Inspiring Thoughts

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.
