A Seed of Hope
by Alicia Kay Hanlen
Practitioner Emeritus – Mile Hi Church
If we believe, as I do, that we are immersed in Infinite Consciousness, surrounded by it, nurtured and loved by this Presence that knows only the good for us, then we can also believe in all possibilities. So first and foremost, let us entertain and focus on the invisible pattern of Life, expressing as divine goodness. Turn our thoughts to that Presence and that Power, and know that only good goes forth from us in this now moment. In the midst of challenges, see the glimmer of hope that everything is OK. When you are feeling discouraged by both personal and global disturbances, approach the situations with the calm and conscious decision that you will not loose sight of the fact that God is all there is, and that each of us is one with that power and presence. Have the courage of your convictions to not give in to the feelings of separation, and instead hold firmly to the idea of Divine Unity. And if and when you feel the urge to resist current circumstances, and stand tall in your speaking of the truth, know that the energy and the will of the universe stands with you. See yourself planting seeds of hope amongst the weeds of unrest and destruction. Watch those seeds blossom into positive change, lasting peace, and the intrinsic freedom we possess as children of God. Grateful to be alive, grateful to be part of the positive change, I remain steadfast in my knowing that, indeed, all is well. And so it is.
