Divine Love's protection in a car crash
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Unpredictable strokes of bad fortune seem inevitable. Turn on the evening news and there’s often mention of some horrific accident. Constant exposure to this information can be scary and even overwhelming, but I have learned in my study of Christian Science to challenge the idea that any one of God’s beloved children can ever be a victim of chance or accident.
One insightful passage in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy is this: “Accidents are unknown to God, or immortal Mind, and we must leave the mortal basis of belief and unite with the one Mind, in order to change the notion of chance to the proper sense of God's unerring direction and thus bring out harmony.”
Because God is the only Mind, randomness and accidents can be no part of His creation. Under the one Mind’s direction, there can be no dangerous encounters. This is more than a theory. If we consciously “unite with the one Mind,” we can avoid accidents or be saved from their effects.
