In Mary Baker Eddy’s book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, she wrote: “Honesty is spiritual power. Dishonesty is human weakness, which forfeits divine help” (p. 453). This passage is very inspiring to me and is one that I cherish.
A few years ago, it played a role in a story I have to tell. At the time, my laptop had recently received a significant online update from a major company, and I was grateful.
Shortly afterward, looking over my emails, I noticed a bill from the company for the service they had recently completed. I was surprised because my tech package included that specific service without extra charge. I was confused, so I called the number on the page. The kind voice on the other end apologized and admitted that there had been a mistake and said that they would refund the money, which I had mistakenly been charged. The initial procedure began as before, with permission to access my laptop, this time for them to make the “necessary correction.”
