Right now

PATRICIA RENNIE

If we are fretting about the past or worrying about the future, we are actually cheating ourselves out of present good. If constantly filled with regret or anxiety, how can we be receptive to the abundant good that God is giving us—right now?

At this moment God, divine Love, surrounds, supports, and sustains us as His ideas. We can know and prove this; the Bible teaches that God is everywhere and is all-powerful. Every one of us is, in fact, His beloved child.

When we think of God, we can know that He, divine Love, is perfect in every way. We could never conceive of God as being sick, deprived, or lacking anything. Yet mortals assume that man, His idea, is liable to all these things. Mrs. Eddy tells us, "The admission to one's self that man is God's own likeness sets man free to master the infinite idea." Science and Health, p. 90. Why don't we admit to ourselves, right now, that we are "God's own likeness" and as such we are free of anything discordant, just as God is.
