Constant Renewal

William Milford Correll

In order to counteract frustration, dull routine, and any sense of deterioration, one must gain some concept of the infinite nature of being and the continuous unfoldment that is normal in God's creation. Creation is going on constantly. Man as God's child is infinite, and he is always unfolding in new expression. This fact is not confined to generic man but applies specifically to individual man. Each one can find renewal and regeneration in the fact that his true identity as God's likeness is immortal and unlimited.

Christian Science teaches that God is the Life of man. And this Life is eternal and immortal. It is infinite Spirit. The progressive realization of the infinite nature of God leads to constant renewal in the human expression. This fact is essential to healing. It is of utmost importance to challenge any sense of mortality, any sense of limitation or stagnation. Degenerative diseases stem from lack of regeneration, lack of realization of the unlimited energies of Life. In his daily study of Christian Science each one can feel the renewal that comes from the understanding that God, divine Principle, is the Life of man.

In the spring, nature gives us a good example of renewal and refreshment. Each new day brings unfoldment. The material seasons go through a cycle because they involve material, limited concepts, but spiritual ideas, being unlimited, present continuous unfoldment. Mrs. Eddy says, "The periods of spiritual ascension are the days and seasons of Mind's creation, in which beauty, sublimity, purity, and holiness—yea, the divine nature—appear in man and the universe never to disappear."^{Science and Health, p. 509}
