What is true wealth, and where does it come from? That was the question confronting me in 2020 during the pandemic and subsequent lockdown. One evening, feeling very concerned about our family’s financial situation, I decided to research what Christian Science teaches about God’s provision for man.
As the creator of the universe, God is the source of all intelligence and substance and is the Love that governs all. The Bible tells us, “God created man in his own image” (Genesis 1:27). I reasoned that because I am the image of God, Spirit, I must reflect Him in every way, just as a mirror image reflects its original. God shines through every one of us as we reflect His abundant goodness.
The Bible also says, “Whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it” (Ecclesiastes 3:14). So, as God’s offspring we are complete, lacking nothing. This made it clear that I could not lose anything that truly belonged to me.
