"How excellent is thy lovingkindness"

HAROLD C. LEWIS

"LOVINGKINDNESS" is one of the most beautiful terms in the Bible. The Psalmist writes, "How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings." Christian Science teaches that men must learn to understand God's loving-kindness, to have more faith in it, and to depend on it for guidance, in order to overcome the evil which confronts them today.

A child naturally expects loving-kindness from his earthly parents—expects that they will protect and guide him, and supply his needs. In like manner can we be assured of God's loving-kindness and willingness to help us in every way. And, furthermore, we may be sure that God has infinite wisdom and power with which to supply our needs, to protect us and heal us of all our ills.

Christ Jesus gave definite proofs of God's loving-kindness. In spite of persecution, he went about doing good. He healed the sick, restored sight to the blind, made the lame to walk, and raised the dead. Thus he proved that God is Love, that He is omnipresent and omnipotent, and that the right understanding of Him saves from sin and disease. He said, "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also." The loving-kindness of God, His wisdom and power, have never ceased to operate; they are as present and available now as in the days of the Man of Galilee.
