There's nothing too hard for God

MARY BARNES

One may wonder sometimes whether he could ever be faced with a situation beyond God's ability to resolve. Such a question, however, can arise only if one is ignorant or uncertain of God's all-powerful, ever-loving nature.

When we know the truth, how can we doubt God's willingness and capacity to meet all human needs? In the Glossary of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, is the definition "God. The great I am; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence." Science and Health, p. 587.

Accepting this definition of God, one has to admit that there is nothing the Divine Being cannot do, no emergency beyond His power to resolve. Knowing God as unlimited Mind, ever-present, ever-active good, and boundless Love imparts a sense of assurance and security attainable in no other way.
