When God's Mother-love is needed

A young mother, a new student of Christian Science, was wakened one night by the cries of her infant son. Quickly she went to him to quiet and comfort him, but her efforts were of no avail. She found herself puzzled. "I know that he is clean and fed. Why is he still crying?"

Instantly, as if the answer had been present and only awaiting her acceptance, came this calming, uplifting thought: "What have you been learning of God in your study of Christian Science?"

As she pondered the question, she thought along these lines: I've learned that God is the only true Father and Mother of everyone, of each individual's spiritual identity. Because He is the only real parent, He is the only creator of man. And since God is Spirit, His man and His universe must be totally spiritual, complete, and perfect. God could not and would not create anything unlike Himself.
