To be
undisturbed
Is the
fruition
Of
salvation
I knew the Principle of all harmonious Mind-action to be God, and that cures were produced in primitive Christian healing by holy, uplifting faith; but I must know the Science of this healing, and I won my way to absolute conclusions through divine revelation, reason, and demonstration.
Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, p. 109 --
Put on therefore, as the elect
of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind,
meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, .....
--Colossians 3:12, 13
This gospel of salvation bestows upon you certain privileges. We are apt to designate them as “duties” and one comes in the way of a command. It is really a misnomer to call it a command, but let it be so. “Heal the sick.” Are we taking God at his word?
Do you
think if God in his infinite wisdom presented to you a way of salvation and
told you what you must do in order to follow it, and then told you that you
could not do it, that it would be an exasperating mockery?
When God
tells you to heal the sick, it means that you can do it. Why is it that people are so easily
swayed by error in this particular [not trusting God, for Him to know what is
possible]?
How many
healers are there? Just one. And what one is that? God, [the Creator of us all, and of His
whole creation]. Is He good enough
to heal? Is He worthy? Has He enough understanding to heal the
sick?
When we
come to learn what it is that heals, we will stop declaring that the healer
cannot heal. As soon as you find a
person who knows that God is the healer, then you will find one who will
accomplish the healing.
How does
God heal the sick? … Let us see
what is taking place. We talk
about realizing the truth and declaring the truth, holding the truth for some
one else and further statements of that kind. Do you know what they are? What do they mean?
What is really happening?
This Truth is God, good, divine intelligence, wisdom, or whatever you
choose to give as a name for that which is infinite. The very truth itself is your consciousness; God is all, the
only doer, the only actor, the only saviour, the only governor of man.
Man does
not govern himself by his own wisdom.
God does it all, and it is God manifesting Himself that constitutes you
as a healer. “Let the mind be in
you.” What mind? Why, the Mind that is good.
Faith is
the impulsion, the propulsion … the faith that is of understanding. The confidence, the assurance, the
voluntary truth …
……….the
only Life is undying Life

(A
student of Mary Baker Eddy, who became an accomplished healer, teacher,
writer, and public speaker.)
……….the
only Love is … committed spiritual power
to love,
comfort, and heal!
--Eva-Maria
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly
in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing, one another in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace
in your hearts to the Lord.
--Colossians
3:16
To say: “Here I am, dear LOVE!”
….. peace is with you
-Eva-Maria
