Reading & Meditation (Love) by Rev. Christine 8/2/2026

My reading for today is from the Divine Science Daily Studies and today’s is written by Jack H. Holland, a Divine Science minister and founder of The Institute for Human Growth and Awareness, San Jose CA.

The law of physics that made photography possible states: For light to be effective, it must be absorbed. This law has its counterpart in the laws governing the mind. For ideas, concepts, “things” to affect us, they must be absorbed. If we are resisting something, it means we are accepting it as a reality and are giving it validity—it is being absorbed. As a result, just as in photography, we are producing a “faulty negative” because the light (understanding) has not been pure or intense enough. The light in this case is Truth. Our life is an out picturing of what has been accepted as Truth by our consciousness; and the “picture” (life) can be changed by refusing to resist evil, or limitation, and looking for a new possibility.

As Emmet Fox stated, “If you do not like the picture you are getting…change the reel.”

Why give power to that which is bothering you? Why dwell on limitation—which you do when you resist anything—when you can dwell on creative ideas and possibilities?

The greatest possible way to practice nonresistance is to know that God is always present, despite whatever may seem to be. This, of course, is what is meant by LOVE. We find that all paths of freedom, understanding and expression lead to the great commandment: Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your might.

Meditation

We shall now move into a meditation on Love. Relax, get comfortable. As we close our eyes let us turn inward to our holy temple. Now bring our attention to our breath, breathing the love of God that sustains all life.

As I speak to take these words in for yourself.

Infinite Spirit, God, is Love, unconditional love. This love is everywhere present, and is the power that supports all creation. I am one with God, thereby one with God’s love. God’s Love is what sustains my life. The very essence of by being is love. God’s Love is expressing in, through and as my life.

I am thriving in God’s love. (Repeat)

God’s infinite love springs forth, unfolding consciousness as our universe and all life.

I am a witness to God’s love in expression.

I see the face of God in every life form, a child, animal, plant, and mother earth.

I see God in every drop of water, air I breathe, and ground I walk upon.

I am a living expression of God’s love. Silence...

Thank you God for these moments in silent communion of at-one-ment. Now let us bring our attention back to our breath, to our body, and be fully present.
