Lean on God and look for the blessings

My perfection had been there all along

As a child, this writer was lifted out of illness by seeing something new – by seeing God, the great cause, as perfect, and herself, the effect, as God’s perfect, beloved child, made in His likeness.  Read how, like this writer, when we lean on God, we too can be showered with blessings.

"I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.”
Psalms 69 : 30
"To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings.”
— Mary Baker Eddy
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. vii
"If God is upright and eternal, man as His likeness is erect in goodness and perpetual in Life, Truth, and Love.”
— Mary Baker Eddy

Finding the real cause

Do you ever find yourself searching for the cause of some discomfort you are feeling?

When suffering from an upset stomach, this writer was reminded that God lovingly cares for His children at all times.  Read how… the peace and comfort she felt instantly removed the pain and she was healed.

“For thou art great, and doeth wondrous things: thou art God alone.”
Psalms 86 : 10
"For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,”
- Ephesians 3 : 14, 15.
“There is but one primal cause. Therefore there can be no effect from any other cause, and there can be no reality in aught which does not proceed from this great and only cause.”

Exercising divine control over the body

Can we really gain complete control over our body and its functions?

As an ‘out-of-control’ skier, this writer found that when he put his skiing lessons into practice he stopped being afraid, gained control and skiing was fun. Years later when he had a big ‘whack’ to his head he put the spiritual lessons he’d learnt about divine control into practice and this prayer brought about an instant and complete healing.

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Isaiah 41 : 10
"God is everywhere, and nothing apart from Him is present or has power."
— Mary Baker Eddy
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 473
"Controlled by the divine intelligence, man is harmonious and eternal."

Freedom from heredity

The all-good God is our real source, and all that we possess is derived directly from Him.

How do we overcome the belief that our lives are governed by our human ancestry?  This writer was experiencing severe abdominal pain, similar to that of a family member.  Read how …as he recognised that God is our true parent and we can only express His qualities, the pain disappeared, and he was free.

"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;”
I Corinthians 15 : 50
"The transmission of disease or of certain idiosyncrasies of mortal mind would be impossible if this great fact of being were learned, - namely, that nothing inharmonious an enter being, for Life is God.”
