The unfolding spiritual idea of your activity

From the October 1986 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Regardless of your occupation, the best contribution you can make is scientifically to establish that all right activity is the practical showing forth of an unfolding spiritual idea.

Fundamental to this effort is the recognition that success, in the truest sense of that word, is the result of our growth Spiritward. Genuinely valuable human accomplishment requires spiritual inspiration and understanding, and these may be gained as we grow in the spirit and the letter of Christian Science. This Science is not a human system dedicated to the purpose of giving us a more pleasant, richer, healthier human life. Christian Science is religion—pure Christianity—whose adherents are dedicated to following in the footsteps of Christ Jesus.

Certainly a life that is more productive and God-directed does proceed from our fidelity to the Christ, Truth, and from our spiritual understanding. And the spiritualization of our thinking makes our lives still more productive as we realize that all true activity is the unfoldment of divine Mind—the only Mind, God—and that we are actually Mind's expression. Christ Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."Matt. 6:33.
