My Day or God's Day?

GEORGE J. REED

"This isn't one of my days." How often have you said this to yourself? Or perhaps a friend has remarked, "This isn't your day!" How many times have you gotten up on the wrong side of the bed? Can't you remember days when everything has gone wrong?

Something can be done about such situations. Through the study and application of Christian Science we can destroy the false mental states that lead us into depression and mistakes. Mrs. Eddy writes in Science and Health, "Christian Science commands man to master the propensities,—to hold hatred in abeyance with kindness, to conquer lust with chastity, revenge with charity, and to overcome deceit with honesty." Science and Health, p. 405; We do not need to go along with the suggestion that on some days it is natural for everything to go wrong. We can master mistakes with a consciousness alive to the oneness of Mind, nurtured by the allness of Love, and based on the divine Principle and its idea, man. This selfhood is not the mortal, physical representative of false conceptions; it is man made in the image and likeness of God.
