Thank you so much for your reminder of the divine energy -
our mental " gas-station" is accessible for us 24/7, ready to give us fuel for thoughts!

I am so grateful for this Lift. I am so grateful for them all!

What a wonderful way to start the day! Thank you!

Thank you. This is really a lift. I have resigned from a career of 10 years and am looking forward to the future. I thought I was "stuck" in an abusive atmoshpere. Now that I am available, I have had so many opportunites for challenge and advancement. I am so grateful for Christian Science.
Yea!

I loved the Daily Lift for today. With the seeming pressures of a world
moving ever more quickly and with more and more to fit into each day, I loved the thought of the "divine Energy of Spirit" giving us strength to perform whatever has to be done with joy. I loved the tail piece from the
bright and cheerful voice of that little person . Thank you so much for the encouraging lift, it was much appreciated by both myself and my brother

Thank you so much for this energetic wake-up call! Lets feel the divine energy of Spirit! Wow!

Thank you very much

Marie, thank you! A beautiful reminder that we all have this unlimited source of energy, ready to be accessed at every moment.

Thank you for that reminder to look only to Spirit for all that we need.

I'm glad that Divine energy is all! Thank you, Marie.

What a lovely, lovely thought for today. Thank you Marie. I went to listen to your French Lift also, and your warm voice.
Pam you read it with such a feeling of warmth and Love expressed.
Thank you Nate for your joy it always brings the sunshine of Love in our day.
Thank you for the copyright girl.
Thank you for the lovely ending by the new kid on the block- just adorable. Must be the youngest member of the Board of Lectureship team. What is his name????
You are all awesome, and together you make our day rock- Thank you all. Really WONDERFUL.

Merci bien Marie! Ann K

Merci beaucoup Marie !
That is like a sunshine in the morning !
Quelle belle idée de reconnaitre que cette énergie divine " nous vit " à chaque instant !
Merci infiniment pour ce message d'amour universel !

That was powerful!

What a lovely child's voice! What a wonderful sound to listen to! What a lift!, Thank you, Marie, this lift arrived at the time when I desperately needed to hear that. My mom is staying with us for the month and for first time in my life I am appreciating quality time together. (Though just thinking of how much I’ll have to do when she goes back home exhausts me.) As I am translating this lift for my Spanish speaking friends, I can feel the strength inherent in these words. As you read Mrs. Eddy’s requests “Let us feel the divine energy of Spirit”, I’m taking every word in like oxygen, “In this very moment the only strength within me and around me is spiritual, is good, is God, the Supreme Good” all this tiredness melts away, then I feel that tomorrow I can start all over again anew. This is a lift to keep, to write it in my memory , in my heart, and recall it over and over, “divine energy is strength, power, vigor, and also life, joy, love, harmony and holiness”, (I’m sure I can find more qualities.) “This energy of Love, of infinite good, expresses itself in a permanent and persistent way, it encircles us, it holds us, it propels the entire spiritual universe and each spiritual idea of His creation, it lives within each of us. This divine strength in action motivates us and makes all thoughts of weariness or incapacity, fade away.” And my strength is renewed, “ It is wonderful, from early morning and through every moment of the day, to feel the divine energy of Spirit, and this is the only energy there is”. Energy from morning till night, reflected by His image and likeness: us, God’s children.
¡Qué hermosa vos de ni?a! ¡Qué hermoso sonido! ¡Qué elevación! Gracias, Marie, esta elevación llegó cuando más desesperadamente necesitaba escucharlo. Mi mamá se está quedando con nosotros este mes y por primera vez en mi vida estoy apreciando estos momentos de calidad con ella. (Aunque el solo pensar en lo mucho que tengo que hacer cuando ella se vuelva a ir a su casa me deja exausta.) A medida que estoy traduciendo esta elevación para mis amigos de habla hispana, puedo sentir la fuerza inherente en estas palabras. Mientras lees el pedido de la Sra. Eddy “Sintamos la divina energía del Espíritu”, estoy tomando cada palabra como oxígeno, “En este mismo momento la única fuerza dentro mío y a mi alrededor es espiritual, es buena, es Dios, el Bien Supremo”, todo este cansancio se derrite, entonces siento que ma?ana puedo empezar de nuevo. Esta es una elevación para guardar en mi memoria, en mi corazón y recordarlo muchas veces, “la energía divina es fortaleza, poder, vigor, y también vida, gozo, amor, armonía y santidad”, (estoy segura que puedo hallar más cualidades.) “Esta energía del Amor, del bien infinito, se expresa a sí misma en una manera permanente y persistente, nos rodea, nos sostiene, propela al universo espiritual y a cada idea espiritual de su creaación, vive dentro nuestro. Esta fuerza divina en acción nos motiva y hace desaparecer todo pensamiento de preocupación e incapacidad”. Y se renueva mi fuerza. Es maravilloso sentir la divina energía del Espíritu desde temprano en la ma?ana y durante cada momento del día, y ésta es la única energía que hay”. Energía de la ma?ana a la noche, reflejada por Su imagen y semejanza, nosotros, los hijos de Dios.

