Could it be that something indefinable tugs at our hearts, making us yearn for the truth that Christ Jesus says makes us free and promising comfort and healing to the worried, sorrowing, or sick?
If we are ever tempted to try to avoid an experience we believe might be uncomfortable, cultivating a desire to love, by being willing to listen to Love and feel Love’s presence, turns thought to the Christ and gives us courage beyond our own will.
Many people pray with great humility and a truly listening heart when they’re in trouble or have an important personal decision to make. Would this kind of prayer and politics mix?
As we refuse to leave out Spirit, or Love, and trust the palpable goodness of God, we will see spiritually and practically the activity of divine good going on right where we are.
It is the spiritual, incorporeal understanding of God that reveals the truth about both God and God’s creation—each of us—and our purely spiritual nature.
Christian Science teaches the value of looking Spiritward in this way to discern an underlying consistency that is not at the mercy of the ebb and flow of human experience.
Knowing our true, spiritual identity and realizing that we are cherished and known by God in this most precious of ways is what allows us to go forward, gives us hope, and brings healing, often before we see a complete answer.
