Our goal is spirituality

Spirituality may seem ephemeral or even irrelevant to the demands we face in our lives. But the fact is that an increased understanding of our spirituality can make a dramatic difference.

Edna Le Baron

When I first stepped from school into the business world, I felt I had little more than a very skimpy share of either talent or technique, and I earned skimpy wages. After several years of routine work, I found things only slightly improved. One day a fellow worker near me, knowing of my discouragement, wrote on a slip of paper and handed to me this statement: "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need."^{Science and Health, p. 494.}

This was my introduction to Christian Science, and it turned me at once to a desire to know God, divine Love, better and to lean on Him. Up to that time I had gone to church now and then. But I had given no deep thought to God and what He meant to me.

What the simple statement, which my friend had taken from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, revealed to me was that we can turn to God in every need and that we can expect our problems to be met in a complete and satisfying way. The solution to our problems may not always come about in the way we humanly outline, but we will find it in the way divine Love prepares for us.
