REMEMBER THE TRUST, security, and peace many of us felt as children? Our parents looked out for us, guided us, and kept us safe. At times we may feel a desire to go back and be a child again or to know that someone is caring for us. While we, of course, can't go back in time, we can never lose the childlike qualities—the child-heart, as a hymn puts it—that are our spiritual inheritance from our divine parent.
A verse from the hymn says:
Trust the Eternal, and repent in meekness
Of that heart's pride which frowns and will not
yield,
Then to thy child-heart shall come strength in
weakness,
And thine immortal life shall be revealed.
(William P. McKenzie, Christian Science Hymnal, No. 359)
