Life, Truth, and Love for All

Tomorrow will be a special day for my son, my wife and myself (and our dog). Our son has been at summer camp for the past two weeks, at Cedars Camp in the Ozarks. This is a Christian Science camp which offers so many fun activities, such as horseback riding, swimming, water slide, caving, art and crafts, canoeing, hymn sings, bible studies, and much more.

He will come back filled with the energy and goodness of Spirit, God. During the two weeks, he has been able to practice, and demonstrate spirituality in ways he never has. He has been able to see things the way God, good sees them, and to demonstrate the fundamentals of Christian Science on his own.

The fundamentals of Christian Science are:
1. God is good.
2. God is All.
3. God is Love.
4. Man (including woman, child) is the image and likeness of God, good.
5. There is no evil, since God is all good, and all Love.

Mary Baker Eddy says in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, on page 6, “God is Love, more than this we cannot ask, higher we cannot look, farther we cannot go.” That is my son’s and my favorite citation from that book. It means so much. God is Love. What is more than God? There is nothing  higher, greater, better, farther, or more complete than Love. All of us, as the children of God, which everyone of us is, has to be so grateful, and give gratitude daily, and in every hour, for our inseparability, and unity with the Love that is God, the all good. When you think about it, good is allness of Love. God is good, and therefore, God is Love, and his image, expression, divine idea, is man, you and I.

So, my son will come back from this two week fun fill, spiritual adventure, with a higher spiritual sense of what God is, and what man is. This knowledge is healing, and declaring the Truth. The Truth heals, since Truth is the Love that is all. We cannot want anything outside of God, since God’s Love, goodness, and Truth is infinite. Nothing is bigger than All. Nothing works outside of good.

The foundation of our life, our freedom, our happiness, our supply, our employment, our finances, our friendships, our health, our strength, is God, Love, in which it is impossible to look higher, or go farther.
