@lM~
307, 'It is not the clasping of hands,
nor loved person present; it is
more than this: it is a spiritual
idea that lights your path" And
she adds, "What glorious inherit
ance is given to us through the I'M
derstanding of omnipresent Lover
If men insist upon believing that
there is power opposed to God, and
that they are separated from Him
by adverse human circumstances,
they cannot feel the comfort and
reinsurance that radiate from the
lighted path. Indeed, there will be
only dark and joyless path for
those who are not looking to the
divine source of all light for love
and companionship. Christ Jesus
said, "Let your light so shine be-
fore men. that they may see your
good works, and glorify your Father
which is in heaven" Matthew 5:16).
The natural, happy result of enjoy
ing the light of the knowledge of
Gods presence is that others share
this enlightened Joy. Then those
who have not yet claimed Gods
love for themselves and glimpsed
their glorious inheritance" of spir-
itual companionship will learn of
His love.
That intrepid Christian, Paul, who
for love of the Masters teachings
exposed himself to all the opposition
of the carnal mind, stated the result
of his experiences decisively in a
letter to the Romans. He wrote
(Romans S:38, 39), For l am per-
suaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor municipalities, nor
powers, nor things present. nor
things to come, nor height, nor
depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from
the love of God" This Christian
warrior, who journeyed into strange
lands and dwelt in unfriendly cities,
knew and proved, as we may today,
that nothing can separate man from
Gods love.
So, whether we are alone in big
city or vast country, surrounded
or solitary, we can know that we are
indeed loved, and therefore need
never be lonely of heart" Since
infinite divine Love is our constant
and satisfying companion, we can
rest assured that from His healing
presence and ministering love we
can never be separated.-The Chris
tiGn Science Monitor.
