KNOWING AND TRUSTING TRUTH

FLORENCE L. DARDEN

A Student of Christian Science is constantly reminded to keep his consciousness filled with the truth of being. Mary Baker Eddy writes in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 210), "Beloved Christian Scientists, keep your minds so filled with Truth and Love, that sin, disease, and death cannot enter them." Christ Jesus, the Master, said to his followers (John 8:32), "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." From these two statements we learn of the universal need for seeking and finding the truth.

To find the truth of being one must reject all belief in error and its seeming power and fill his consciousness with the allness and goodness of God. By clearing our thinking of all the false beliefs of the material senses we are enabled to understand and admit God's healing power. As Mrs. Eddy says in our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (pp. 142, 143), "Truth is God's remedy for error of every kind, and Truth destroys only what is untrue."

One may say, "Knowing the truth is so hard for me, and it never seems to work." Knowing the truth is not a struggle, neither is it a burdensome chore. Truth is as infinite and ever present as the Father. Who or what can limit the perfection of God's creation? Because there is only one God, one creator, there is only one perfect creation and one power. It is Truth, God, which heals, and nothing else does. Nothing can hinder the ever-present unfolding of God's healing power.
