My gratitude overflows to God for the healing of a long-standing problem of incurring excessive debt.

Early in my study of Christian Science, the phrase from Romans "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another" (13:8) really caught my attention and moved me to demonstrate more of the divine economy. But it seemed that each time I would be almost free of debt, some circumstance or "want" would arise that would justify my using credit cards to satisfy the demand of the moment. I always had the means to maintain a good credit rating, which only prolonged my facing up to the inclination to spend money before it was earned and to spend too much of it!

Even after all my debts were paid each month, I was still using a credit card for items that could have been paid for at the time of purchase, and this led to frequent impulse buying. But continued prayer and study of the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings about the true concept of supply, its nature and source, brought the insight that freed me from lack of financial discipline. This was the spiritual fact that I have never lacked anything as a complete idea of Mind, and therefore I am entirely satisfied when I am doing the will of God.
