Creation is ever appearing, and must ever continue to appear from the nature of its inexhaustible source.
~ Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 507
God’s creation includes boundless good, predictable health, limitless love, and eternal life.
To experience more of God’s goodness, keep your mental eye on God’s creation, for we walk toward what we see before us.
Resist the temptation to focus on material conditions and mortal fears. These are distractions that pull our mental attention to a low and often uninspired level.
Focus on the eternal. Dwell upon the infinite.
The help coming your way from the divine is inexhaustible. It keeps coming without end.
Watch, and you’ll see it.
One never gets out of God’s care This is so helpful thank you Evan. no matter what problem one needs to work the truth with it’s there it’s always there and looking away from the problem into the eyes of what God sees is what man needs to do to endure the lies of the material picture that just don’t want us to rest and trust God!
Thanks, Evan. This statement of Mrs. Eddy come to mind: “The discoverer of Christian Science finds the path less difficult when she has the high goal always before her
thoughts,…”
Thank you, Evan, once again for such an inspiring SpiritView. It’s so important to be reminded that our dominion comes from focusing on God and holding in thought the promise of the Comforter. The alternative brings nothing good. The Christ brings harmony and joy.
I have so often pondered and yearned to really understand this statement in Science and Health on page 264: ” As mortals gain more correct views of God and man, multitudinous objects of creation, which before were invisible, will become visible. When we realize that Life is Spirit, never in nor of matter, this understanding will expand into self-completeness, finding all in God, good, and needing no other consciousness.” I’ve really wondered what is invisible that will become visible???? Your post today helped, I think, dear Evan! Although we see hints of these now, “boundless good, predictable health, limitless love, and eternal life” will become more visible – as will many more aspects of the infinite and eternal, I’m sure! Thank you Evan!!!

Thank you Evan. And thank you J for sharing the link with us to Nathan Talbot’s article “What’s real and what’s not.”
Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts in the comments. Blessings all around!!
J. thank you – that is a really clear article to give to someone new to Christian Science – or to someone
who is trying to understand it.
This is so beautiful. I am lifted up every morning by your newsletter and it inspires me throughout the day.
An experience reminded me of traveling in a rented car across Texas, to return home after attending a reunion in Fort Worth Texas,, on our way home to New Mexico. We began driving the rented car early on a Sunday morning, where reviewing the HOW TO USE THE CONTROLS was skipped, as we drove west. Driving an unfamiliar model of this car went smoothly, but was missing “how to engage the cruise control” around the midway point of the drive. Exiting the freeway, we drove into a parking lot, where we spied someone driving the same make as our car rental, so we stopped to ask the driver how to locate and engage the cruise control. The answer was given politely by the driver, we gave our gratitude, then we were back on the road, using the cruise control all along the way back to the airport parking lot, where our own vehicle was safely stored and waiting for us. I thanked God for providing us with this solution to our prayer.
Thanks, Evan, for the reminder to “ Resist the temptation to focus on material conditions…”. I like thinking that it is merely a temptation and that we are enabled, by Love, to resist it.
