To realize is to make real, just like to homogenize is to make homogeneous, to categorize is to make
into categories, and to capitalize is to make capital. By recognizing what is good around us, by
realizing it, we make goodness real in our experience here and now; and “real-ize” it. We must
realize God’s presence, power, love, mercy, goodness, and control. How is that done? Recognize it,
here and now; look beyond matter and recognize (or realize) God’s divine nature around us.
As Paul wrote to the Philippians (See Phil 4:8), “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any
praise, think on these things.” In proportion to our ability to do that, good is manifested and others
see it too. In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, (261:6), she writes,
“Look away from the body into Truth and Love, the Principle of all happiness, harmony, and
immortality. Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these
into your experience proportionably to their occupancy of your thoughts.” Let’s realize the good that
surrounds us!
