God never sentences His loved offspring to be on the receiving end of any evil, reactive influence. God is good alone; God doesn’t send evil, use evil, or allow evil.

It’s natural for each of us to hear and follow divine direction when we realize that we’re never separated from its source—the infinite, all-loving, and all-good Mind, God.
