The place where God is seen and heard
The demand was to recognize divine Love’s authority and understand that no suggestion of reality in evil could ever be the final word.
Years ago, after hearing news reports of an awful event, a relative exclaimed, “Now we know that evil is real!” It was tempting in that moment to agree with her. The evidence of discord, hatred, and revenge was plain to see.
As upsetting as the images of the event were, though, I mentally rebelled against this declaration that evil is real. But more was needed. To merely dismiss evil’s apparent reality and power would be uncaring and callous, turning a blind eye to human suffering. I knew in my heart that God is the only power. And as a Christian Scientist, I felt that not acknowledging the presence and power of God, divine Love, in any situation was simply wrong. The demand of the moment was that I recognize divine Love’s pervasive authority and understand that no suggestion of reality in evil could ever be the final word.
