Life is very precious indeed. And how important it is for us to understand the essential nature of existence.
We need never feel that existence is merely the struggle to jam a successful life within a time frame between birth and death, before the sands of time run out. This is the mortal scenario. Instead, let us have a more spiritual approach: find what is really going on in Truth.
Christian Science reveals that man, God's reflection, is coexisting with Him in eternity. We find that we are sheltered in God's omnipresence, living and being and having all that God provides, now and forever. As we increasingly prove our freedom from the limitation of time, we enjoy each day to the full, gratefully aware that today is God's precious gift to us. This day brings only unfolding good, the unending opportunity to live and to be what we divinely are.
