God, Spirit, is invisible to the material mortal view point. But this invisibility doesn’t stop His constant ever-presence in all of man’s lives. He is more clearly seen as we love Him and His offspring. The more we truly love the Spirit, the more we see His Hand, Power, in every part of our lives.
How did Christ Jesus feed the multitudes with just a few loaves of bread and a small amount of fish2? And when he stated, “And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me,”3 was he talking to himself or to the invisible God? Invisible to those who were around him. But clearly visible to Jesus’ Christ thought, he knew the ever availability of God's care and presence.
How may we more clearly see this invisible Spirit? By seeking the Truth and Love of Christ Jesus’ teachings and through the study of our Holy Bible and the works of Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, we can more clearly feel and ‘see’ the invisible God and His Christ activity in our lives. As we consistently and persistently turn to God for all answers, we do see His healing power and loving direction in every portion of our lives. This Love reveals itself constantly to those who purify their lives and look to Him for all.
Though invisible to the naked eye, He is viable and ever-present in our lives. We see Him as He is, Perfect, All-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful Love when we turn our thoughts to Him. He, through the ‘still small voice’, guides us, protects us, embraces us in His Love. We need only to turn to Him for all things and see our completeness in Him.
He has made us able to conceive of His presence, turn to His power, and to love His ways. This is the only path to freedom from fear, doubt, and mistaken beliefs that comes from not knowing His ever-present Love and constant healing ability.
In Revelation we are told of the salvation and strength of this invisible God. It states, And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of God, and the power of his Christ, for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.4
Love fills all space. Mind, God, and His wisdom and intelligence, created the universe including Man. He is able to take care of whatever seems to concern us. Principle, God, is the Divine Law that supersedes all falsely mistaken laws of this mortal existence and He heals us of these misconceptions. His Laws removes every false claim, false belief, false accusation the ‘accuser’ tries to set up against God’s Man. God forever frees us from the accuser’s accusations and lifts us to higher vision of thought and activity.
In the Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science explains, In all mortal forms of thought, dust is dignified as the natural status of men and things, and modes of material motion are honored with the name of laws. This continues until the leaven of Spirit changes the whole of mortal thought, as yeast changes the chemical properties of meal.5 AND Spirit is the only substance, the invisible and indivisible infinite God. Things spiritual and eternal are substantial. Things material and temporal are insubstantial.6
This is a big subject, the invisibility but ever-present availability of Spirit. But let us begin with the baby steps of turning our thoughts to the invisible Spirit through prayer and listening. Let us then follow the steps He is giving, by obediently following this ‘still small voice’. By doing His loving bidding, we will begin to see Him more and more in our lives. Then let us let these steps grow into a relationship that is already there, Love loving His children.
Gentle hugs
