was a war."
As I have pondered this over many years, I now understand that, if God is all good, there is no room for any inharmony at all of any sort -- ever.
The media tries to sell war, inharmony, violence, mayhem, at an early age to our children. Our job is to return the merchandise for truth.
Thanks to #23 Margaret for the recommendation of the book on those healed. Another interesting book on the subject is, "Hello Mr. God, this is Anna. It's about a youngster experiencing healing through her conversations with her Father-Mother God.

Every time I retire for the night, and every time I wake in the morning, I think to myself this simple prayer. Not only do I include myself but almost every one that I know. It works for me and it works for them, even thou they are not Christion Scientists. This is the prayer; "My spiritual identity is intact and can not be SEPARATED from God." If I pray for some one named Gaitree, it will go as, "Gaitree's spiritual identity is intact, and can not be separated from God." and so on and so on, all the people I know. The name mentioned is just for example.

I was also grateful for Jessica and Poul's rescue in Somalia on Wednesday, following their kidnapping last October by pirates. The US Special Forces operations rescue that included Navy SEAL Team 6 was precisely what was needed at the time to get Poul and Jessica safely on their way back home to their families.
Josh's point that many people might enjoy having a team of specialists available to free them when they were feeling trapped by their own circumstances is valid. So is the fact that each idea of God has the divine influence of the Christ to impel it forward, and to protect it along the way. Man is an emanation of God, and this emanating force brings with it freedom and security, light and stability, and success to every operation of divine Principle. When we employ the Christ in each God impelled activity of our day, we can always feel the benefit of this divine presence that meets every human need.
Every idea of God has its own special operations support. The question "What cannot God do?" is often asked, and the answer is that God is always able to impart goodness and wisdom, peace and order. The definition of grace is "the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude." As we pray each day to have our heart be influenced only by God, then the work for that day -the reflection in the life- has the support of infinite ideas that mirror God's presence and infinite care.

- 1/26/2012Qué, no puede hacer Dios? Ser consciente del error y u oir al mal, y nosotros, ¿qué no debemos hacer? apartarnos de esa linea invisible e indisoluble que nos una a Él que es el Amor, el especialista máximo que conoce cada necesidad y tiene el mejor tratamiento el más seguro y efectivo la medicina espiritual que va hasta lo más profundo y corrige las supuestas falencias llevando muchas veces de la mano a hechos y logros inesperados, La sra. Eddy nos dice en CyS, " cómo podemos Comprobar irrefutablemente la Verdad espiritual que destruye el error material sanando la enfermedad y la muerte" porque el tratamiento espiritual va más allá de nuestro propio entendimiento, reconociendo y comprendiendo, "Que todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece" Filipenses.

Marilyn from Maine
- 1/26/2012Thanks. This reminds me of something a friend said a long time ago, when I was going on a long car trip with another friend though winter weather. She (who had traveled thousands of miles for work) said, "I like to think 'God is Love, and I am in it -- every mile, and every minute.' I thanked her for the thought, but inwardly felt the words were childish, and I wouldn't think of it again. Instead, during the trip I came to feel it was a childlike prayer. I thought of the words, and the ideas behind the words, many times on icy, dangerous highways. We made it safely, with many lessons learned!

Margaret Sunshine Coast Australia
- 1/26/2012Thank you so much Josh. Of course it's all true, about not ever being separated from God. I have a book: "The Greatest Answer" by Margaret Lee Runbeck. It's a compilation of first hand stories of people during the Second World War, who, by their prayers to God were saved from bombing; from shipwreck; from crashing while flying through power lines in the dark of night. Because they believed in God, and knew even one Bible verse, they were protected, lifted from danger, led, fed, taken to a safe place away from that terrifying danger and were able to live with the tiniest amount of food. Young men, scarcely more than boys were able to survive for up to 130 days on a raft adrift in an ocean, remembering only a couple of lines from a hymn their mother sang. The book is still available and so inspiring, that every one could gain courage to just expect rescue, and why? Because they were certain that God loved them. Because they realized that it is impossible to be separated from God.
Thank you Nate and the team; thanks to the BoL and the lecturers; and thanks to the "honest seekers for Truth" for their Comments to the world every day.

- 1/26/2012Recently, I agreed to hire a specialist and as I did, I thought, Christ to Christ. Christ is in charge.
Everything is being done properly. God bless the work! This lift is a good reminder of our oneness with God. Comforting.
Did you notice that President Obama knew about the outcome of the Navy Seals operation at the State of the Union Address? He whispered "success" to the Secretary of Defense, as he leaned over Hillary. He might have gained politically by sharing this success with the American people in his speech, but he waited until all were safely home before allowing the announcement. Wisdom and forbearance is a quality of God that is good expressed in a President of the United States.

Lori in California
- 1/26/2012I, too, was delighted to read the news of the rescue on the Monitor web site and was so grateful. I'm also very grateful for your inspiring message, Josh. I just love hymn #35 which begins, "I know no life divided, O Lord of life, from Thee;" and the second verse begins, "I fear no tribulation, Since what so e'er it be, It makes no separation Between my Lord and me:"
"The Greatest Answer" sounds like a good book to read. Thanks Margaret Sunshine Coast Australia for the recommendation.

