Spiritual Supply Manifested

LOUIE ALLEN

What a wealth of comfort, hope, and assurance is given us in the Christian Science textbook! Therein is found the answer to every problem when its teaching is understood. We should constantly affirm the truth, as stated by Mary Baker Eddy (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 468), that "all is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." We learn in Christian Science that Truth supplies us with spiritual ideas, which, when utilized, enable us to prove that the understanding of divine goodness banishes the false beliefs of lack of health and harmony, of happiness and well-being, and establishes the fact of the perfection of Mind and its manifestations.

Since "God is All-in-all," God is the source of all supply. Man, the image and likeness of God, His complete reflection, is supplied with everything essential to harmony and wholeness. Therefore, in order to manifest the necessary supply, it is essential for us to know more of "the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy." In this way we are able to prove that suggestions of lack of any kind are met through spiritual understanding. Every effort of the carnal mind to make us believe that there is not a sufficiency of good for everyone, and that the demonstration of supply is not easy to accomplish, is without reality or power. Through Christian Science, the understanding of God's allness can be proved adequate to meet every legitimate need.

The all-knowing Mind supplies its ideas with everything needful for their completeness, power, and activity. The allness of God makes it impossible for lack to be real, to have either place or power. To believe in the absence of good is to deny the omnipresence of God; it is to accept as real the suggestions of inefficiency, insufficiency, inability, unhappiness, disease, and other false beliefs, whereas these errors do not really exist. They have neither entity nor identity, and cannot separate us from the love of God, from our true heritage of perfection and completeness. The false belief of lack can be proved unreal when we accept the spiritual fact that man derives his supply from God, Mind, the source of all peace, health, contentment, satisfaction, joy, and dominion.
