RESIST, INSIST, AND PERSIST

BETTY E. THOMPSON

Nothing is more certain of success than the thought that reaches out wholeheartedly to Christ, Truth, in time of need. It makes no difference what the problem is, whether that of disease, deformity, poverty, tension, or marital inharmony, it can be solved by the correct application of the law of God, of immutable Mind, divine Principle. Christian Science shows us that these difficulties are all due to mistaken views, illusions of ourselves and the world about us. It is Christ, Truth, which destroys these false beliefs and establishes harmony.

Many healings in Christian Science are instantaneous, although others are not. Students of this religion must strive most diligently to realize the great facts concerning the one perfect God, Spirit, and man as His perfect, spiritual idea. They are required to resist mightily the temptation to believe in the reality of the material condition confronting them and to insist upon their divine state of perfection as Mind's reflection.

If students do not grasp this truth the first or second time they try, they should persist in their prayerful, spiritual endeavors until they do. In other words, they should resist material error, insist on spiritual truth, and persist in this divinely mental activity until healing is complete.
