Let me end this month's blogging with gratitude for what Christian Science points out about God being the substance of all things. This came to my attention more clearly when I came across something Mary Baker Eddy writes in her book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" on page 508: "The only intelligence or substance of a thought, a seed, or a flower is God, the creator of it." I applied this to the flowers I was planting, and it produced quite a spectacular display of blossoms. The neighbors would comment on it and ask what was my secret? I would say, it must be planting and watering, lest they think I was odd. But then, I began saying, I could see that God was their creator, their substance. Of course, not many understood this metaphysical truth, but I was acknowledging God's doing.
And since then, the subject has expanded in my thought to see much more vividly that God being All-in-all, as the Bible brings out over and over, and my religion teaches, He is indeed the substance of all things. Healing can, and does, result from understanding this vital point.
