Day 17: Principle and principles

26:1-27:32

I've been thinking about what principles I live by in my life. They are in direct contrast to someone else's principles in my life. This isn't usually a problem because we are far from each other and the evidence of our choices isn't constantly in the middle of our friendship. But in a few months, I will be asked to bend my principles to meet the situation. Or put them aside altogether.

Comparing this to Jesus's principles, Mary Baker Eddy wrote:

Our Master taught no mere theory, doctrine, or belief. It was the divine Principle of all real being which he taught and practiced. 

I will have to do the same and put self aside.
