The allness of the present
Do we pine for times past or look only to a future good? How important it is to understand the allness of the present, the provision in the eternal now.
…now it is high time to awake out of sleep: (Romans 13:11) Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (II Corinthians 6:2)
“Now,” cried the apostle, “is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation,” — meaning, not that now men must prepare for a future-world salvation, or safety, but that now is the time in which to experience that salvation in spirit and in life.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 39:18–22)
Our Testimony Meeting is held in person at Brookdale of Glen Ellyn, at 7:30 pm. You can also join us by Zoom. You will hear readings from the Bible as well as Science and Health with key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy. There will also be time for attendees to share inspiration and healings during the second half of our meeting. All are welcome and we hope to see you there!
Why search the future and the past? Why do you look with tearful eyes
And seek far off for paradise? Before your feet Life’s pearl is cast.