Great to be reminded of my favorite selection....I am re-energized....Thanks Marie

What an inspiring power surge of energy the Lifts and comments give every morning. This morning I awoke feeling distressed over decisions to be made. Like #4, I am in the 10th year of a great career in wildlife research, needing to know if this coming season will be an increased commitment, or a transition to "letting go' and moving on. Thank you Laura for the healing your comment brought to me this morning.

I have for many years followed issues of energy consumption, alternative energy, and now "peak oil" and the transitions needed to adapt to the circumstances. Often there is a fearful sense of limited supply and potential lack, also though of creative thought and invention and inspiration. Pondering the divine energy of Spirit, it is so obvious that the energy resource within our Lift community knows no limits, it is powered by the infinite, unlimited Source. I love the mental picture of the wave of energy expressed by our world-wide group as we arise in the morning, check in with the Lift, and share inspiration. It is a tsunami of irresistible blessing and healing flowing around the globe, lifting everyone in its path. This directly affects the human need for energy resources. Unlimited good expressed. Energy unconfined. Unstoppable healing. What a treat to be part of this community.

Love to all
Lynn

Thank you, to our lecturers and the entire staff who make this community possible. I hope all of you are feeling every moment the explosion of joy and empowerment you are giving to the world.

Thank you Marie, and beautifully read by the translator, It should be published!! The "divine energy of Spirit". is the energy of love [LOVE]., "and that is the only energy there is!"

Thank you, Marie. This "divine energy of Spirit" has calmed me many times when I seemed to have too many tasks and not enough time. Knowing Spirit was the "energizer" they always got done efficiently.

Thank you Marie, your words lifted my thought so high that I really could say that today I´m fully prepared for whatever comes to meet me for my energy comes from the only possible source, the Spirit.
The citation from C&H that awoke and made you pond upon has awoken me very often and in different circunstances. It´s one of my favourite!
Thank you Pam, for your reading was perfect, clear and loving as if it was coming from an impersonal being, what is really true for the Spirit communicates with us in many ways, like these wonderful lifts and the voices that give life to them.

merci beaucoup Marie pour la lecture de ce matin.
Chaque fois je m'etonne que la lecture est exactment ce dont j'a i besoin ce jour ou moment meme. Il y a longtemps que j'ai visite la belle ville de Pau. Quelle joie d'y habiter!

Let us feel the divine energy of Spirit within us, starting right now early this morning and let it 'fuel' our though throughout the day! Thank you very much!!

Thank for the new energy for today, and everyday!
Love the dear sweet voice at the end reminding me of my own childlikeness.

The energy of Spirit, the only energy there is. No energy for anything else or from anywhere else but within! No weariness from doing good! Thanks so much, Marie. Clearly correct, and so lovely! Love to everyone!

Just what I needed this morning! Thank you!

Thank you Marie for this divine insight! The "energy of Spirit" is infinite, then completely renewable. It is inexhaustible and unending. It is everywhere, radiating and it's applicable to all human circunstances. It is a divine law! I like that comparison of the divine law with the law of gravity, because it operate openly for everyone without exception.
Have a beautiful day, filled with the energy of the Spirit!

In Portuguese:

Obrigado Marie por este insight divino! A "energia do Espírito" é infinita, então totalmente renovável. Ela é inesgotável e interminável. Ele está em toda parte, irradiando e é aplicável a todas as circunstâncias humanas. É uma lei divina! Eu gosto daquela comparação da lei divina, com a lei da gravidade, porque ela funciona abertamente para todos, sem exceção.
Tenha um lindo dia, repleto da energia do Espírito!

Mercy buttercup Nathan and Marie.

Merci, Marie!! A true Up.Lift for today, and every day!! TY all who add comments..really appreciated!!

Just what I needed today - love these gems of love - thank you!

What a beautiful, practical application of this week's lesson on Spirit! Merci mille fois, Marie et tout!

What a perfect message! Thank you Marie, and Pam for a beautiful, clear reading that I've enjoyed listening to several times. And thanks for the freshness of including a child. I love being surprised!

