Behind every problem or difficulty lies the Truth of Being. This means that in spite of the appearance, you must believe that divine Mind is already healing the situation. Jesus said that when you pray, believe that you have received. Often we are so close to a problem that, spiritually speaking, we accept the cloudy day as a permanent state of climate, forgetting that the sunshine of divine Love and Power has never ceased to shine, although obscured for the moment.
In prayer we remind ourselves again that, no matter how bleak or overcast the picture may be, we believe that in divine Mind there is nothing but good and therefore only good can express itself in these circumstances. The important thing is to raise your consciousness above the level where the difficulty seems to be, and put God there instead.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father (Matthew 13:43).
We know that the sun still shines even when it is raining on us. We can be just as sure that God’s love shines on our lives even when we are in the midst of the storm. Even when our hearts are broken, birds still sing, children still laugh and our family and friends still love us.
In our darkest night, we know that the light will come again in the morning. Similarly, when we remind ourselves and believe that God is working in the midst of our trouble, then we are comforted with the sure knowledge that God’s love is shining on us. We can also be sure that our best good is being accomplished by God through our problems. When we lean on our faith and believe that God is in the midst of that which troubles us, we can feel the sun shining on our hearts, hear the birds sing and the children laugh while wrapped in the love of our family and friends.
When we put God in the midst of our troubles, we can live in our gardens secure in our faith. And, even in the most challenging circumstances, our gardens will be filled with the joy of singing, laughing and loving.
Singing, laughing and loving,
Z gardener
