Daily Devotional Based on the Spiritual Classic He and I

Oneness. I come back to this thought again and again. Why do you live all alone when you can be in Me at every moment? In Me: that’s Heaven itself without the face-to-face vision and the rapture. Then practice this at-one-ment. Practice adoration and tenderness.- Act just as though you could see Me. It’s such a good practice for your faith. And faith brings hope and love. (July 10, 1943).

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1).

20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20).

20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed;21 nor will they say, ‘Lo, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”[ (Luke 17:20-21).

O Lord it can be so hard to believe. That You really want to be united to us. To be one with us just as You and the Father are one (John 10:30). That we are never alone- that the Kingdom of God is not some far away external thing but it is really within us. And that we can begin living Heaven already right here on Earth! All of this takes faith which is the conviction of things unseen. So let us practice adoration and tenderness in faith that You are always with us increasing our hope and our love!