My real estate business has been very busy! This was a "great Lift" for me today. :-)

Merci Marie! I really needed that! -PERFECT!

Thanks so much, Marie! Just the thought i needed from the weariness of yesterday and the many tasks that lie ahead today - the divine energy of Spirit. A little poem I've been using and would like to share:

The present hour allots thy task
For present strength and patience ask
And trust His Love whose sure supply
Meets all thy need abundantly


This divine energy of Spirit never slows down, weakens or expires. It is constant, steadfast, reliable - ever present and ever available to us all. What wonderful inspiration to start the day and keep in our thoughts throughout the day.

Moderator's comment:
Poem is the third verse of Hymn 6 by William H. Burleigh in the Christian Science Hymnal

Thank you, I apreciate the sharing of helpful lifts so much!! I enjoy hearing the young voice at the end this week too. It all brings a smile to my face and puts joy in my heart. I love the dedication of our lecturer and practioners to help us see in useful ways daily the good thats there for us. These daily lifts are doing there job reminding us and encourageing us on our way through life. Thank you over and over again!!

Jolly decent! Thank you, Marie. WOW! What a surprise! "The divine energy of the Spirit." This is our golden link for today!

"I will pour my Spirit in the midst of you." Ezekiel 36:27

I am starting to treasure these daily Love-notes - thank you!

what a wonderful lift! My husband had been out of town for a few days on business. I was dealing with a teenager, and going round and round about laziness, and the bad attitude she was exhibiting. I felt drained spiritually and physically. I feel so energized in both areas now as I really took to heart the divine energy of Spirit. Its not me at all who is "doing the doing" its always God. I have a renewed sense of peace, and an energized attitude, thank you God.

Thank you, Marie. A great reminder and "jolter" to lift thought into the infinite and unlimited capacities of diviine Love available to each of us.

What a contrast to claim a spiritual energy encompassing us verses the energies such as anxiety or depression. The 2:00 pm chat given Tuesday on Spirituality.com (Subject of Depression) was a talk working with individuals to combat an energy that is so unlike a pure, peaceful, knowing of God's presence energy. On this lift we hear of the energy we can claim by divine right. This is one healing message that can be worked with to dissolve the false illusion of any other energy be it anger, drive, sadness to depression, stress to anxiety, dislike to hate. All the degrees of false energy are removed/diminished as we go from claiming to understanding the true spiritual energy talked about in this lift, Spirit/God. This message is promising us that God is continually loving us in a way that is relevant. What a help. Thank you.

Correction. The verse I quoted as a poem is actually the 3rd verse in Hymn No. 6 in the Christian Science Hymnal. Sorry for the confusion.

The Divine Energy of Spirit.... is the only energy that propels the Universe.
I am subject to the Divine powers that be! Thank you I feel the peace.

Thank you Marie:
You have helped us all to axpand our understanding of spiritual energy. It reminds me to think spiritually, and not dwell on the concepts of physical energy or power. Example: how much energy is consumed in expressing holiness? Or in expressing joy? Or in a smile? The answer: none! Why? becasue the source is with God and it is unlimited. God's energy (goodness) is then manifiested by the individualized ideas of his creation. These ideas (Marie and me - and all of God's children) reflect this energy. We do not consume energy, or use it all up. We do not "run out of gas." My simple, but hopefully helpful, analogy is that as an individual idea of God's spiritual creation, I am like a light bulb. The energy is not in the bulb. And the light does not go on unless the lamp is plugged into the power source and the switch turned on. Then the light is bright, but not of its own energy. You have made this very clear - - "Feel the divine enrgy of Spirit (source) every moment of the day (the manifesation). This is the only energy that exists - - and it propels the entire spiritual universe." Conclusion: this divine source of energy propels me as an individualized spiritual idea, and this source is inexhaustible and completely renewable. Therefore, thank you again. Today, I will conciously pray to be plugged in to my source of energy - - and that will light my day. Others will see it as joyful living , harmony, and meaningful acitivity. This spiritual energy is the ony energy that exists, and God shares it freely, abundantly, and confirms divine law in operation.

Marie~
This favorite passage from our Leader reminds me that true feeling is
not steeped in nerve endings nor dependent on material surroundings--
but wholly spiritual, energetic and enduring. True feeling is free from limiting
false claims because sourced in Spirit. ... Thanks to everyone involved in
the Daily Lift, including listeners and commenters!

