The last century witnessed the rediscovery of the inner life. The new age bids us to go to the sources for ourselves. As we take the message of God into our hearts, we will be blessed. May we ever watch over one another, assisting in times of need. Let us not be critical and judgmental but let us be tolerant, ever emulating the Savior’s example of loving-kindness. We are living in a spiritual Universe now, and that freedom is of our choice, backed by the law of mind, which reports that we must be careful of what we think about because the subconscious mind responds to cognitive images. It does not matter if the image is self-induced or from the external World. Humans are made up of truth and belief; and if one is deceived into a belief that one has, or is liable to have an ailment, the belief is catching, and the effect follows it.  “Wherefore, whoso believes in God surely hopes for a better World, even a place a the right hand of God, which hope comes of faith, making an anchor to the souls of human beings, which will make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God (Ether 12.4).” That is why spiritual mind healing emphasizes control of conditions through the creative power of thought. #RandolphHarris 1 of 5

Love is a rational phenomenon, as the crowning achievement of maturity. When the individual feels, the community reels. The creative spirit within us is God, and we have an immediate relationship to the divine. May we pray for the inspiration to know of the needs of those around us, and then may we go forward and provide assistance that will establish the truth in others. Let us be of good cheer as we go about our lives. Although we live in trying times, the Lord loves us and is mindful of us. God is always on our side as we do what is right. He will help us in our times of need. Difficulties come into our lives, problems we do not anticipate and which we would never choose. None of us is immune. The purpose of mortality is to learn and to grow and to be more like our Father God, and it is often during the difficult times that we learn the most, as painful as the lessons may be. Our lives can also be filled with joy as we follow the teachings of God. The meaning of love and intimacy is a type of situation involving people which permits validation of all components of personal worth. Validation of personal worth requires a type of relationship called collaboration, by which we clearly adjust our behavior to express the needs of the other person in pursuit of increasingly identical and more mutual satisfactions, and in the maintenance of increasingly similar security options. #RandolphHarris 2 of 5

The essence of love is seen in a situation of collaboration, in which spiritual mind healing of the physical body is a result of touching the springs of life in the soul. God is the Father of our spirits. He has a glorified, perfected body of flesh and bone. We lived with God in Heaven before we were born. And when God created us physically, we were created in the image of God, each with a personal body.  Think of our physical sustenance. It is truly Heaven sent. The necessities of air, food, and water all come to us as gifts from a loving Heavenly Father. The Earth was created to support our journey of mortality. We are born with a capacity to grow, love, marry, and form families. The great spiritual leaders of the ages, having given their lives to mediation, prayer, and communion with God, have left a great spiritual legacy to the World. Taken as a whole, they have come nearer to discovering God than any other group of people. Yet, truth cannot belong to any individual, and there can be no religion higher than the truth. In religious science, there is a deep, mystical yearning of the minds of people, in search of God, and our faith can be demonstrated. #RandolphHarris 3 of 5

We have a cosmic purpose. A whole without religion would be chaos. Religious science has access to the highest enlightenment of the ages. God is the highest enlightenment, and robs no one of truth. The family is the most important social unit in time and eternity. Under God’s great plan of happiness, families can be sealed in temples and be prepared to return to dwell in his holy presence forever. That is eternal life! It fulfills the deepest longings of the human soul—the natural yearning for the endless association with beloved members of one’s family. Truth comes to us as we are able to receive it. Should all the wisdom of the Universe be poured over us, we should yet receive only that which we are ready to understand. Each of us draws from the source of all knowledge only that to which one inwardly listens. The Universal spirit comes to fullest consciousness in the being’s innermost self, we strive to cultivate the inner life, knowing that spiritual certainty is the result of an impact of God upon the soul. We seek the witness of the inner spirit. We are all individually loved by God and part of the central meaning of his work. We are all part of the plan for salvation and exaltation. #RandolphHarris 4 of 5

We are all loved by God and people on this Earth and in Heaven are grateful for you. The very angels of Heaven are thanking you for every good thing you have ever done, for every kind word you have ever said, for every sacrifice you have ever made in extending to someone—to anyone—the beauty and blessings of God. The gospel is the good news for the here and now. Religion means right living, and right thinking. We do not wait on the future, but bestow our rewards in this life—in better health, happier homes, and all that makes for a well-balanced, normal life. Keep faith. Deep cries unto the deep, deep answers deep. God is the great innovator in his World, and progress is by divine authority. Religious faith in our day is breaking from the narrow bounds of past teaching and expanding in both breadth and depth. It is because people believe more in God and the true essentials of spiritual life. The future religion will be free from fear, superstition, doubt, and will ask no one where God may be found. For the secret place of the Most High will be revealed in the inner sanctuary of one’s own heart, and the eternal God will sit enthroned in one’s own mind. We can know no God external to that power of perception by which alone we are conscious of anything. God must be interpreted to God through our own nature. #RandolphHarris 5 of 5
