Resplendent Being

HELEN F. WELCH

Illumined being is not merely existing. It is living with a purpose; it is a joyous witness-bearing. God's man raises a song of perpetual praise to his Maker. His entire being harmonizes with his creator.

Mrs. Eddy says, "Human hope and faith should join in nature's grand harmony, and, if on minor key, make music in the heart." ^{Miscellaneous Writings, p. 330:} Further on, speaking of mortals, she questions, "When downtrodden like the grass, did it make them humble, loving, obedient, full of good odor, and cause them to wait patiently on God for man's rich heritage,—'dominion over all the earth?" ^{p. 331;}

Dominion springs from divinity, the star of one's being, which, in the first faint gleams of divine Science, we glimpse but dimly. As spiritual understanding increases, we behold and claim more fully God's blessings of enrichment and enlightenment. We look more and more toward Principle, the source of all being, with its continuous unfoldment of fresh ideas and sublime qualities.
