"He that sent me is with me"

HAZEL E. ECKHART

"He that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone." Christ Jesus, who spoke these words, realized and demonstrated completely his inseparability from God and His continuous guidance in everything that he did. When the seeker after Truth is contemplating a new course of action in any direction, it is needful for him to pray to the one Father-Mother God for wisdom and guidance that no mistake may be made; and a step once taken, he must remember that divine Mind, which led him forth, continues intelligently and lovingly to guide and protect him each day and every hour throughout the undertaking.

This demand was brought home to a student of Christian Science when, shortly after entering upon a new business connection, she found that progress appeared to be impossible. Trained ability received no recognition, nor was an adequate opportunity given for its exercise and expression. At first the student was sorely tempted to yield to discouragement and to seek another position, but she knew the folly of running away from an unsolved problem. Moreover, the conviction grew that since at the outset she had been led, through scientific demonstration, to make the connection, she must be more grateful for the truth revealed in Christian Science that whatever is divinely directed is also divinely established and protected.

Thought turned again and again to the statement of our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 233), "Progress is the law of God." Viewed in the light of spiritual understanding, it was seen that progress is mandatory—not something anxiously to be struggled into, but a law of spiritual existence always operating in behalf of harmony.
