Working out solutions

GEOFFREY J. BARRATT

When it faces spiritual demands, the human mind tends to be inert. It sometimes needs stirring and moving toward the things of Spirit. Instead of supposing that we don't have much to do in working out the problem of being, or hesitating to get on with the job, we can be deeply thankful—grateful that by using Christian Science and its revelation of universal perfection, we can resolve the problems of existence. We have the means to heal and live more spiritually rich lives. And to aid others in doing the same.

Such deep appreciation for the possibilities of the laws of Love bursts open our willingness to get a better understanding of those laws—to identify them, delight in their infallibility, bring them to bear on discords, whether ours or another's.

God knows only His own immaculate being and the wholeness and ideality of His creation. In that sense, He doesn't show us directly how to establish a home or business, or how to find the right college and enter the graduate school of our choice, or whatever. But divine Love is the inexhaustible source of all the intelligence, law, and love we need in order to see God's concord appear in our lives.
