Abundance to Share

JUDITH ANNE WARRELL

Are we really aware of the abundance of spiritual good at hand and glad to share its fruits? "God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies,"^{Miscellaneous Writings, p. 307;} Mrs. Eddy writes. As we accept God as the source of all right ideas and lasting good, our daily supplies will never fail, nor will our readiness to share these supplies.

Undoubtedly the main reason most of us hesitate to be truly generous is the fear of lack, of running short in the future, so that we feel we can't afford to be generous now. How can we fear that the supply of good may at some future time be insufficient? Will God's loving provision for us ever diminish? Will God, the source of abundant good, ever be inadequate? Never! His substance is inexhaustible and unceasingly available.

Mortal thought measures resources in material terms—possessions, bank accounts, investments, ample credit—and justifiably fears shortage, depletion, and changing fortunes. Mortal thought depends on an employer, a rich relation, a rising stock market, or a lucky break to supply its needs. It takes spiritual sense—thought in accord with immortal Mind—to acknowledge God as our only benefactor.
