God's Ever-Presence

[Written Especially for Young People]

FREDERICK W. FOX

Some time ago there appeared on the Children's Page of The Christian Science Monitor a fable about a very young fish that had heard a great deal from the older fish about a wonderful thing called the sea. He naturally became very much interested, and was determined to find the sea so that he could witness its wonders for himself. He swam and swam in search of it, but with no success. He inquired of other fish that he chanced to meet where the sea could be found. They too had heard a great deal about it but had never seemed able to find it.

The story goes on to tell how the fish finally met a very wise old fish, whom he asked, "Can you tell me where I can find the sea?" And the wise old fish said, "Here is the sea; you have been in it all the time."

God's goodness is not far away; in fact we are surrounded by it all the time. We need not go to distant places to find it. Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is at hand." Something that is at hand is within our reach, but we must recognize and accept it, if we would enjoy its presence. Mrs. Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," on page 291, "Heaven is not a locality, but a divine state of Mind in which all manifestations of Mind are harmonious and immortal."
