A favorite walk of mine is along the New England coast. It begins on a long stretch of land over beautiful, hilly moors. It goes on as far as you can see. Then, with no warning at all, at the crest of one of the hills you find yourself atop a bluff with an enormous expanse of ocean stretching out to the horizon. It's as if out of nowhere the scenery has completely changed from endless moors to a view of a wide harbor, a chalk white lighthouse, and miles and miles of sea. The contrast is breathtaking. I have taken this walk many times, and I never quite get over the exhilarating surprise when I reach the bluff and take in that beautiful view!
Jesus promised,
"Ask, and it shall
be given you. "
This walk reminds me of ground that I've covered at times as a student of Christian Science. I've practiced this Science my whole life and have experienced much regeneration and healing. Some healings have been immediate, but others have required prayer over a period of time. The walk recalls the wonderful view that awaits us, and that's always present, even when healing takes longer.
