365 A Year of Daily Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

The Spirit Lives Within Me Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee. —ISAIAH 58:8

"Spiritual mind healing has long since passed the experimental stage. We now know that we cannot tell where the body begins and the mind leaves off, and many of us believe that the actions, organs, and functions of the physical body really are activities of the infinite Intelligence within us. To come to realize, then, that there is One Body, which is the Body of God and which at the same time is our own body, is to accept a greater influx of the One Life.

We should daily affirm: There is One Life, that Life is God, that Life is my life now. Every organ, action, and function of my physical body is in harmony with the Divine life. There is perfect circulation, perfect assimilation, and perfect elimination. If there is anything in me that does not belong, it is removed. If there is anything that my physical being needs that it does not appear to have, it is supplied. My body is daily renewed after that image of perfection of it that is held in the Mind of God. “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which art in heaven is perfect.

I affirm, then, that my body is the Body of God; it is a body of right ideas all working in harmony with each other. The Life of the Spirit does circulate through it; the Law of the Spirit does govern it; the Love of the Spirit does sustain it. Therefore, I sleep in peace and wake in joy and live in the continual acceptance that life is good. My whole experience is of God. My whole life is God in action, for I am One with All-Life and All-Power.”
