Christian Science reveals a source of strength and renewal unfelt by the material senses. This God-endowed vigor touches the human situation when through the study and application of this Science spiritual sense is awakened—when God's ever-present love becomes evident through the purification of thought and act.
Spiritual understanding nourishes human thought—and consequently daily activity—with the Christly purity symbolized by John in the book of Revelation as the Lamb of God. He writes, "For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters."
Rev. 7:17 And he also speaks as Spirit's mouthpiece to the churches of his day: "To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna."
2:17 Here he typifies spiritual refreshment in terms of the daily food supplied by God to the Israelites during their sojourn in the wilderness.
Deep in the human heart is a hunger for something more satisfying than the dry husks of materiality. Actually it is a hunger for reality, to know God as divine Love, infinite Mind or Soul, and feel the joy and satisfaction of His presence. Not understanding this, many may feel a longing they cannot define, perhaps something they are barely conscious of, thus producing an underlying restlessness and dissatisfaction with life—a constant searching for something they know not what.
