Just Suppose. . .

If God exists, then by definition, God is Infinite and All. God, Spirit, being infinite — Infinite Being Itself — can therefore have no opposite. This profound Truth means that we have nothing to fear. So whenever we are afraid, we are in fear of nothing! What a relief!

Spiritual vanguard Mary Baker Eddy explained it this way: “God, good, being ever present, it follows in divine logic that evil, the suppositional opposite of good, is never present.” (Science and Health, p. 72). Identifying with our normal human reaction to the challenges of life, Eddy acknowledged, “Nothing is more disheartening than to believe that there is a power opposite to God, or good, and that God endows this opposing power with strength to be used against Himself, against Life, health, harmony.” (p. 380)

Flip the Script

When facing an illness or any other trouble, rather than wasting time in the tangled weeds of human beliefs, we can instead insist upon the spiritual reality — recognizing God’s Allness, right where the problem appears to be — and turn things around.
