The entireness of good

Keitha Walker

There’s a cartoon that depicts two fish swimming around, and one says, “I don’t get it. What’s all this water everyone is always talking about?”

As a longtime student of Christian Science and a regular reader of this magazine, I can relate. Hearing so much about good being all there is, we can become as accustomed to this truth as a fish is to water. Then it’s helpful to ask ourselves, Have I become unmindful of the glorious reality that only good is actually going on all around us?

The ever-presence and omnipotence of good is, after all, the basis of Christ Jesus’ teachings and his healing works, and it’s what the very first chapter of the Bible teaches: “God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good” (Genesis 1:31).
