Be Happy with Your Progress

From the February 1972 issue of The Christian Science Journal


For some of us there is a temptation to think that our way would be brighter, healthier, and more bountiful if—if only we possessed as much ability to trust in God and understand Him as some friend has, if only we could study, pray, and work as diligently and consecratedly as he does.

This is a form of slowing our own progress and blocking blessings ever available to all mankind. The belief that another has more of anything than we do is a specific denial of the allness of God and His constant impartation of good to His idea, man. Hand in hand with this denial goes the affirmation of mortality and its attendant beliefs of material background and limited mentality.

Mrs. Eddy writes, "Love is impartial and universal in its adaptation and bestowals." Science and Health, p. 13; The vital need is to acknowledge and understand the truth that, in reality, regardless of material sense testimony, all good is available to all, all the time.
