Whatever one's needs may seem to be, it is Spirit that will supply them, not matter. Do they seem to be for food, housing, clothing, transportation, education, reasonable recreation, money to pay taxes? The spiritual ideas that originate in the inexhaustible divine Mind and belong by reflection to every individual representative of God take care of them all. In truth, we can lack nothing because we include in consciousness all the satisfying ideas that belong to omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient Love, and the Christly understanding of this fact meets our human needs abundantly.
How grateful the multitudes must have been when Christ Jesus gave them food. The supply did not come from matter. The incident took place in a desert place and the material resources at the time consisted of only five loaves and two fishes. Mrs. Eddy poses the question in Science and Health, "How were the loaves and fishes multiplied on the shores of Galilee,—and that, too, without meal or monad from which loaf or fish could come?"Science and Health, p. 90
Elsewhere in the same book she also says, "In the scientific relation of God to man, we find that whatever blesses one blesses all, as Jesus showed with the loaves and the fishes,—Spirit, not matter, being the source of supply."Science and Health, p. 206
