My Husband couldn't wait to show me the above photograph of deep space taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. From its position above the earth's dense atmosphere, this telescope has the ability to see farther into space than humanity has ever seen before. In 1997 it was intentionally pointed at a part of the sky where there appeared to be no light. Searching that speck of sky was comparable to viewing a dime from a distance of seventy-five feet.
The film developed from that exposure showed that the tiny black speck contained over 1,500 points of light. And each point was a galaxy! Looking at that photo of what appeared from a vantage point on earth to be the darkest spot in the sky, not only did we see light was present—but we saw whole galaxies of it!
Just as scientists used that powerful lens to magnify light where there seemed to be only darkness, it is possible to see the light of God's love during our most difficult and darkest times. There is a Science to doing it, divine Science. Mary Baker Eddy writes, "The lens of Science magnifies the divine power to human sight; and we then see the supremacy of Spirit and the nothingness of matter." Miscellaneous Writings, p. 194.
