Even a child accepting destructive tendencies will respond to good, when prayerfully reminded that they are good and receptive to good because that’s how they are created by God.
An honest heart recognizes this and is motivated by Christ in loving unconditionally and universally because it knows there is no other way truly to love.
When the approach to individual growth stems from a divine basis, our efforts are more centered on spiritual discovery and on living what we actually already are. And we stop feeling that we can’t be happy until we fix all sorts of things about ourselves.
We have the tools—including the knowledge that God truly is omnipotent—to disassemble the mental forces that propagate and sustain war, pandemics, and other collective woes.
Successful teamwork, whether a team of two or twenty, depends on a humble willingness to do what’s best for a shared good purpose—or as the Bible terms it, to do God’s will.
We can trust our Father, divine Life, more each day as the guiding, guarding, infinitely loving, divine presence always with us, those we love, and everyone.
Christian caring, including Christian Science nursing, is not a substitute for prayer, or something to do when the healing results of prayer don’t yet seem evident. It moves hand in hand with Christian Science healing treatment in bearing witness to the presence and power of divine Love to heal.
We can check our zeal for sharing our light against Jesus’ timeless guidance. Does what we think, say, and do result in others experiencing the healing impact of understanding spiritual reality and lead to their heartfelt praise for healing’s source, God?
There’s not a power in this world, not a problem we might face, that could actually deny the all-power and all-presence of God, of divine Truth and Love.
