When it comes to what we hold in consciousness, perfection is far from the enemy of good: It is essential to perceiving and experiencing goodness.
As God’s children, His spiritual expression, we are precious and deeply valued. And our purpose of bearing witness to, or reflecting, God’s goodness and glory can never be taken from us.

I realized the healing was complete when, in a few days, my grandson was back playing on the climber with no fear—and he has had no fear or trouble on the climber or in the yard since.
One morning when I rose from my study, I found with joy that the pain was gone.
