To-day

JESSIE G. CALDWELL

"To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings." This is the first sentence in the Preface to the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation," says the Apostle Paul. What hope is revived for the suffering, sinning mortal as he ponders these two statements made by those who had proved their verity! To-day! Now!

Whether recognized or not, all the attributes of God are here now. The real man is not going to be a better man tomorrow: man is already perfect. He is not going to become well to-morrow: he is whole now. He is not destined to be made free from the bondage of habit to-morrow: he is pure and free now. He is not in a perpetual state of going to be, ever striving for but never attaining his heritage as a beloved child of God; man always has been and will eternally remain the image and likeness of his creator, the perfect expression of Mind. These are truths which may be proved through positive reliance on divine Principle as taught in Christian Science.

Error would delude us into belief that a long struggle lies before us in order to demonstrate our oneness with the Father. This delusion is nothing else than acceptance of inharmony as real, as something tangible to be eliminated; and nothing could be farther from the truth. Nothing cannot be manufactured into something by any twist of circumstances. One cannot possibly add to, subtract from, multiply, or divide nothing; there is still nothing.
