No vestige of an accident

Adrienne Thomas

Several months ago, we had a new bathroom fitted in our home, and I was to give the ceiling a coat of paint. After completing one area, I grabbed the handle at the top of the stepladder to descend, and in so doing, pulled the steps toward me, causing me to lose my balance. I landed on the stone floor, with the ladder on top of me and the entire contents of the 2.5-liter tin of emulsion paint splattered all over my new bathroom!

I felt shocked, and hurt in several places. With no one to assist me, I turned immediately to God for help. I found myself saying, “Father, You were there. What did You see?” I determined that God’s view would be my standpoint too.

I declared that accidents cannot occur in the infinite order of God’s spiritual government. The spiritual qualities that constitute my true being as God’s spiritual idea are permanent and intact, so they couldn’t be damaged or injured. Earlier in the day, I had been specifically pondering this thought from Hymn 51 in the Christian Science Hymnal: “God could not make imperfect man” (Mary Alice Dayton). This statement came back to my thought. I affirmed that, as the offspring of a perfect God, I must mirror my creator. Nothing could alter that fact. I was still the perfect child of God.
