Since Jesus wholly went "about his Father's (God's) business, " from childhood and up to and through the crucifixion, "treading alone his loving pathway up to the throne of glory, in speechless agony exploring the way for us,"(S&H), being proclaimed as "the author and finisher of our race, " by Paul, then yes, wholly following and finding Jesus is my sole desire....

Thank you Lindsey for this excellent Lift. Jesus demonstrated man's wholeness, man's oneness with God. This not only enabled him to physically heal those in need, but to transform their character and action. Referring to Jesus, Mary Baker Eddy says in Miscellaneous Writings, "He established health and harmony, the perfection of mind and body, as the reality of man; ..."

Thank you! This last week or so, I've been somewhat impressed with the belief of a physical challenge. I looked up wholeness, and it is defined in part as 'free of wound', 'free from disease', 'complete' and 'restored'. I'm loving thinking of myself this morning as God's perfect, whole expression - rejoicing because I am spiritually whole.

Whole, well, and rejoicing- as God's perfect expression- it just doesn't get any better than this! What a comfort, Lindsey, for myself, and all mankind. Thank You!

In Genesis 1: 26, 27 God creates man to His own likeness,
Later on, in Exodus 3, when Moses doubted his ability to guide the Children of Israel out of Egypt, God introduced Himself as I AM, this didn’t puzzled Moses, he knew he was the image of the great I AM.
Knowing this qualified Moses to fulfill his mission.

En Génesis 1: 26, 27 Dios crea al hombre a Su imagen y semejanza,
Más tarde, en Éxodo 3, cuando Moisés dudaba de su capacidad para guiar a los hijos de Israel de Egipto, Dios se presentó como YO SOY, esto no sorprendió a Moisés, él sabía que ya era la imagen del gran YO SOY.
El saber esto calificó a Moisés para cumplir su misión.

Thank you, Lindsey, for this beautiful Lift today. It is just what I need now and always.

Thank you Lindsey for a most helpful and apt message today. I have had the thought of man's wholeness in consciousness a lot lately, since my grandson appeared to have broken his leg in a motorbike mishap. The idea of his complete wholeness came to me when visiting him in hospital yesterday when I saw the number of his bed was 7. The seven synonyms for God which man expresses are without fragmentation or breakage. Andrew has never been anything but the whole, complete expression of his Father-Mother-God. As Morning Glory #3 says "free from wound" complete and restored" Thank you again for your lift and to other "lifters" comments, and Nathan for this most helpful daily podcast.

thank you lindsey.Having recently both these situatoins in mind it is very reassuring to confirm our "wholeness",perfection,joy,uninterupted harmony........to hang onto this concept with all our might and heart. peace and love to you all.

I LOOOVE this..."a Principle of wholeness that applies to my life"....Thank you!

Our inheritance cannot be divided. This was the erroneous thought that the prodigal son and his brother suffered. But how can God's infinite complete inheritance be claimed by each one? Through understanding that Life is spiritual, not physical. Hunger for Love makes our inheritance whole, and belongs to each one of us.
We learn to balance ourselves and walk before we learn to run. And then we jump, if we want to.
Thank you for the Lift, I hear walking footsteps now.

Thank you for this inspiring lift. We are whole, holy intact and perfect - a beautiful idea to know during today. I too love the specific definition of 'wholeness', (Lift 3) which helps me see that by claiming our completeness with God we manifest this wholeness as spiritual protection, sustaining and establishing our freedom from disease, and all the etceteras, a treatment within itself.
Many blessings to all the Lifters, and particularly the Team who bring these spiritual ideas to fruition every day.

Thank you Lindsey : just so well expressed, great!

Thank you Lindsey.

Wunderbar, danke sehr!

Lindsey, Thank you for a very helpful lift

Thank you, Lindsay. I love the idea of being willing to see myself as the full expression of health and happiness.

Many thanks Lindsey for this inspiring lift on wholeness and rejoicing. Yes. "Rejoice, for thou art whole." (Christian Science Hymnal #374). "This gentle grace of Love divine/ Is sweet as breath of opening flower./ Self-love and harshness disappear/ Beneath its tender, healing power." (Christian Science Hymnal #243),

Thank you Lindsey, that was a really helpful lift!

Beautiful Lindsey - thank you so much!

Thank you, we can always be about our Fathers business when we know that we and everyone are loving reflecting only good.

Thank you for this clear "uplift". I've also thought that not only "willingness" but "expectation of receiving" is key to healings related in the Bible.

