No Distant Hope

HELEN B. CHILDS

Do you ever feel separated from good—from the things you want most? Do the good things in life dangle beyond you as a distant hope? Do opportunity and ability seem to elude you?

If we don't feel close to good, perhaps it's because we accept limitation, inability, and lack as normal. We may think of ourselves as finite human beings striving with limited ability and human willpower to get ahead. This is not the way of true progress. It allows us to think we are not capable and must do without.

But we can turn to where there is no lack of any good. We can turn to God and learn that a better understanding of Him and of our relationship to Him will enable us to see how we can experience all that is good. We can lift our thinking to feel at one with Him and see that we can experience all good.
