Moving forward with confidence

Gayle Weber

While I was talking with my Sunday School students and their visiting friends one week, an issue came up that concerned everyone.

In praying to know the best thoughts to share with them, I listened for God’s direction. I knew it was imperative to recognize each dear friend’s unassailable spiritual identity as it is known to God. As I quietly did so, this thought came clearly: Mind’s eternal, spiritual ideas move about within the certainty of infinite Mind’s knowing.
