Can anyone be separated from good?
What is good? Is it what each of us believes will bring us satisfaction and fulfillment? The fullness of life means different things to different people — yet the search for good is virtually universal. Whether or not we are successful in our search depends upon whether or not we understand what it is we are really looking for.
Christian Science equates good with God and shows that the understanding of God gives us an understanding of good. Mrs. Eddy provides a keen insight into the nature of good and shows us what to expect if we truly desire to find good in our experience. She writes: "When a hungry heart petitions the divine Father-Mother God for bread, it is not given a stone, — but more grace, obedience, and love. If this heart, humble and trustful, faithfully asks divine Love to feed it with the bread of heaven, health, holiness, it will be conformed to a fitness to receive the answer to its desire; then will flow into it the 'river of His pleasure,' the tributary of divine Love, and great growth in Christian Science will follow, — even that joy which finds one's own in another's good."
