All A Christian Science Perspective
- Angels-aware
God is always communicating angels of inspiration to us – and an openness to this divine wisdom paves the way for healing, as a college basketball player experienced after sleeping poorly and feeling ill before a game.
- Gifted with agelessness
Does life inevitably go downhill as time goes by? Acknowledging our spiritual nature as God’s children offers a powerful starting point for overcoming age-related limitations.
- Regeneration
Opening our hearts to God’s love opens the door to a life that’s “refreshed and ripe for springing into newness,” with renewed joy, peace, light, and generosity, as this poem conveys.
- Moved with compassion
What if we each made a conscious effort to love others as Jesus did, impelled by divine Love itself?
- When painful memories are faced and healed
Acknowledging God as everyone’s common Parent offers a powerful starting point in healing racial strife and its effects – as a woman experienced when prayer lifted mental baggage that had been swept under the rug for decades following a situation she’d faced in high school.
- Living love, wherever we are
Wherever life may take us, our fundamental purpose is to reflect the healing, regenerating, spiritual love that Christ Jesus exemplified.
- Divinely validated
If we’re feeling unappreciated or unvalued, striving to see ourselves and others as God’s valued, worthy sons and daughters can turn a situation around for the better.
- Finding resilience through God’s grace
When difficulties emerge, we can rely on God’s gracious love, which imbues us with strength, hope, wisdom, and healing.
- Whatever happened to the golden rule?
Animosity and self-centeredness can seem all too common these days. But we all have a God-given ability to let love – rather than self-justification, frustration, or ego – impel our interactions with others.
- Harmonizing relationships
Sometimes joy and harmony in our interactions with certain people can seem out of reach. But as one woman experienced, no relationship is beyond the healing reach of divine Love.
- To pray for peace, I begin with me
Is it practical to pray for peace? How about starting with ourselves? Because peace has its source in God, it is available to all, and we can strive to express this God-given peace in our daily interactions with others.
- Restoring harmony to an unruly classroom
When a high school teacher faced an unruly classroom, he decided to pray and to share his inspiration with his science class. The result was a transformed atmosphere.
- A renewed life
Getting to know God as Spirit, and ourselves as God’s spiritual offspring, brings about a fuller sense of life – one marked by greater inspiration, unselfishness, and healing.
- Fresh year, fresh ideas
At the turn of the year (and any time of year), how can we nurture a spirit of freshness and renewal in our lives? Receptivity to healing, rejuvenating divine inspiration is a powerful place to start.
- The ‘resplendent light’ of Christ
The promise of Christmas is a promise for all of humanity, and for all time.
- Give your light in this season of lights
During this “season of lights,” we can turn to divine Love – the source of all goodness and light – to guide us in loving our neighbor as ourselves, as Christ Jesus taught.
- A Christmas reflection
What better way to celebrate the Christmas season than to put into practice the healing ideas Jesus taught and demonstrated? That’s what a woman did after awaking one Christmas morning with a swollen and inflamed face.
- When tragedy strikes
God doesn’t send or cause calamity; rather, opening our hearts to God’s wholly good nature and presence inspires strength, peace of mind, and healing.
- What's the point?
Instead of struggling to find meaning in a limited, material view of life, we can look for the deeper, enduring good that comes from God. This spiritual view lifts our thinking and brings fresh meaning – and healing – to our lives.
- The satisfying peace of Christmas
Christmas – the celebration of Christ’s appearing – comes to us in quietness and humility, bringing with it the lasting peace that can only come from God.
