Every day makes its demands upon us for higher proofs rather than professions of Christian power. These proofs consist solely in the destruction of sin, sickness, and death by the power of Spirit, as Jesus destroyed them. This is an element of progress, and progress is the law of God, whose law demands of us only what we can certainly fulfill.
How often have I found myself believing that I was stuck in a state of limbo, unable to move forward with my life! And yet, in each of those cases, God opened a door for me to step through. A door that brought sure progress to my life and my spirit. Perhaps more amazingly, the door never led where I was expecting to go. I would endlessly research human options open to me and analyze each one from multiple angles. Occasionally I would follow one of those options for a short time only to discover that, for all my careful planning, the end result was not right for me.
But whenever I've completely released my human sense of logic and planning and turned my life over to divine Mind, perfect Love, I've always found peace and joy and fulfillment. The important thing is to have an unyielding faith that your life is not your own, but is truly a manifestation of God's eternal Life, and to hold deep within your soul the eternal truth that releases you from human fears and doubts. Jesus showed us how to live a life so free and conscious of God's power that he could face anything with the certainty that his Father-Mother, God, would bring him safely through.
So whatever your life is like now, just remember that progress is what God has in store for you. No matter how long suffering has followed your footsteps, uplifting life and love are your destiny. Expect omnipotent Love to reach you, wherever you are, and lift your life to joy and goodness. Peace.