Thank you Marie and everyone for the wonderful thoughts about energy. I recently came across some passages in Science and Health that spoke to this topic in lovely thought pictures. On page 514 it says,"Mind, joyous in strength, dwells in the realm of Mind. Mind's infinite ideas run and disport themselves. In humility they climb the heights of holiness." What uplifting ideas for us to pray with. And how about this statement on the next page of S&H. "Patience is symbolized by the tireless worm, creeping over lofty summits, persevering in its intent." (p. 515) That inspires me, too, to acknowledge "tireless" being as a present reality because all creation reflects the Mind that is "joyous in strength".

Thank you #15 Elena, #17 Lynn and #40 Jill for your inspiring comments that expand on this uplifting lift.

I love the thought that we are encircled and upheld and live within the Divine powers that be. It's great to be reminded that we are living this Divine energy moment to moment and to continue knowing that this is the only energy there is!!!
That was beautiful, Marie. Thank you and have a joy-filled day!!!

Thank you, our engery does indeed come from Divine Love, SpiritGod.

Thanks Marie, this morning before I open my computer I had this beautiful statement from our Leader. There is not doubt, there is only one Mind.

I will wowrk with that during the day!!

I loved the lift today and # 43 analogy of energy being inexhaustable and renewable, joyful, harmonious and active. This was a treatment for me and very inspiring. You only need to see a child in action to really appreciate this joyous action and I get to see it nearly every day at school. I enjoy the dear sweet child on our LIFT. Thanks so much.

This is great. Thanks.

What a great "lift" .. . and #43, the light bulb analogy is great! And #17 - the image of the wave of energy moving around the world. I live in France part of the year and I love feeling the energy of Spirit moving around the planet!

Here on the east coast of the USA, days have been spent by the weather gurus about a blizzard size storm to reach us today. Snow shovels, ice melters, foodstuffs have pretty much been cleared from the store shelves as folks attempt to "get ready."
My comfort comes from knowing, as so beautifully reminded in our Lift today, that God/Spirit is the only energy, and is ours individually and collectively. Our needs are already met and there are blessings to go all around!
I am very grateful for this timely Daily Lift.

Very Grateful for this Lift. Thank-you Marie and Pam. Love that the divine energy of Spirit is the only energy there is!

To become childlike is the demand of Christ Jesus. I look out my window and see six little girls running and laughing and playing, delighted at their day. They hold no worries about tomorrows. They are not afraid they will grow tired from running. Their joy and happiness abounds. Become childlike Christ Jesus demands, not a bad idea!

Thank you, merci Marie. This message of the divine energy of Spirit is for each of us, and for all the world.

FEEL the divine energy of Spirit. It is not intellectual thinking, but FEELING (experiencing) the power, strength and Love the Christ, Truth. Thank you Marie.

I am still smiling after hearing the message for the second time. What a great group have sent us the "gold" for today! I too loved the little voice at the end which said the "copyright" for these messages is safe! Of course all good is safe and continuous in God's care!
Thanks to my dear friend, Elena who lovingly copied the message in Spanish! We here in SD are near to our Hispanic friends and care deeply for them. We see the workers who are so tireless in the fields harvesting the good. What a lovely insight into the oneness of divine energy to bless all. Nothing is wasted, nothing is pointless or redundant. The divine energy of Spirit brings all of us " into newness of life" as MBE goes on to say in the quote for today. Blessings to all for a great weekend.

Thanks for the reminder that it is not us doing the doing, but Spirit, God flowing through us. These daily lifts are so helpful in keeping us alert to what is true.

Merci beaucoup Marie!

I'm really enjoying the additional facets of Spirit this week.

Thank you so much Marie! I really needed this today. In truth, it is impossible for Spirit, God, to be weary, and as His reflection, we cannot be either. As MBE has said, p.218, s/h: "...that which affirms weariness made that weariness." The affirmer (animal magnetism) is a liar---and since it is not true, it is unreal and cannot affect us. It has no authority or power, since God is the only authority and the only power there is. And as one obeys the First Commandment, no power can be given to another, so called power.

The child on this "lift" is just wonderful! What a great addition in expressing the innocence of Truth!

I just love experiencing all the "group work" that these lifts represent! From the simple and loving intro and conclusions, to the lecturer and translations, to the sharing from all the inspired listeners---and to all the workers and techies behind the scenes!

It's a wonderful sense of connectedness with Good--Thanks everyone!

Thank you so much Marie. I love the message to "feel the divine energy of Spirit," and the rest of that statement ( Science and
Health,pg.249), "bringing us into newness of life...." The marginal heading is "renewed selfhood." How refreshing and just what I needed this morning. Thanks to all for your inspiring comments.

