Soul

While studying the Weekly Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Publishing Society I found this scriptural citation in the Golden Text 


“the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light” 
Isaiah 60:19 the Lord, King James Version of the Bible


As I thought about these powerful words and the definition of the word light I was inspired:






the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting means of knowing;


the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting point of view;


the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting knowledge;


the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting moral instructor;


the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting source of prosperity;


the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting guide;


God will be your eternal light;


God will be your eternal happiness;


God will be your personal enlightenment counselor;


God will be your personal employer;


God is clear, not dark or obscure;


God is easy and easy on me;


God is freedom and openness; 


God is the illumination of Mind;


I am not heavily laden because of God,


God is Life;


God is my light and my only LIfe.

"The Old Has to Go"


The bottom line is, "God is Love" and he loves you and her equally and completely.  "God is Life" and the originator of all true  relations, he is divine Mind.  

Think on this scripture!

               "The Old Has to Go

And so I insist-and God backs me up on this- that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd.  They've refused for so long to deal with God that they've lost touch not only with God but with reality itself.   They can't think straight anymore.  Feeling  no pain, they let themselves go in sexual obsession, addicted to every sort of perversion.  

But that's no life for you.  You learned Christ!  My assumption is that you have paid careful attention to him,  been well instructed in the truth precisely as we have it in Jesus.  Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything--and I do mean everything--connected with the old way of life has to go.  It's rotten through and through.  Get rid of it!  And then take on an entirely new way of life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reporduces his character in you.

What this adds up to, then, is this: no more lies, no more pretense.  Tell your neighbor the truth.  In Christ's body we're all connected to each other, after all.   When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself."  

Ephesians 4  The Message
