Moments of spiritual inspiration are precious. They may come after a time of deep prayer or earnest longing to know God better, or they may come unexpectedly when we're receptive to His wisdom and love. We can recognize them as springing from God because they radiate the qualities of God such as goodness, love, beauty, and precision.

A small experience I had with my mother suggests what our response to spiritual inspiration might be. She loved Christian Science and devoted herself to its healing ministry. Once when she came to visit, we sat in the backyard talking, and she said, "I have something wonderful to tell you." I was eager to hear it, since I knew that the something wonderful was an insight or a healing she had had. At this moment the telephone rang, and I went to answer it. When I came back and asked her to tell me, she said, "I can't tell you; it is too wonderful."
