Keep Your Eyes on the Peaks!

EVELYN JOY ALBRIGHT

"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect," said Jesus (Matt. 5:48), and Paul admonished in his letter to the Galatians (5:7), "Who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?" What is it that prevents us from seeing ourselves as perfect as the Father? Many times it is something which has happened in the past that seems to separate us from our birthright as the beloved sons of God.

Mankind in general believes that because of past sickness, sin, accident, weakness, or mistake, one's life can be irreparably ruined, and that very little or nothing can be done about it. Human belief goes so far as to claim that we must suffer for the mistakes, the mental and physical imperfections, of others, our parents, and even our remote ancestors, for such are the so-called laws of parental and prenatal influence, heredity, and atavism.

Right here Christian Science comes to free us from such bondage, for it teaches us that God is Father-Mother, man's only Parent, that we are, in reality, His sons and daughters, and that good is our heritage. God is infinite Life, the one and only Life. We have always lived in Him because He is our Life. This Science teaches us that God is Love, that we are the objects of His love, and that, dwelling in Him, we have never known or had aught that His perfect love did not give us.