Thank you for delivering this Lift in such a natural and humble, easy to understand, way...without "hecatombs of gushing theories, stereotyped borrowed speeches and the doling of arguments...."!! What a comfort it is to KNOW - thru the Bible's words and examples and thru our own prayers and listening and realizing - that as God's very own emanation or reflection, we can never be outside of His Love and Constant Care! God knows and loves each of us so very much! Know this and be Free! Love to All! XOXO!

- 1/26/2012Lovely idea, the 'A' or 'angel' team perhaps, always with us, for we are never separated from God. Thank you too, Margaret (23) for the book reference.I have always been so impressed that political prisoners often write of he greatest love of God when incarcerated (a great example in the New testament is Paul) Prison can be mental as well as physical, and your message Josh, today is inspirational. Thank you.
Judy S
- 1/26/2012Thanks, Josh. You comforting message is a subject I have been thinking about. In "Unity of Good" pg. 24, 8-9, Mrs. Eddy writes "....God is All-in-all; and you can never be outside of His oneness." Thank you Nate and your staff, the lecturers, and all who share their thoughts each day.
Carol
- 1/26/2012In this week's Bible Lesson, Mrs. Eddy writes on page 276: "Man and his Maker are correlated in divine Science..." One definition of "correlated" from myBibleLesson.com is "connected" which struck a note with me and I've carried it with me all week. Our connection with God can never be broken or severed, no matter our circumstances. How blessed we are.
Thank you for your beautiful words, Josh.

When I looked at it again,I burst out laughing at the sweet picture before me.God was doing the driving and we-all His children- were safe in His care and He knew the direction and destination, and we were totally free and happy.What a feeling of love and comfort accompanied that recognition.
I thought of it again today in listening to your loving lift,Josh.Thank you.

Sally from San Diego
- 1/26/2012Thanks so much, Josh. I will tell the Marine recruits that they too have a team of help at their right hand every where they go when they graduate and beyond. I have given them a little "pocket card". On one side there is "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need". (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy.) and on the other side there are two verses from the 91st Psalm in the Bible. Some of the recruits are now looking to these helpful thoughts all through their hard training exercises to keep them on track! I love that they and we have all the good that has ever been demonstrated by mankind as a back up assuring us that God does help his children.

María Cristina Vega Bórquez - Santa Fe-Argentina
- 1/26/2012Muy sanador tu Daily Lift, Josh!!! agradezco muchísimo tu mensaje , da seguridad y confianza recordar la inquebrantable relación con Dios, nuestro Padre/Madre . Como lo expresa mrs. Eddy:
'Las relaciones entre Dios y el hombre- el Principio divino y la idea divina, son indestructibles en la Ciencia ' (cys p 470 )
En esta relación sagrada y única encontramos las respuestas a desafíos o desarmonías en nuestra experiencia de vida .
Saber que sólo existe el Amor Infinito y c/u unido a este Amor , es un antídoto para calmar el temor y las angustias terrenales. Y esta liberación es requisito previo para lograr cualquier curación .
Agradezco mucho los comentarios previos .
Un abrazo grande y Bendiciones a todos, Ma. Cristy

- 1/26/2012Thank you, Josh.
This is a simple but powerful message that our unity with God is unbreakable. I also enjoyed your lecture on teaching our youth to defend themselves against mental ambushes with the Christ Truth.
Having done volunteer work for suicide prevention our youth need to know they are not alone or unloved. You message today addresses this issue which includes the LGBT community as we are all God's children. As you stated each of us is loved and protected.
Keep up the good work for the Christian Science movement by being an inspiration and role model for all our youth.
Enjoyed today's Daily Lift.

- 1/26/2012Another wonderful thought to live by, thank you.
A student of Mrs. Eddy's was having no success in healing a man injured by shrapnel. Mrs. Eddy thought a moment and responded, "you are laboring under the belief that there was a war."
As I have pondered this over many years, I now understand that, if God is all good, there is no room for any inharmony at all of any sort -- ever.
The media tries to sell war, inharmony, violence, mayhem, at an early age to our children. Our job is to return the merchandise for truth.
Thanks to #23 Margaret for the recommendation of the book on those healed. Another interesting book on the subject is, "Hello Mr. God, this is Anna. It's about a youngster experiencing healing through her conversations with her Father-Mother God.
with much love, and gratitude,

- 4/2/2012Every time I retire for the night, and every time I wake in the morning, I think to myself this simple prayer. Not only do I include myself but almost every one that I know. It works for me and it works for them, even thou they are not Christion Scientists. This is the prayer; "My spiritual identity is intact and can not be SEPARATED from God." If I pray for some one named Gaitree, it will go as, "Gaitree's spiritual identity is intact, and can not be separated from God." and so on and so on, all the people I know. The name mentioned is just for example.
