I thank God that I can identify myself daily with the divine, spiritual laws of being and this gives me freedom from error. As a teen-ager, I have found peace in knowing that man possesses and reflects all he needs to express his complete individuality. You do not have to fear the future as a young person when you know your purpose is to express God.

When we acknowledge our spiritual status as children of God, no belief of disease can touch us and we can demonstrate perfection. I proved these facts after experiencing intense physical pain. Study of the weekly Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly was already an important part of my daily activities; however, this physical difficulty made me strive to understand God more than ever before. Paul wrote (Phil. 4:13), "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." This spiritual fact, when acknowledged, brought healing.

Spiritual unfoldment of the ideas God gives is greater pleasure than anything material. We are deceived if we believe otherwise. As a teen-ager, the popular thing to do need not be the right thing. We have to make a choice, I found, but we will always win with God!
