more freedom. Although my salary was raised, |
that income could different sources many
proofs that God supplies mans needs in many different
ways and that income did just from hui
man job in office. AS learned more about Gods good
and power lost all fear of lack did not become
extravagant because always prayed for Gods will to
be done, but was able to travel and live in freedom
am grateful to say that have not lost day of
work for sickness in thirty have learned that we
do not pray for material things but that when seek
first the kingdom of God find that completeness can
be expressed, since the real is Gods likeness.
The commentary wasa follows:
Friends there's valuable point for all of in our
guests experience I'd like talk it with you. You'll
remember she learned that what she needed of all
not different job, higher salary, a big bank
account Her need away from limited,
material viewpoint and to realize clearly the
present, unlimited good which is available all through
the understanding of God divine Love. You'll recall
she didn't take up the study of Christian Science just for
physical healing to increase her income. She at
traed to it because it gave her understanding of God,
which she had had before.
She learned that God is unfailing Life TRUTH and
Love, the al-providng Father who every human
need. She found that actually be at the
of lack because Christian Science showed her how
Gods ever-present help With this understand
ing needs fear being alone in the world. The
real nature of is spiritual, for is the image and
likeness of God and therefore off from unlim-
tied good guest really began understand these
truths her outlook changed Increased abundance came
into her experience in many different ways
This was really an illusion of how the teachings of
the Master Christ Jesus, be made practical. You
know, he told the people that what they needed most
wasn't accumulation of money bigger barns, and other
possessions, but understanding of God The people
didn't always how trust in God could enable them to
meet their obligations And yet the Master proved by his
example how human needs be met. AS guest has
Just told u.s. she greatly helped by his words Seek
a.. cof(. cd nd rio
all these things shall be added unto you
But you may ask, What does it mean to seek the
king God 2" Certainly to gain true sense
of that which reato learn what true substance really
is It's temptation these days for all OF us to regard
material things as real and substantial and spiritual
things as unreal The truth is just the opposite True
and supply material and limited but
actually spiritual and unlimited The understanding OF
this give fearful sngy, selfish thinking
which arises from false belief that supply ma
teral These enemies to not only prevent our
giving to others they also tend to keep from receiving
The good God gives when thinking is uplifted
and freed by the understanding of God this brings ade
quate supply.
This is explained by the Discoverer and FOUNDER
Of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, IN her
Writings where she says (p sou GOD
gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn they give you
daily supplies.
