A wake-up call

Ellen Moore Thompson

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where despite your best efforts you felt at a loss to cope with day-to-day requirements? I have. In such times the only permanent solution is a spiritual one.

Reality belongs to God alone. He is the sole creator, and His creation, including man, is spiritual, perfect, harmonious. There is, consequently, no reality, no substance, life, or intelligence in whatever appears as illness or inharmony. And on this basis we can find freedom from any lingering trouble.

"That's fine to say," you may be thinking, "but when one feels riveted to his bed, his marriage is falling apart, or there's no money to pay the bills, it's not all that easy to be so absolute about God and His creation!" Yet, that is absolutely what's needed. It may seem that we are separated from God, from the very source of all good, but that's not possible, because God, good, fills all space.
