Depression Cannot Retard Unfoldment

HERSCHEL P. NUNN

"O MAN greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong." We are beloved of our Father. He supplies our ability to reflect His law. His love for us is expressed by us when we are actively about our Father's business. For us to be inactive, unemployed, would therefore not be God's will or desire.

The conscious lack of any needed thing, work, position, poise, contentment, friendship, may be regarded as an indication that there is a spiritual fact or idea knocking for admittance at the door of human thought. Thus regarded, the seeming lack points to the presence of supply — a better sense of good urging us to recognize its presence. Added spiritual growth will reveal it to us; and the human need will be satisfied by the acceptance and expression of spiritual ideas. This is a process of perpetual unfoldment. At whatever step in this unfoldment we may be, God has brought us there, and He will take us the rest of the way. This is divinely inevitable.

Can national or world-wide depression interfere with this unfoldment? Spiritual progression cannot be retarded or stopped, for it is Mind, God, revealed and expressed. No sense of depression can stop this appearing; nor can it cause us to believe that any stage of our unfoldment is a going backwards, when in fact it is but another proving experience. If we seem to be in a valley, we need but look to the high goal before us.
