All of us have probably felt at times how much easier it is to say, "I believe in..." than it is to actually live what we believe. But as we grow in our understanding of Christian Science, we soon recognize that its teachings are not merely something to believe in but rather something that we can—and must—demonstrate in our daily life.
Divine Love does not require the impossible. God does not say, "This is the way ... if only you could walk in it" or, "This is the way ...but you'll lose something good if you follow it." Mortal mind would argue this is so, but this is a lie about God. Love has no impossible ideals; and God is the supplier, not the depriver, of all good. And it's His Christ which teaches us we can walk in the way.
It's so important to understand this. When we've made Christian Science our own, we naturally want to live by it and follow its moral standards. In today's world that can seem hard indeed—especially since so much of society is not following the same standards. But if divine Love has pointed out the way, we can be sure Love also supplies the ability and wisdom that enable us to walk in it.
