Now—The Moment of Truth
What peace, happiness, and health would be ours if we learned to dwell consistently in the eternal now! Instead of this, how often we waste precious moments in stewing about what might have been, in mentally rehashing past shortcomings and hurts, or worrying about the possibility of future trouble, thus ignoring the infinite potential of the present moment! Then at other times the past seems so wonderful or the future looks so promising that the poor neglected present seems drab indeed.
How foolish this is! The past is irretrievably gone. The future hasn't arrived. But the eternal now, the moment of Truth, is here waiting to be appreciated and utilized. As Paul puts it, "now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." II Cor. 6:2;
Christian Science shows us how to curb an inordinate preoccupation with the past and future. These two robbers of harmony can be silenced as we grow in our understanding of God and man. This Science teaches us that at this precise moment we are spiritual beings created by and constituted of Spirit. We are God's perfect ideas, reflections of the one divine Mind, and as we learn to cling mentally to this fact and let its glorious implications fill our thought, we can shut out false, disturbing suggestions.
