Invalid? Not valid!
When we see an invalid, do we allow pity, fear, or a desire to escape to fill our thought? If so, we are in effect validating the picture of ailing humanity by accepting it as real.
But ailing can't be a true state, because, like all mortal states, it's unreal. God fashions man in His own likeness, true to every aspect of His perfection. The material body is the imperfect negative of the perfect positive—it is only the not valid, temporal counterfeit of perfect, spiritual man. No matter how desperate a condition would claim to be, it is neither hopeless nor permanent.
