We have an American friend in this line
of spiritual healing who is a beautiful soul, a bubbly, buoyant sort of person.
Her husband passed on rather suddenly, and immediately she saw for herself that
'husband' represents a divine idea, just as health or joy or goodness is a
divine idea, and she could no more be deprived of that idea called husband than
she could be deprived of joy or life or abundance. Soon after he had gone, when
she was talking with the undertaker, she heard her husband's voice saying,
"You're doing great, girl." She knew that he was just as much present with her
still, even though she could not see him, because 'husband' is an omnipresent
idea of God. When Isaiah writes, "Thy Maker is thy husband," he is referring to
the vertical dimension, and this is the source of the love and care experienced
in the horizontal or human dimension. Our friend said to us, "Do you know, ever
since he went I have been marvellously husbanded. The world comes round with
friendship or advice or professional help or support." All sorts of unexpected
help would meet her need, day by day. The abundance of Life does not come only
in the form in which we are looking for it. Abundance pours out in God's own
way and our needs are met.
So what is the law behind this? In
Christian Science we learn that God is not only Mind, and Spirit, and Soul, and
Principle, but God is Life, and that Life is our life. It lives us, it provides
infinite inspiration and abundance, and it meets all our needs. That is man's
life blood; he circulates forth from the source that is Life and circulates
back to that source. Life is without limitation and is free of time. It is
ageless, fadeless, and no more dependent on organic life than the power of
mathematics is dependent on the piece of paper on which you write the
calculation. This wonderful sense spontaneous self-renewal! That is Life!