Thank you for this lovely lift. Like Di (#9) I love the idea that God, Truth, is applying only his own perfect Selfhood to me, to mine, and to all. Hence our wholeness. Thank you.

And thank you for the lovely lecture you gave in Morecambe just recently. It was beautifully composed and delivered; and blessed the audience.

Indudablemente somos porción de ese Uno y todo-Dios, por lo tanto no hemos sido creados, simplemente somos en Él. Eso es lo que nos hace aptos para demosrarlo en una reconciliación indispensable que parte de si mismo, porque es la comprensión de que fuera de Dios nada hay, como así aprendemos, como así lo manifestó Cristo y lo probó con sus obras llenas de bondad y Amor en un reconocimiento absoluto de Su totalidad, negando enfáticamente el resto.

Cristo Jesús dijo: "Yo y el Padre uno somos " Yo, uno con el YO SOY, pero no nos apartó a nosotros sino que nos unió a El, de hecho y en Verdad, igualando hacia arriba, elevando la mira a una realidad que es nuestra, el ser de Dios.

Muchas gracias Lindsey, por el mensaje.

thank you lindsey.

Great lift! Thanks Lindsey!

Thanks! As a coach and former athlete I've been working on the issue of health + happiness and harmony (wholeness) and your lift was perfectly timed.

Thank you for this great Lift. I've been working recently with the idea of identity as God-defined. God created us in His image and likeness. He called us by His name we are His. He identified us as God-like. Our true spiritual identity is our spiritual sense of body. I embody only that which is God-like, the very essence of God. Therefore, I embody only wholeness and completeness, wellness-the law of God

Thanks from the bottom heart for the message I needed to hear today to demonstrate my perfect wholeness. And I have enjoyed that precious little voice at the end of each Lift this week.

Thankyou so much for the wonderful lift.

Our wholeness is the full and perfect expression of God, of His Love and Intelligence... Whe can rejoice for that whole!!! Lovely ideas Lindsey!! Your English is perfect. Thank you!
Thx DL Community

This is a keeper Lindsey. Thank you. This is downloaded on my phone forever. Also, thank you Nate and your precious one who gave the benediction.

Hello Lindsey,

Thank you so much.

It is only Christian Science that allows one to ask questions and keep on doing so for ETERNITY.
It teaches us how to ask the right question's.

One was gently told that,"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures was not a novel.
That it was a Research Book".

What an adventure.

Love in Christ

Peter.

Thank you, Lindsey, for giving us a higher view of health. "We must seek the undivided garment, the whole Christ, as our first proof of Christianity, for Christ, Truth, alone can furnish us with absolute evidence." (Science and Health, pg. 142)

Complete, whole, upright, and free! That's all of Gods xhildren! Thanks for the reminder in your great lift, Lindsey!

Thank you for this lovely, really useful sense of what Jesus was asking this man to do -- think differently about himself. That will help me in teaching my Sunday School class. :-) Of course, it helps me in general too! So, so grateful for these Daily Lifts!

Thank you so much, Lindsey. What a clear and complete description of healthiness, - "whole" running parallel to the parable of the man who was released from the bondage of a belief of sickness that had certainly held him bound for pretty well all of his life .` I always loved this healing of self-justification.
Thank you Nate and the team; the board of Lectureship and the Daily Lifters.

That was what i needed. Thank You I Love the daily lift its one of the ways to start your day.

Love this , Thank You !

Muchas Gracias por ensenharme y ratificar que : yo soy la imagen exacta, de YO SOY
Gracias Iglesia Madre por haber sido inspirados a colocar el Daily Lift en beneficio
de la humanidad

Just so beautiful!

thank you for this daily lift

I cherish the idea of a "Principle of wholeness". Thank you for this inspiring Lift.

Thank you so much Lindsey, we are whole(not broken, not diseased) and do express health and happiness everyday. So glad I listened to this lift this morning.

What a great way to start each day! I like this idea that Jesus was asking the man to not only be healed of this malady, but get a whole new view of life...BE WHOLE! Thanks you!

This is a healing and a blessing for the
whole world that is in need of knowing its
wholeness. Thank you for this encircling
message.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What a wake-up call. I really needed this. Seeming limitations are not mine and I can do all that I have to do because I am whole and complete. That's how God made me and that's what I will reflect today and everyday. Thank you so much Lindsey.
And, as always, my love and appreciation to all who bring us these Lifts and to the family of commentators who share their love and ideas.

