All A Christian Science Perspective
- ‘The most wonderful time of the year’?
Rather than feeling let down after the holidays, we can recognize the potential, each moment, to be filled with the spirit of Christ and to share God’s goodness with the world.
- Christ comes to us in the way we need
Even when we’re facing persistently challenging situations, we can know that the Christ is already there, ready to convey the truth that will set us free.
- Puzzled? Get rid of what isn’t needed.
If we’re feeling stumped by a problem, we can turn to God for inspiration that dissolves unhelpful modes of thinking and opens the door to progress – as a teacher experienced when faced with a particularly disruptive student.
- Making inspired decisions
When figuring out our next steps in life, we may sometimes feel the pull of competing influences. Taking a mental pause to turn to God brings wisdom, inspiration, and courage in making decisions.
- Bringing out something good – together
Sometimes we may find ourselves jockeying for position or status, which can have unhappy effects. But when we start from the unifying basis of everyone’s worth as God’s offspring, this opens the door to healing and harmony – as a man experienced firsthand after a combative day at work.
- From annual resolutions to daily resolve
Getting to know our true nature as God’s children empowers us to identify and overcome unhelpful traits and tendencies.
- Our ‘bright and morning star’
Following the light of Christ leads to harmony and joy.
- The healing love of Christ
When we open our hearts to the timeless Christ that Jesus so fully lived, blessings naturally result.
- A family tradition of love and respect
Rather than getting caught up in differences of religious traditions, a woman’s diverse family helped her learn the most important activity is expressing love for God and one another.
- Living in the healing present
A spiritual approach to living in the present can release us from anxiety and pressure, but it can also do more – bringing us into a clearer awareness of our Father, God, where we find healing.
- Hearts made whole at Christmas
Whatever our holiday plans may look like, we can experience the joy and love that come from welcoming the eternal Christ into our hearts.
- Stress? Not in God’s plan.
If it seems we just don’t have enough time to accomplish what we need to get done, we can put our schedules aside and seek God first. Then, God’s perfect plan comes into view.
- Hallelujah!
As Christ becomes more of a focus in our thinking – at Christmas and all year round – we experience greater joy, less stress, and even healing.
- Saved in a blizzard
Whatever type of circumstance we may find ourselves in, God is present to comfort and guide us.
- For improved interactions, be a learner
Learning to let God’s pure love, rather than willfulness, guide our efforts to care for others opens the door to inspiration that blesses all involved.
- The most wonderful gift
As God’s children, we are immeasurably blessed – always.
- The rhythm of Spirit
When things seem out of whack, opening our hearts to the harmonious rhythm of Spirit, God, brings inspiration, peace, and healing.
- Christ-lighted peaks and mountain dawns
The light of Christ, Truth, is always here to illumine our path to inspiration and healing.
- A new season unfolding
Even if difficulties threaten to consume us, we can find “glimmers of a higher cadence working / deep within us,” which rejuvenate and heal, as this poem conveys.
- Seeking God – slow or fast
Whether we feel the fullness of God’s presence gradually or suddenly, it happens through our earnest seeking to understand more about God and ourselves as God’s children.
