All is Well in the Here and Now

Here and Now
Perfection is already accomplished.
I am that Perfect Life here and now.
Today I express the Limitless Life of the All Good.
Today I manifest my Completion in every part of me.
Today I am saved.Here and now I am healed.
~Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind, p. 511.

Good morning, dear day of infinite possibilities! In times when I find myself second-guessing the past or fast-forwarding to future what-ifs; those times when I am chasing serenity, I remember that the serenity I seek is in the here and now…and within me. It is in that split-second space of here and now, where time stands still, that I remember who I am and the infinite choices before me and paths beneath my feet.
In this moment of present tense and sense, I remember that God is All There Is, and all there is, is Good. I remember that the only Truth is God, and God is the only Truth. I remember that as I turn to God, God turns to me. And it is in this moment that I remember this One Magnificent Creative Source is perfect love, peace, harmony, healing, and joy. And it is in this moment that my consciousness shifts to the beautiful familiarity of a state of grace and gratitude, unrestricted by the perceptions of time and space.
It is in this oneness with God and infinite time that I remember I am, by design, one of God’s creations, made of God’s essence and in God’s image. I remember that all God is, I am. I remember that it is unto me as I believe, and that what I choose to believe opens my heart, mind and soul to the perfect love, peace, harmony, healing and joy of the One Creative Source. And I remember that this split-second of here and now is always present for me, and in that here and now I find and feel perfect love, peace, harmony, healing, grace, gratitude, joy and resilience. Resilience to the lure of futile times and places; resilience to succumbing to any appearance or perception of past, present or future discomfort, disharmony or disease. It’s in this beautiful reality of here and now that my consciousness shifts from looking for God’s grace, to knowing that God’s grace is always in me. As I know this is true for me, I know it is true for each of us and all of us.
It is in the oneness and inseparable unity with God that I know all is well despite appearances to the contrary. So in this oneness and knowing, I claim this moment, its melting into the next moment, and the blessed assurance that Love is, Peace is, Harmony is, Healing is, Joy is! I claim the blessed assurance of staying in the moment in the state of grace and gratitude that lends itself to the next minute, and the next, and the next. I know that all is indeed well with my soul, and I claim the bounty and boundlessness of the Universe.
And so in and from this place of grace and gratitude, I give thanks for the minute I am in and the path beneath my feet, and I release this affirmation that all is well into the Universe knowing that I am once again the One Magnificent Presence is always right here, right now.
And so it is!
