The healing presence of God

One day years ago, I was reading a very uplifting, spiritually reasoned article in The Christian Science Journal. Instantly I thought: “That’s the way I want to think and pray.” The author was a teacher of Christian Science who lived in a neighboring state in Australia, but many miles away. 

The next thought came: “If he lived in Brisbane you would just phone him. What’s the difference? Distance is no obstacle to divine Love.” So I phoned him and arranged to have class instruction that year. How wonderful and easy was that!

And what a life-changing time those two weeks were! To me, it seemed as if we, in the class, were separate from the world and in the presence of an all-powerful, infinite God, good, through what we were learning of His closeness and perfection.
