Real Attraction

OLIVE PEARSON RICE

Attractiveness is a quality of divine Love. Being a quality of God, it is inherent in man, God's reflection, as are all the qualities of God.

"There is but one real attraction, that of Spirit," writes Mary Baker Eddy on page 102 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." God, Spirit, being All, He is the ever-present and only attraction, filling all space, eternally holding His beloved children in perfect harmony; and nothing else exists in His creation. With what joy can we be continually drawn by Love to express Love by being more patient in the home, more compassionate with our friends, and more co-operative with all with whom we come in contact!

Mrs. Eddy says (ibid., p. 536), "If man's spiritual gravitation and attraction to one Father, in whom we 'live, and move, and have our being,' should be lost, and if man should be governed by corporeality instead of divine Principle, by body instead of by Soul, man would be annihilated." This can never happen to man, however, for he is eternally one with his Father-Mother God, ever reflecting Love in spiritual qualities.
