Cultivating Spiritual Growth

THOMAS HOFFMAN

What can we do when the going gets tough? Is there a surefire remedy for difficult problems? Can we find it? When life seems discouraging, we can remember Micah, who turned his disappointment into hope and cried exultantly, "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise." Mic. 7:8; We too can have a spiritual uplift of thought. And we can prove it in better lives.

In Science and Health Mrs. Eddy writes, "Only as we rise above all material sensuousness and sin, can we reach the heaven-born aspiration and spiritual consciousness, which is indicated in the Lord's Prayer and which instantaneously heals the sick." Science and Health, p. 16; A mental atmosphere of spiritual clarity gained through an understanding of the Christ, Truth, clears out discouragement. On this higher mental plane we get a better perspective on real being.
