Thank you, God

God is infinite. God is infinite Love and infinite good. Is that just a trite phrase or is it law? I think that's an important question to answer. And, it's the one I am pondering today. Prayer, I believe, is not a human effort to try and get this human self to believe in a God that you can't see. It's an acknowledgment that God, good, is the source of the universe, that divine Love is the only lawmaker.

Today I am grateful that evil does not have a source. Without a source, it cannot have an outcome. It cannot disrupt. Is this a denial of evil? Yes. Am I ignorant that we encounter storms in life (disease, famine, loss, death)? Not at all. But, I look at the life of Jesus and see how he met those storms. "Peace, be still!" He commanded them to stop, be still. What would stop you from exercising the same authority? Hmm, perhaps you feel you can't because you are not Jesus. Jesus said, "The kingdom of heaven is within you." He also said, "Ye are the light of the world." So, you do have that God-given authority. What would stop you from using it? Fear? Jesus said many times to not be afraid. He said, "Fear not!"

An American woman Mary Baker Eddy, wrote "We bury the sense of infinitude, when we admit that, although God is infinite, evil has a place in this infinity, for evil can have no place, where all space is filled with God."

That is what I am pondering today. If all space is filled with good, with God, then evil has no place, no source. Then, this fact is a law of healing to humanity.
