HAVE WE DONE ALL?

From the August 1955 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Should we seem to fail in some worth-while undertaking, we may conclude that we have done all we can and that that is all God requires of us. Yet there is always one thing more which we can do. The prophet Jeremiah tells us what it is (Lam. 3:40): "Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord."

Although from a human standpoint we have our salvation to work out, we are not asked to travel unaided the distance from material belief to spiritual understanding. One is always free to turn to Mind, which is God, for further revelation, new ideas, new means of accomplishment. The man whom God creates, whom God knows and loves, is spiritual, the reflection of the divine Mind; and we have not done all until we understand this truth and demonstrate it.

One reflecting divine intelligence arrives at no dead ends, no crossroads of mystification; he never runs short of ideas. We learn this as we continue to search out Truth and to dispense with thoughts which would blind us to God's government of His idea, man. It is only what material sense defines as a mortal that reaches the blind alleys of despair and defeat.
