Who motivates whom

ALAN C. LINDGREN

A lot of time and thought are wasted spinning human daydreams of "the good life," or the way in which a dilemma might "work out" beautifully. God does not, cannot, conceive anything in human terms, with matter as an ingredient of His plan. Matter is unknown to God. It is unknown to man. It is not a factor in your life, your real life as His expression of His being.

If a healing is protracted, it is sometimes because we believe that we must personally activate God's law on our behalf. But actually God is constantly expressing in man His law of perfection. Principle, God, being and expressing Himself, controls every event in the universe through divine law.

God's law is always active, accomplishing good, and we, in reality, are embraced by this law right now. God motivates man for His unlimited expressive purposes. Each of us is essential to God's eternal, harmonious plan for His children. And His law provides us with everything we need to fulfill our role, our destiny, in that plan.
