Sometimes the pressures of life seem overwhelming, whether because of an unhappy relationship, sickness, poverty, no job, or because of too much work. It is tempting to feel that an easing may come by just moving somewhere else or by making small concessions to the materialistic demands of the hour.
But such actions in themselves bring no permanent respite and no genuine solution. Why? Because they ignore the basic fact—God's allness.
A difficult situation may comprise layers of fears, waverings, doubts, and incredulity. However, notwithstanding all this, underneath every false belief lies the unchangeable fact that God, Love, is All and that Love is in total, harmonious control. Nothing whatsoever can nullify, frustrate, or inhibit this glorious fact. From this it follows that we, as the expression of divine Love, reflect and enjoy Love's control and authority. In fact, we are really in command of the situation; we exercise Love's dominion; and there is never any reason why we should be pushed around or bullied.
