God's Abundance

MILDRED SPRING CASE

As students of Christian Science we have awakened to an understanding of a great many hitherto unseen spiritual facts. Starting in all our reasoning with the premise that God, good, is All, and that man is the manifestation of God, and then applying these eternal facts in our individual problems, we have learned much about the realities of being. And by application of these truths in correct thinking we grow in understanding.

If we really believe that God is good and governs man, and that God, or Mind, is the only real substance, we do not permit ourselves to be anxiously concerned with the belief in matter as substance, including the inherent beliefs of lack, limitation, poverty, unemployment, starvation, and discouragement.

Sometimes, in sincerity, we may find ourselves saying over and over again that there is no lack where God is; but because the human need seems pressing, the word "lack" looms large and forbidding in our thought. Would it not be well to turn from anxious denial of lack, and ponder joyously the affluence or abundance of God and of man's present manifestation of this affluence? There is in this thought alone ample good to fill hours of radiant thinking. The sure knowledge of God's affluence is of itself a denial of lack, for the two do not dwell together.
