God's Guidance

[Of Special Interest to Young People]

WILLIAM B. RITTERBUSCH

We have all at some time or other, when riding or walking, come to a crossroad in our journey and have had to choose which way to go. The young person may, for example, find himself at a crossroad at which he must decide whether he will further his education or go to work. If to college or some other institution of higher learning, which one will he choose and how can he finance his expenses? If to work, what work is he best suited for?

In such circumstances a turning to God, divine Mind, for guidance will save one from taking the wrong step, wasting his efforts, delaying his progress, and returning to the crossroad for a change of direction. Loving parents and friends may help the individual with his decisions. But God alone can really guide him perfectly.

Concerning the unity of God and man, Mrs. Eddy says in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 77): "This is the Father's great Love that He hath bestowed upon us, and it holds man in endless Life and one eternal round of harmonious being. It guides him by Truth that knows no error, and with supersensual, impartial, and unquenchable Love."
