ENJOY NOW

[Of Special Interest to Young People]

Are we really enjoying this very moment? Or does our thought revert to the past or look to the future? Yet all we have is the ever-present now, and it should be enjoyed to the fullest.

Mary Baker Eddy tells us in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 12): "We own no past, no future, we possess only now. If the reliable now is carelessly lost in speaking or in acting, it comes not back again. Whatever needs to be done which cannot be done now, God prepares the way for doing; while that which can be done now, but is not, increases our indebtedness to God. Faith in divine Love supplies the ever-present help and now. and gives the power to 'act in the living present.' "

Then our goal must be to "act in the living present." But how can we? Through the teachings of Christian Science, we learn that God is the starting point in any endeavor—God, who is divine Mind, Spirit, Life, and Love. According to the Scriptures, man is made in the image and likeness of God; therefore man must be spiritual, reflecting all that God, Spirit, is.
