It’s always full speed ahead when your mental eye is on God and your heart aligned with Truth.
Yes, there may be times when we feel stalled, or maybe even going backward because our healing is taking longer than we expected, or we see a symptom we don’t like. But healing is thought advancing to higher positions in Truth. When you learn a new truth about God, you never forget it. It sticks and stays. Like learning a circle is round. Once you learned the truth about a circle, you never forgot it. Truth sticks.
Likewise, with your prayers for healing. Every new truth you learn about God is advancing your healing. You do not forget new lessons learned. You hold onto them and benefit from them. You continue to progress with them.
So, if mortal mind ever tries to convince you that you’re not advancing, or even going backward, don’t buy it. Shut it down! Remember all the lessons you are learning and keep moving with them.
Mary Baker Eddy writes, “In Christian Science there is never a retrograde step, never a return to positions outgrown” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 74).
It’s only onward and upward for you! Keep soaring and singing with Truth and don’t look back.
To keep us “soaring and singing”, of course, the wonderful hymn #64 comes to though. Thank you for your uplifting and encouraging post today, dear Evan.
From sense to Soul my pathway lies before me,
From mist and shadow into Truth’s clear day;
The dawn of all things real is breaking o’er me,
My heart is singing: I have found the way.
I reach Mind’s open door, and at its portal
I know that where I stand is holy ground;
I feel the calm and joy of things immortal,
The loveliness of Love is all around.
The way leads upward and its goal draws nearer,
Thought soars enraptured, fetterless and free;
The vision infinite to me grows clearer,
I touch the fringes of eternity.
A beautiful uplift to start the day! Keep moving forward!
