through realizing God's law of abundance

ROY GARRETT WATSON

Gratitude to God for the abundance of the blessings that pour forth from the infinitude of Love's provision permeates nearly every page of the Christian Science textbook. On the very second page of this book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy writes: "God is Love. Can we ask Him to be more?" And she continues further on, "Shall we plead for more at the open fount, which is pouring forth more than we accept?" Indeed, Christian Science defines God as Soul, and Soul as substance, and reasons that an infinite God, good, can express only infinite, unlimited supply for His beloved creation, man.

Christian Science demonstrates the power of Truth to heal not only sin and disease but limitation. Orthodox Christianity in general limits the Christ-healing to the healing of sin, while Christian Science not only extends the power of Truth to heal all phases of sin but to heal mortals of all kinds of lack, and it does this on the basis of God's infinite goodness—His absolute perfection and the perfection of the man He has created in His likeness.

It is vitally important, then, to maintain a concept of God, divine Principle, as infinite good, and of man as reflecting His infinite goodness. We might ask ourselves: Are we believing that God sometimes gives only sparingly? Are we making laws for ourselves that man is limited by a concept of the insufficient incoming of good? In fact, God's law of abundance is applicable to all mankind at all times and under all circumstances, even though abundance may at times seem hidden by self-instituted beliefs of insufficiency and lack.
