The coming year—a marvelous wonder

From the January 1981 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A new year, unwritten with human history, may induce fear of the unknown, or it may challenge us to write upon the coming twelve months stirring evidence of God's presence and power. Our lives can say the healing Christ was here and illustrate the regeneration and redemption that accompany the discovery and proof of scientific, spiritual truths. We can engage in the kind of prayer that takes firm grasp on the coming months, reflecting the design of Mind's outlining on what will be history.

A most important fact to keep in mind is that these months do await our hand; human history isn't written. Ahead spreads the opportunity to discover new-to-us spiritual facts and scientific laws and to follow this newness with the wonder of adoration that the Christ inspires.

It is significant that in many parts of the world a new year follows right on the celebration of the birth of the man who so lived the Christ that he was called Christ Jesus. As then, so today, the embracing of a more tangible idea of God's presence, which the Christ always presents, presages stir and progress.
