Right attraction, right relationship

DORCAS W. STRONG

A stable, progressive society rests on Christian values. When these moral and spiritual values undergird human relationships, a foundation is laid for enduring affection based on true attraction.

How can these values be maintained today when moral confusion seems to be affecting lives of many people? Through responding to spiritual attraction and resisting its counterfeit.

Christian Science declares only that which reflects Spirit is truly attractive. Man, by God, possesses through reflection all of Spirit's qualities. And it is in these that genuine attraction inheres—in goodness, purity, integrity, spirituality, tenderness, strength. As we acknowledge spiritual man to be our own true identity, we embody these divine attributes, and other individuals are attracted to us. Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science, affirms: "There is but one real attraction, that of Spirit. The pointing of the needle to the pole symbolizes this all-embracing power or the attraction of God, divine Mind."Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 102
