Mrs. Eddy, the founder and discoverer of Christian Science, states, “One must abide in the morale of truth or he cannot demonstrate the divine Principle.” S&H 456:19
When we look up ‘abide’ one of the definitions is to ‘be fixed or permanent on a particular condition.” We MUST abide in Love. We Must abide in the demonstration of THE divine Principle (God’s Laws). We must have the ‘morale’, the mental confidence, loyalty, enthusiasm, in Principle more than in personal principles, opinions, beliefs, based upon fears, hopes, agenda, the confusion and lies and fears of mortal mind, the 'carnal mind' as Paul calls it. We must be fixed permanently upon trusting God’s ever present perfect Being and Law, trusting Truth, His constant Truth.
The Truth is you, me, all are under the control of the Perfect Creator, Spirit, Love. We must abide in this Truth and Love. The Creator is Love and does all out of Love. He has created all through Love, and it is Perfect, needing nothing. Everything is done through Love. So because it is Love being manifested what God has for you is perfect, useful, helpful, timely, Love being loving.
We must trust this Love firmly. The only way we can do this is to understand Love. It is not based upon the mortal view of love, but on a higher elevation of perfect constant Love, the Christ, the Power, the Creator, Love. The work here is to learn, understand, turn to and live Love.
We must abide in it consistently. We must love it more than beliefs. We must turn to it, listen for its directios, and obediently follow it. We must look to it and away from the mortal dream stating that Love isn’t here Doing, Being, expressing Itself perfectly. We must so abide in Love that lies do not fool us, sway us, or make us believe that Love is less than Love.
This is ‘demonstrating’ Principle. This is having faith, trust and understanding in and abiding in Principle, Love. The healing follows the understanding!
Understand God’s Love for you, and all, and abide in that Love. Then you will see the harmonizing activity of Love. Look to Love for everything and you will see Love’s activity everywhere.
It is wonderful worthwhile work.
Gentle hugs