Dear Lindsey. What a comforting message this morning as I am currently in turmoil. But your reassuring words draw me away from the material into the spiritual being that I really am and feel securely grounded in the presence of Christ and God omnipotent supreme. Thanks to you and be richly blessed. Blessings also to the darling little child's concluding comments; how sweet her words. Much love to the Daily Lift team.

I go to bed knowing that I am the full perfect expression of God.My room radiates with God's love protection. I sleep soundly.

Lovely message. Healing is not just about patching up the body, that is the inevitable, right effect, but it is all about our spiritual wholeness. Love the child closing at the end too. So precious.

Yes, "Rejoice for thou art whole!" As I was singing those hymn words in Church a while ago, it suddenly dawned on me that they didn't mean that now you've been healed, so rejoice for you are whole, but that even if the scene of material senses seems less than perfect, right NOW we can rejoice for our true being is whole always. It's the rejoicing and gratitude that brings the healing.

Thank you LIndsey also for reminding us of the Principle of wholeness/holiness.

Thank you, Lindsey, for “What does it mean to be whole? … ‘Wilt thou be made whole?’ … Jesus always challenged people to think differently about things … ‘Man is the full and perfect expression of God’ …” Christian Science has brought to my attention that I don’t have to accept sin, sickness, disease, or death as part of the human experience. I have the right and responsibility to challenge, overcome, and even remove those impositions with the Truth of being. “Man is the full and perfect expression of God.” I think of that impotent man, “which had an infirmity thirty and eight years” being asked if he were willing to be made whole. Why wouldn’t anyone want to be set free - to be “made whole?” I think of myself when I’ve needed a healing, especially if it’s been a long time in coming and maybe I didn’t even expect a healing any more. Whatever my “infirmity,” it was something I had accepted as part of the definition of myself. As soon as the impotent rises and takes up his bed, he is no longer a beggar laying at the gate or the mercy of others. His identity and lifestyle is challenged. By his wholeness, he is redefined. I think of times when I wanted a healing but maybe not “wholly.” I wasn’t quite ready to step out of my comfort zone of self-identity and lifestyle - even with the flaws or discomforts. Comfort. Familiarity. Friends? My willingness to accept myself as whole continues as I yield to God’s definition of me as a “perfect expression.” All is well. Healing happens.

My grandson was diagnosed as Autistic. I was first shocked by this, but a kind person on the Community Discussion Website had informed me to pray for his wholeness to be realized by all with a simple and profound word, not words, but one word: BEAUTIFUL, in this way; he is beAUtiful. Get it. It requires a little thought but whenever I think of him, I know that he is beAUtiful.

Thanks Lindsey - this explanation of the Bible extract and insight on 'wholeness' is of great spiritual help and value.

Thank you for highlighting this question. This also pertains in these troubled times when the health and stability of nations are at risk, to see the whole of man at peace, in an orderly atmosphere of Love, God, and Life, responsive to the Christ and this commanding question, "Wilt thou be made whole?".

Thank you Lindsey, "He's got the whole world in his hands."

p.s. loved your lecture in Morcombe u.k

Sincerest gratitude for this lovely, healing Lift! Am praying with the "wholeness of Principle" and finding joy, hope, comfort, healing - and knowing this Principle includes all! Thank you, Lindsey, Lift Team, all!

Thank you Lindsey. Thanks everyone. Thanks DL team.

Thank you for this beautiful expression of wholeness.

Thanks soooo much for the awareness
of our completeness.... in all the moments
of our days ... what JOY!

Your message and the little angel at the end ARE JUST DELICIOUS.

Thank you Lindsey for those uplifting words, coming at the right time. Blessings to you also. x

Thank you for this message that each of us is the whole and perfect expression of God. Such a lovely and uplifting thought to bring into our day.

Amen...just hold that thought. Thank you...love your voice.

Once had a practitioner ask me the question ,"wilt thou be made whole?". I was taken back it didn't seem appropriate to ask. Here I was begging for help, ofncourse I wanted to be whole, how could there be any question on their mind about that. I continued explaining my misery and again was almost interrupted with the question "wilt thou be made whole?" and again and again I was asked this. I was annoyed . But then I got it did I want to muddle continually in my misery or truly to the heart of the matter , did I want to be made whole, it made me think. I had become so accustom to muddleing that the true concept of REALLY becoming whole quieted me and I really had to ask myself the question!