And this energy doesn't belong to us personally. but flows through us. We are it's light bulb. Our job is to stay turned on. much love

Thanks to all the voices for a lovely and fresh presentation. Now I have been thinking how to apply these ideas to Haiti. Also to the predicted storm for part of the US south and east. It seems to me that God's energy must be always good and produce only good.

I snuggled in last night with this healing message, this morning woke up several hours earlier than I usually do with renewed strength, fresh inspiration,
a joyous heart. (and I listened again...) Thank you!

Thanks Marie, What a beautiful, uplifting thought

Love the energy of love

Thanks for the refreshing and uplifting lift and comments.
It reminds me of a Bible verse from Joshua 14:11. He proved that strength doesn't diminish because it a spiritual idea. "As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now.."
The Spanish translation is Josué 14:11 (Reina-Valera 1960)
"Todavía estoy tan fuerte como el día que Moisés me envió; cual era mi fuerza entonces, tal es ahora mi fuerza..."

So grateful for all these blessed angel messages. Thank you!

This "Lift community" (from Lynn, #17) - that's a very helpful realization because it really is one, and an active and effective one. It is surely the case that this community, in it's oneness of thought around each day's idea, is having healing effects that extend beyond what you are hearing from each other. I would also suppose that the community is probably bigger than the list of those who respond.

I know I can't be the first to say this, but the whole Lift concept is a brilliant inspiration from The Mother Church. I'm new this (put onto it by your own Tracy C-K) and have only heard and read a few day's worth of lifts, and each one has been very helpful and timely, as I can see everyone finds. Just today, in a situation in our home, I have found real healing help from today's concept and Marie's words that the divine energy of Spirit "expresses itself in a permanent and persistent way" for us.

Thank you to everyone for the Love involved in this powerful community..

Thanks to everyone who has participated in this "lift community" today. Although I usually cannot access the message until later in the day, it can be just as satisfying at that time as at any other. After a particularly active and productive day, my so-called human energy level was taking a bit of a nose dive, but hearing the lift and reading the loving and inspiring comments caused me to think more deeply and spiritually and has brought a measure of healing into my consciousness for which I am very grateful.
Much love to all.

Thanks very much. I will use those ideas while happi8ly shoveling the two feet of snow we have.

I really appreciate the lifts. It is always late when I get to access the computer so I get to read many comments. It is really a feeling of spiritual communion to hear from people all over the world. I had been having difficulty seeing the spiritual, the real world around me. The lifts and the comments are helping me to relate the lesson to events and people around me.
Thank you so much!

Thanks Marie, needed your thoughts, the Truth.

Merci boucoup, Marie, and to all who've added remarks to these lifts. After listening before bed, I couldn't understand why I seemed to awaken with little energy. Even the lesson study didn't snap me out of it. Every task took effort, but I did get them done. I listened to the lift again. After almost all day, I knew everyone of the “lift friends” had been working with this. I had to be able to use it, too, not only for me, but for those sharing ideas and their gratitude for what is a very good “lift”. Even if no one ever knew it, I couldn't let down the purpose of the lifts. Thanks, to everyone. #43, was a big help. I had no energy to be drained away, and it would take nothing from me to light up and let the energy flow. #17, pushed me to be part of the world-wide wave, too. Mind wouldn't inspire others and catch them in this wave, but leave me out. I made it! This is one example why the lifts and the comments are beneficial. They didn't take away from my regular study and prayerful thoughts all day, but they added to them, and gave me the spark that lit my outlook. Marie used the words “persistent” and “motivation” and that's what took place. Even when I didn't feel energy, Spirit was working in me to have me do so. It's a joy to have this lift/gift. Words can't describe what took place with me all day, but I'm humbly and gratefully using the energy it brought, right now! It's a late hour, but I'm in the midst of a very long and difficult task that I've needed to do for many weeks, delayed partly because of time, and because I didn't have the right utensils I needed anymore. Tonight, I'm getting ideas to substitute for that, too. Merci!

Thanks so much Marie for that very helpful, strengthening and uplifting Lift! It is a real keeper.

Thank you so much for this thought! This is exactly what i need this morning.

Merci pour ces idées qui boostent dès le matin ! et surtout merci pour un daily lift en français, c'est vraiment agréable de pouvoir entendre des idées aussi intéressantes dans sa propre langue ! Amitiés à tous.

Marie, I was lead to go back and listen to your message although it has been several days since you shared it. Your ideas are exactly what I need today. Thank you!
