Inspiring Thoughts

Vibrating like a pendulum between sin and the hope of forgiveness — selfishness and sensuality causing constant retrogression, — our moral progress will be slow. Waking to Christ’s demand, mortals experience suffering. This causes them, even as drowning men, to make vigorous efforts to save themselves; and through Christ’s precious love these efforts are crowned with success.”

— Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy – p. 22, 3-10.
