Celebrate God in Christ

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped (Psalms 28). Spirit is the only substance and consciousness recognized by divine Science (S & H: p. 278). The objects cognized by the physical senses have not the reality of substance. They are only what mortal belief calls them (S & H: p. 311). This is a specimen of the ambiguous nature of all material health-theories (S & H: p. 388).

The prodigal son shows us that it is good and natural to celebrate right thinking and spiritual consciousness. Whether we are steadfast in Spirit or returning to the right standard, it always helps to celebrate spiritual being. Do you feel lost and disappointed by the world's prospects? Don't despair! Celebrate God in Christ, and you will be inspired and energized. You will find ways to make life better. You too can return to your Father and claim your place in His family. The Samaritan leper was healed by his own gratitude. It was a spiritual yearning which he must have felt even before Jesus helped him to bring it to the point of healing. And Jesus said to him, "Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole" (Luke 17). Jesus had the power to heal those whose faith was not sufficient to make them whole. Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? Only the Samaritan knew that he had bonded spiritually with Jesus and returned to thank him.
