Today’s reading uses the ideas of lost and found. In Christian Science, I think reveal and conceal might be truer to the meaning because we haven’t lost Love or Life. We definitely haven’t lost God.
I’m thankful we don’t have to perform some religious ritual or other material benchmark in order to change our path. Changing our thought hourly, and daily, is the key. And yet, it is so hard.
If these children should go astray, and forget that Life is God, good, and that good is not in elements which are not spiritual,--thus losing the divine power which heals the sick and sinning,--they were to be brought back through great tribulation, to be renamed in Christian Science and led to deny material sense, or mind in matter, even as the gospel teaches.
I’ve been praying about harmony this year, mostly about my son but there have been other issues. So anytime Mary Bakery Eddy uses that word, I take notice.
We see that man has never lost his spiritual estate and his eternal harmony.
Funny that she uses estate. The thought of both home and substance have been on my mind. I’ll come up with other ideas for estate as I work with this today.
And my sentence with blanks, just to extend the thought:
We see that man has never lost his spiritual _______ and his eternal _______.
What would you put in the spaces?
