DEEPER INTO LENT

Throughout Lent, we have been encouraged in out Lent booklet, to release practises, feelings and beliefs we recognise limit, restrict or close us down. Followed by the invitation to imagine and claim qualities which expand, uplift, support and bless us. It is a very powerful, healing process, and the daily readings have been written with compassion and understanding, encouraging us to be the same.
 
What this has helped me recognise once more, is that I seem to have numerous opportunities to let go, become recentred in Divine energy and bless, bless, bless! What a powerful way to experience Lent and the rest of our lives. For as spiritual beings and human beings, one with and within the beautiful creative energy that is God, the ability is ours to recentre ourselves in Divine Love and Wisdom; to bless ourselves, our environment and everyone around us.
 
This is our work in Unity. To know that even when it feels like everything is going wrong, in fact, God as creative energy and movement, love and wisdom, is right here and now, enabling not just repair but an improvement of our situation and experience.
 
For Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, probably aware of all that was about to unfold, he may have thought that everything had gone wrong and his life was in vain. Yet, on the cross, he found the way to not just bless, but to forgive. Through his expression of understanding and forgiveness, his disciples experienced the resurrection. Through the hardest experience, transformation happened in him and in time, those around him.
 
We do not find ourselves on a physical cross, but we do sometimes find ourselves experiencing real challenges that are extremely painful and hard to navigate. Yet, we, too, can find our way to forgive, to bless, to centre ourselves in Divine Love and Wisdom, and know that something better is coming forth.
 
If you are finding yourself in really hard situations, take a moment to breathe and recentre in God as Divine Love and Wisdom. Relax, let go and know that God as good is here. Bless everything and everyone around you. And know that the right and perfect solution is manifesting right now.
 
To help enable this transformative experience, join us for our Easter services, which move us through service and forgiveness into transformation. God as beautiful, radiant, creative energy is here in the very midst of us, and we are beautifully, wonderfully blessed.
