Supply: The Law of Love

WILLIAM C. FERGUSON

Throughout history it has been generally believed that man is material, mortal, limited in every way. But through the discovery of Christian Science it is becoming known that man is the reflection of God, infinite Mind. By applying this truth in our lives we reverse this limiting belief of mortality, and its attendant problems begin to disappear. Where to human sense there seems to be discord, we find in God, Mind, universal, all-encompassing harmony; in place of disease, health; and instead of lack, overflowing abundance of good.

Many would scoff at such idealism as unrealistic or irrelevant. However, the teachings of Christian Science are not based on wishful thinking or mere optimism but on spiritual facts revealed to us in the Bible: that God, the one perfect Mind, is infinite good, Life, Truth, and Love, and that His creation, including man, expresses Him.

Through an understanding and application of this Science we can demonstrate that our true supply is already present in abundance; it is ours to express—to share with others—every moment. This supply is an evidence of the Christ, the natural Godlikeness we all possess as reflections of divine Love. In Christian Science we learn that our supply is not something "out there" we have to struggle for and obtain. True supply is the very opposite: all spiritual good is already ours, finding expression in such qualities as intelligence, humility, integrity, and love. All of us have these qualities, and many others like them, to express in full measure, whether we are businessmen, professionals, workers, homemakers, or students.
