CHRISTIAN SCIENCE teaches that God is the source of all good; and this spiritual fact awakens in Christian Scientists an enlightened appreciation of the blessings which enrich their lives. With the awakening to this fact comes a deep sense of gratitude, not only for the gifts of God's love during former days, but for the unlimited good continually unfolding as hearts are turned humbly toward the Most High for fuller understanding, and as human thought is resurrected from its materiality and becomes more spiritualized through the knowledge gained about God and man as revealed in Christian Science.
Christian Scientists have reason to be grateful that they may receive the same encouragement in this process of regeneration as did Daniel at a time of reaching out for wisdom, when God's message came to him through an angel visitant in these words: "Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard."
As the Christian Scientist progresses in the study of the Bible and the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, applying the truth to his daily problems, he finds himself led along paths where experiences teach him lessons conducive to his highest good; and he realizes that a loving Father's omnipotent hand and care have been guiding and protecting him all the way. And again he has reason for gratitude!
