Find inspiration in the latest issue

I can’t help but feel a sense of victory when I read the June issue of The Christian Science Journal. I come away with a feeling of confidence and conviction that everyone has a right to be healed, and not only this, but that everyone is able to heal.

The articles within this issue make clear that healing and progress are not a matter of opinions, willpower, or personal abilities, but a product of perceiving and applying Truth, another name for God. In the interview, we gain a larger picture of what Truth is as a name for God; in an article, we learn the loving truth that there is nothing separating us from this divine Parent; and the many testimonies of healing in this issue show so clearly the proofs that come from knowing Truth—which Christ Jesus says will make you free (see John 8:32).

This freeing, healing truth can be found by all earnest seekers. As one feature puts it, the truth is proved to the degree that we each apply the spiritual lessons Christ Jesus taught. The divine Science of Christ, or Christian Science, is scientific and practical, and it can be applied to our lives, as one might apply the principles of math to balance one’s bank account.

In sum, it’s an inspired view of God that develops us further—that enables us to progress, and strengthens us in our search to find freedom from all wrongs. And I’m heartened by the depictions of freedom ringing through this issue, showing the Berlin Wall coming down, a woman breaking through the glass ceiling, and others regaining full physical movement after accidents.

I hope you, too, feel the joy and freedom of progress and healing. To know that health and well-being are demonstrable today—for you, your neighbors, and the world—is an empowering thought I’m sure we each are able to find strength and confidence in.
