All A Christian Science Perspective
- All one with God
As we come to understand that we are all included in God’s divine family, feelings of loneliness and despondency are lifted.
- Labor and rest
Whether it’s a day set aside for rest or it’s the middle of a busy workday, we can find the peace we need in humility and worshiping God.
- Honoring God
Worshiping God means fully honoring Deity as the only power. This author discovered that striving to honor God in her daily activities and in her approach to world issues provides practical solutions and healing inspiration.
- The healing all-presence of God
Getting to know God, divine Spirit, as the ever-present source of all that’s good and true is a powerful starting point for prayer that heals.
- Redeeming negative emotions
Aggressive negative emotions can prevent us from moving forward in productive ways. Through prayer, we can replace these emotions with God-given qualities such as love and joy, which bring freedom and blessing.
- Embracing the world’s children
Recognizing everyone’s God-given freedom from the pull of dangerous influences is a powerful basis for helping others, including youths.
- Marmot views – or views of the infinite?
When we’re willing to take a step back and look at things from a broader, spiritual perspective, we’re better equipped to see and experience the good God bestows on all of us.
- God’s ordered universe
Upheaval in the world might suggest that there’s no hope for finding order in it. But as this author discovered, acknowledging and evidencing God’s control in our daily lives helps us understand how peace and harmony truly prevail.
- Finding real manhood
The key to understanding true manhood is understanding that each person is created by God, and therefore finds fulfillment and productivity in expressing good, spiritual qualities.
- Love myself? Is that even possible?
Sometimes we may get caught up in unhelpful thoughts about ways we don’t measure up to some standard. But there’s actual power – life-changing, spiritual power – in knowing we’re loved and why.
- The good news
Even in the face of bad news, the ever present light of Christ is here to comfort and transform.
- Kindness – it isn’t rocket science
Sometimes being kind may seem easier said than done, especially if someone is behaving unkindly toward us. But recognizing that all of God’s children are created to be loving empowers us to express – and experience – kindness more freely in our interactions.
- Neutralizing the pressure to cause harm
We can all play a role in helping young people awaken to – and live more fully – their loving, pure, and good nature as God’s children.
- Moving forward from mistakes
When we’ve made a mistake, is there a path out of rumination and regret? We can turn to God to help us move forward in ways that uplift and redeem.
- Una lección del tala
Así como el tala, un árbol de América del Sur, atraviesa suelos rocosos para alcanzar la luz del sol, nosotros podemos buscar la luz de Dios en momentos difíciles; esto abre el camino para sanar, como una mujer experimentó cuando fue sanada de asma con la cual había lidiado desde su niñez.
- A lesson from the tala
Like the South American tala tree breaks through rocky conditions to reach the sunlight, so we can seek the light of God in difficult times – which opens the way to healing, as a woman experienced when she was healed of asthma she’d struggled with since childhood.
- Love holds the control
Even when things get scary or difficult, we can yield to the power of God, divine Love, that brings confidence, wisdom, and safety.
- Overcoming mistakes
We’ve all had moments when we’ve regretted something we’ve said or done. Recognizing that God made us spiritual and good empowers us to make needed course adjustments and to move forward productively.
- The blessings of right thinking
Not only is right thinking a choice we can make daily, but it happens naturally when we understand God as the only Mind. Doing so guides us rightly and results in blessings that reach beyond ourselves.
- Protected from the effects of accident
No matter what kind of circumstance we may be facing, God is here to inspire, protect, and heal – as a woman experienced when a kitchen stove mishap quickly turned dangerous.
