Reading & Meditation by Rev. Teresa Stuefloten M.Div. 11/2/2025

Good morning! I have a reading for you this morning from today’s Divine Science Daily Study titled:

THE NATURE OF LIFE

“The Nature of Life” is a theme as large as the universe. …[Let us] consider it from the Divine Science point of view, with emphasis on a growing awareness of the Truth, realizing first of all that there is a Source, a Cause for everything that is, one Original Creator. This One, this Source creates out of Original Substance, and this One (God) is invisible, indescribable, yet obviously present.

God is…Self-existent Reality. Out of formless Spirit-Being comes form; God creates and all creation is [God’s] manifestation.

We may resemble our earthly family, but we do not come from our parents. We come through them. Aware of it or not, we come from God—thus Sonship is our inheritance. We inherit what God is; we inherit perfection, the means of perfecting. “God, our Father” refers not to a creature but to The Originator. Omniscience and Omnipotence lie ever in us, waiting to be recognized and claimed.

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. –Job 33:4

Affirm: Today as a child of God, I live from this knowing.

Meditation

Now I invite you to prepare to go within for a short time of meditation, letting go of worries or concerns for this time, getting comfortable, closing your eyes with your inner gaze raised to the center of the forehead, turning your attention to your breath, gently noticing the in-breath and the out-breath… feeling the coolness of the in-breath and the warmth of the out-breath… allowing the breath to sink down into the belly with each in-breath… expanding the belly with each in-breath and contracting the belly with each out-breath… coming into the present moment through the breath now, completely awake and aware…

I am one with Source…

I am one with the Original Creator…

God, Source of all that is, formed me from Original Divine Substance…

I am God’s manifestation…

I am a Divine Creation, one with the Creator…

I am God’s progeny, a son or daughter of the Divine…

I have inherited what God is…

I am endowed with Divine qualities…

I am perfect…

I am whole…

I am complete…

I am Omniscient, all knowing, at my core…

I am Omnipotent, all powerful, at my core…

I am Divine and I claim my divinity…

I am whole, and I claim my wholeness…

I am perfect, and I claim the perfection at my core…

I am complete in God, my Creator and my Source…

Today as a child of God, I live from this knowing.

We let go into one minute of silence now…

Now, having rested in the silence, I invite you to bring yourself back to awareness of the body, feeling gratitude for the Divine support that is always yours in the present moment. You are a Divine expression, always in the flow of grace. The peace that passes all understanding is in the present moment. Today, as a child of God, live from the knowing that you are perfect, whole and complete in God, living, moving and having your being in God. And so it is!
