You are blessed

WILLIAM E. MOODY

The joy of knowing that you are loved and cared for by the Father—there's nothing else like it! When we know, really know, that God is with us, we're free. We no longer feel bound up by all the mundane cares and worries of human existence. And such a spiritual freedom allows us to be of greater service to God and mankind in the ways that truly count for something.

God's blessing is a wonderful, ever-widening thing. For as we begin to understand how richly and impartially our Father is bestowing His good on all of His children, we find that the blessings we receive actually impel us to bless others. God's benediction doesn't just come to our own doorstep and sit there. It is to be received into our hearts and shared.

Referring to the occasions in the Bible when Christ Jesus fed thousands with an amount of food that normally would have provided for only a handful of people,^{See Matt. 14:15–21; 15:32–38} Mrs. Eddy writes in Science and Health: "In the scientific relation of God to man, we find that whatever blesses one blesses all, as Jesus showed with the loaves and the fishes,—Spirit, not matter, being the source of supply."^{Science and Health, p. 206 .}
