What led up to this situation that makes us feel the way this adult, maybe a mother, [who knows?], feels…. a feeling of tender care.

All the giving this person had given was bountifully returned by the child that it had become more than just receiving but… a “sharing" …. Sharing a quality that was bigger than personality…. Something we can all feel through love, when we see, like we do now, in seeing this quality expressed. If we can see it without feeling deprived we have found something larger than IT…. Something good, substantial, and enduring that can never be lost. I like to think that this is because it is part of our very being whom God made us…. To experience from Him every moment of our lives.

These ideas are based on "Tenderness accompanies all the might imparted by Spirit... Understanding the control which Love held over all, Daniel felt safe in the lions' den, and Paul proved the viper to be harmless. All of God's creatures, moving in the harmony of Science, are harmless, useful, indestructible. A realization of this grand verity was a source of strength to the ancient worthies. It supports Christian healing, and enables its possessor to emulate the example of Jesus. And God saw that it was good.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 514:18–19, 25–3)