Fantastic Daily Lift. I got so much good from it, Lindsey, and sent it on to some friends who will also benefit greatly from your words. I am truly grateful for you and all of the wonderful people who provide this daily treatment of GOOD.

So very clear and complete. Thank you!

Thank you so much, I wondered why Jesus asked that also, and now I understand. thanks so much.

So very comforting... thank you very much!

Thank you, Lindsey, for your uplifting message this morning. I especially appreciated your comment that there is a principle of wholeness that applies to my life even if my heart seems to be broken. When my son suddenly passed a few years ago I was devastated, but with God's grace and the wonderful, loving support of my husband, I began to work through the grief. Then I felt my heart break all over again when my husband passed last year after a short illness. I still struggle to understand "why" since he was such a dedicated Christian Scientist. I have listened to today's lift several times now and am diligently striving to see all of us as complete, whole, upright, and free. These daily lifts are so helpful to me, and I love to read everyone's comments that provide additional spiritual insight. I do try to rejoice each day and be grateful for all of God's blessings in my life. Thanks again.

Thank you, Lindsey, for your very helpful lift. It appears from the Bible account that Jesus healed just this one man, among the many invalids waiting around the pool. He must have sensed in this man's thought a dormant receptivity to Christ-healing. But the man needed to acknowledge this readiness, to take action in his own behalf, and to cast out whatever Jesus was referring to when he told the man to "sin no more." It's a wake-up call for us all, and a question I've asked myself recently. Nela (#53), a special thanks for all the ways you identify for applying Jesus' rousing question to ourselves.

Lindsey, while listening to you speak I suddenly realized that I need to apply this question to my thoughts and prayers about my branch church. I recently conducted a memorial service for a key member of our (to mortal eyes) tiny membership. The "remnant" has been struggling with a sense of incompleteness, of perhaps not having adequate numbers to continue to function. That sounds a bit like being an invalid, doesn't it? And we know that that suggestion does not reflect God's view of church so it must be inVALid. So I'm going to pray with this lift (and several lifters' comments) and ask myself and fellow members, "Am I (are we) willing to be made whole?" If so, then the Christ-messages will lead us to the right expression of that wholeness, whatever form that may take.
Thanks and love to all.

Beautiful, thought arresting lift. Yes, me too...do I really want to do what it takes to experience wholeness/health? Do I really want to change base from the material to the spiritual basis of being? Or do I want to stay here in the "material mess" of things and wonder why I'm not experiencing healing? Your voice is lovely, Lindsay, and your lift spoken with firm love. And yes, the closing angel child lightened the whole morning for me! Much gratitude to you, Nate, Lindsay, and the WHOLE Lift gang for this priceless daily gift/lift.

Thank you very much Lindsey!
A good lesson -
to listen to Christ's question -- and not keep going over and over the destructive "talk" that would say how many reasons there are for not being WHOLE.
A change of thought needed! Grateful for the reminder!

A lovely lift, thank you Lindsey

At the end of my morning prayers, I waited for some answers and was prompted to listen to the daily lift. Well that was my angel message!!
Thanks Lindsey!!!!!
Love to all
To Tobias~~ your grandson is not only beAUtiful but pure gold ( AU).

I have thought of that healing so often, wondering why Jesus questioned the man's desire to be healed. Perhaps the man had become comfortable with being sick or liked the attention he received from his ailment. Maybe he didn't have to do what he didn't want to do, using his illness as his excuse to evade that responsibility. I have learned much from this example when I am seeking healing, asking this question of myself. Your emphasize on the importance of being "whole" tips the scale and brings another facet to this healing. Thanks for pointing it out.

What a beautifully concise and inspired daily lift. Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing from you more often. Meanwhile this one stays on the computer as a refresher!

Here it is late afternoon and I am just now opening this link to your inspiring "waking" lift Lindsey!

Thanks to #53 and #66 and #77 comments, which help explain the reasons why anyone would want to procrastinate in their thought and not want to experience completeness and wholeness immediately.

In comparison, I have to laugh at myself when I saw the emailed link to your lift first thing this morning and procrastinated in opening it. I guess the thought-provoking question of "What does it mean to be whole"? must have been like Jesus asking me right then "Wilt thou be made whole NOW?" I must have been thinking "not now - I'd rather not be bothered with changing my thought just yet". Wow! Was I missing out! I could've realized my completeness and wholeness alot sooner had I chosen to open my eyes right when I was first directed to do so.

