The magnitude and joy of spiritual healing unfold to us day by day through consecrated study of the Bible and the Christian Science textbook; and the quick and permanent results gained from relying wholly upon God for our needs are seen to be far superior to any obtained from other so-called methods of healing.
The statement was made to a student of Christian Science by one who was considering its adoption, that he felt he should first use material means to endeavor to clear up some difficult conditions he was experiencing, and then, having gained his freedom, he would heartily begin the study of Christian Science. What a glorious opportunity this was to explain to the seeker the allness, power, and presence of divine Love, and the harmony of man in God's likeness, who is always free and perfect; also, to make plain to him that the only healing ever needed is that of false concepts regarding God and His creation. One who is experienced in Christian Science, and who has depended upon its beneficent influence over a long period of time and has been healed and blessed by it, could never be willing to depend upon aught else but the power of God for healing and deliverance. In Jeremiah we read, "Behold, I am the Lord, ... is there any thing too hard for me?"
In order to comprehend more fully the benefits to be gained by relying upon God to the exclusion of aught else, one needs to understand what God is, and also man's relation to Him. On page 587 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy gives the following definition of God: "The great I am; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence." What a revelation to any seeker is this clear, complete definition of God! Through gaining some understanding of God in the light of this definition it is easy to comprehend the significance of the foregoing Biblical question, "Is there any thing too hard for me?" No, there is nothing too hard for God to accomplish. Neither is there anything too hard for His reflection, man.
