A spiritual outlook found us a home

Have you ever considered love to be something that can meet your needs? The Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, wrote, “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 494).

When I first encountered this sentence as a child, I mistakenly thought it meant that God, divine Love, knew I needed some physical item and would provide it. What I came to understand is that we actually already include everything we need. This is because we each reflect God, Spirit, who includes all—we are God’s “image,” as Genesis 1 puts it (see verses 26 and 27)—and so are completely spiritual. As I continue to explore and ponder this, I have found with each new adventure that my everyday needs are met fully and tangibly.