Thank you so much for the prayerful work that continues behind the scenes to bring these daily messages which lift our entire world's consciousness. Many thanks, too, for the comments from listeners here, making us all feel as though we're all attending a Wednesday evening Testimony Meeting where Love and healing fills the "whole" space.

Health, a condition of God - an uplifting and healing message!

Thank you for this lift. It reminds me of a time when I was suffering with much mental turmoil. It was nothing that I did or happened to me, just a circumstance that brought on disturbing and confusing thoughts that seemed to control me. I prayed for a week or two and then, with no improvement, I just reached out to God for help. The message that came immediately is "What do you want?" At first I thought, "isn't it obvious?" Then I thought of the times Jesus asked similar questions before he healed someone. It then occured to me that although I wanted healing, some of the thoughts I had been having held a kind of facination to me. Was I ready to give that up? Yes. I responded, "I want peace!" Immediately I did have peace. The thoughts no longer controlled me and I could think of the situation when I wanted to and without the thoughts disturbing me. A few days later I suddenly had an insight into the human situation that cleared up much confusion and also enabled me to feel compassion. Now I understand why Jesus asked that question. Thanks again for the lift.

What more can be said for that reminder, except THANK YOU!

A strong reminder, and well timed too - just what I needed to help keep me on track today. Wonderfully simple yet deep and meaningful. These Daily Lifts help all mankind, and me! Thank you.

Thank you! What a great thought for mid-week!

Magnífico y sanador Lift !!! Muy agradecida Lindsey por este mensaje tan ayudador , aplicable a toda situación donde se requiera restaurar la armonía. Identificarnos como indica mrs. Eddy al hombre: ' ...la
representación completa de la Mente ' (cys p 591:6 ) es clave para lograr cualquier demostración , pienso.
La plenitud, la perfección es la base que nos asegura a priori buenos resultados .

Agradezco mucho los inspirados comentarios anteriores . Aprendemos y nos fortalecemos con c/u.
Un abrazo grande y mucho Amor para todos, Ma. Cristy

Thank you Lindsey...I gained some much needed insight from your remarkable lift,I often listen to a lift twice.I am now at 4 and counting....also thx commentors...

I enjoyed your lovely and complete message, thank you so much Lindsey.

I'll take a dozen of those please!!! I could listen to that all day. Thank You!!! That was so specific and focused, just the ticket. I enjoyed listening to you listening to God. What a blessing that was. Sincerely.

We love you #71!!

Finally got around to yesterday's lift from 10/17. Thank you, Lindsey! Your message was so clear...and so elegantly delivered.

Big hugs to you...and to the little child who gives the P.S.!

Thanks Judy, #81. That helped me> Grateful for your sharing that.

What a wonderful lify. Thank you

This is what I got from today's "Lift". If mortal health appears to be broken - remember
that you and your body are as whole and perfect as God is.

Thank you very much for this lift. I listened to it many times. Just hearing it again and again is helpful to getting the concept to sink in. I am whole, I am complete. And I apply this to others as well as myself. THanks again.

I heard something new for me..."wilt thou be MADE whole?" As in, are you willing to admit that you've already been made whole, from the beginning, since Genesis 1? That you NEVER had this problem? That you were WRONG about it? For 38 years?

That means giving up more than just one's special place at Bethesda. It requires rethinking the whole mortal dream of life in matter: birth, mortal family, whether happy or sad.

I want to want to be willing. That's all I can honestly admit today. But I hope the Christ will keep asking me. It's a great day when we roll up our bed and stroll on home.

Thank you for a wonderful and uplifting message, explained with great clarity and spiritual perception.

Hi Lindsey,

I just love how clear you were on " the Principle of Wholeness". That is a gift. Thank you. Each day we are to embrace the 7 synonyms in prayer. With infinite Principle, I try to affirm the laws of God. God's law of adjustment. God's law of Peace ( Great peace have they which love thy law (P's))

God' s law of progress...spiritual progress is what we can fulfill. God's law of expectation ....let there be Light and there was Light.
God's law of adhesion, cohesion, and attraction.
God's law of Love...Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need...Love is reflected in Love
God's law of Truth...Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free....Christian Science is the Truth and the Truth heals.

Now, I add God's law of Wholeness. Principle of wholeness...rejoice for thou art whole....thanks for the Wholeness gift. My prayers thank you.

The Best reminder of how as Jesus sheep~~~We can remain a flock and"whole"
It is good to follow, as well as lead.
