TRUE ENJOYMENT

[Of Special Interest to Youth]

From the January 1944 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Because of its God-given ability to bring men limitless protection, health, intelligence, and freedom, Christian Science can correctly be said to offer the individual more for his earnest study and fidelity, in terms of peace, joy, and sheer happiness, than any other way of living. The good to which Christian Science unlocks the door is unlimited in quantity, variety, and locality.

Christian Science happifies our serious pursuits and heightens our good times. In fact, it uplifts every phase of life, for the very nature of God is to give man unlimited good. This Science invites us to exchange deceptive, material, limited views of what is desirable for experiences possessing boundless spiritual good. It does not deprive us of enjoyment or the ability to have a good time. It even gives us a better sense of fun.

Because God is infinite good, without taint of evil. His entire creation, expressing Him, is infinitely good. By pondering the truth about God and man and learning its deeper meaning, we discover the profound spiritual nature of good. Thus Christian Science enables us to give up shallow, materialistic beliefs about good just as the sunshine takes away the dark clouds and reveals the dazzling beauty of the real mountain peak. In all avenues of experience Christian Science shows us how to exchange restricted, fragile human concepts for free and substantial spiritual ideas.
