We can do more

        Do we feel we're doing all we can to show our love for God and man?  I doubt that we are.  I know I'm not.

        But what I've learned from my study of the Bible and the teachings of Christian Science has helped me see that the incentive and enthusiasm needed for life's work is achievable.

        First as a source of help for greater activity along this line is Christ Jesus who illustrated for us that our reason for existing is to reflect God, to express the spiritual qualities comprising our true selfhood.  As I've  realized this, new opportunities for being about God's business have opened up, with what it takes to be doing more.

        And Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded my religion, writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (p. 89), "We are all capable of more than we do."  in the same book she also says (p. 258), "God expresses in man the infinite idea forever developing itself, broadening and rising higher and higher from a boundless basis."

        Christian Science teaches that man is not a restricted, incomplete mortal; he is God's spiritual, perfect likeness, as the first chapter of the Bible declares him to be.  God, infinite Mind, is never limited or depleted, and neither is His beloved reflection, man.  Limitation, which comes from ignorance of man's God-given capacities, is a false belief that fades as we become more conscious of our true, spritual being.  Joy, ability, energy, and inspiration are qualities everyone reflects abundantly and continuously.  And since they are spiritual--true substance --they cannot diminish, but are infinite, constantly available, forever fresh.

        Anyone reading this blog can learn to apply the spiritual truths Jesus employed so successfully.  This will increase his own outreach of good.  By consistently claiming our spiritual individuality as an unlimited idea of God, divine Mind, we will find our mental  horizons broadening and our capacity increasing to the extent that achievements for God and man once considered totally out of reach gradually become possible.

        There is no doubt about it; you and I can be doing more to show our love for God and man.  And given humanity's great need for what we all have to give, we should be.
