NEWNESS

From the June 1953 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Occasionally we hear someone say, "Oh, if I could only start all over again, with everything new and fresh, I should live my life in a very different way." Usually such a remark is made with the conviction that it is impossible to do this.

Christian Science satisfies such a yearning with the blessed message that right where we are we can turn for newness to the ever-present God who is Mind. This reaching out for a new way of life will be answered by divine Mind when our thought is opened to new ideas, and when inspired, spontaneous thinking replaces dull routine thought. As we walk in the light of inspiration, which the understanding of God and of man's relationship to Him gives, limitations fall away and we find freedom and harmony.

To human sense it seems easiest to pursue the same path day by day, but in so doing we miss the joy and freedom of shaping our course as God directs. Soulless routine action is the outlining of meaningless mortal mind, not the unfolding of divine Mind. In order to avoid empty ways of spending our time and thought, we must constantly listen for the Father's guidance even in the so-called little and unimportant things. And we shall be helped to do this if we remember that every moment is important, for there is never a time in which God does not need us to serve Him, any more than there is a moment when the sun does not need one of its beams to shine at its greatest brightness.
