In Love Forever

[For young adults]

WILLIAM ROBERT SUDDABY

Who does not long to be loved? The understanding loyalty of a friend who loves you bathes your world in a warm and tender beauty and lightens every burden. Often we find ourselves capable of our undreamed-of best when someone filled with love is watching.

It is a mistake to think that human affection is something to be avoided. Christian Science places high value on it. Mrs. Eddy says of Christ Jesus that "out of the amplitude of his pure affection, he defined Love." Science and Health, p. 54; And in her Miscellaneous Writings she says, "To suppose that human love, guided by the divine Principle, which is Love, is partial, unmerciful, or unjust, indicates misapprehension of the divine Principle and its workings in the human heart." Mis., p. 290;

There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel loved. It is as legitimate to expect a human manifestation of love to follow our increased understanding of God, who is Love, as it is to expect a human manifestation of health to result from scientific prayer. Christian Science comes to mankind where it finds them and blesses them in a way that they understand.
