God has hold of you

Marian Cates

After weeks or months or even years of dealing with some difficulty, we may feel that we'll never get free.

But think of this: Man is God's creation, made in His likeness. God's control of man is absolute. Therefore, nothing but God can "get a hold" on man. God's man is actually held in His loving, health-giving, tender care eternally.

I suffered for many years with a painful condition in the musculature of my right upper thigh, which would periodically cramp, causing me to limp, sometimes for quite some time. As I applied the truths of Christian Science in this situation, I began to see that moving freely included leaning on God and not merely on a physical leg. This meant trusting God to answer every need throughout the day. God's support is always reliable and never lets us down.
