INSPIRATION

From the July 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


There is a spirit in man;
And the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
Job xxxii. 8.

It has been said: "All have the faculty of intuition, by which they can receive inspiration from the same great source of light and love, differing only in degree, according to the capacity and aspiration."

How beautifully this thought is expressed in Jesus' parable of the Talents. One receives five, another two, and another one. Should others then seem more blessed than ourselves? Shall we murmur at God's ways, and think them arbitrary and unequal, because gifts are not uniformly distributed? What more reasonable than that everyone should receive gifts commensurate with his capacity?
