All A Christian Science Perspective
- Limitless worth and employment
Recognizing the innate worth of all God’s children opens the door to opportunities to express divine goodness in unique and meaningful ways, as a woman experienced when she felt she was underemployed.
- Public speaking and the welcoming warmth of Love
We all have a God-given ability to fearlessly express love, poise, and strength – even in front of a group.
- ‘Keeping watch’ as we watch the news
How can we consume the news in a productive, regenerating way? Starting from a spiritual standpoint is a valuable first step.
- Finding freedom from character flaws
Negative character traits can sometimes seem like an inevitable part of who we are. But we are divinely empowered to live the goodness that’s natural to all of us as God’s children.
- Figuring out who we are
What really defines us? Looking beyond our physical attributes or circumstances and considering our nature as God’s children offers healing, empowering answers.
- Making the most out of opportunities to grow
Learning more about God and our nature as God’s children empowers us to overcome difficulties – as a man experienced after persistent pain arose in his stomach.
- Letting go of self-justification
Sometimes it can be tempting to blame others for our own wrongdoing. But as a woman recently experienced, it’s never too late to experience the healing and reformation that come when we stop clinging to self-justification and humbly open our hearts to God’s merciful love.
- No shortage in God’s ‘supply chain’
Recognizing that God’s grace is universal, impartial, and inexhaustible affords the opportunity to prove step by step that chronic lack is not a given.
- Cured of cancer
Informed by doctors that she was terminally ill, a woman turned wholeheartedly to God. Through prayer, her spiritual understanding deepened, and she was completely healed.
- Forever complete and useful
Sometimes it can seem that our ability to productively and meaningfully contribute to society is at the mercy of factors beyond our control. But the realization that we all have a God-given purpose and identity opens the door to fresh opportunities and capabilities.
- The grace of forgiving
When forgiveness seems an impossible task, we can let God’s love dispel hurt, redeem wrongs, and impel peace, grace, and even “sweet reuniting,” as this poem conveys.
- Our greatest opportunity
Healing in Christian Science not only includes cures for our ills, but also transforms the way we see the world around us and opens the door to even greater good.
- Finding peace amid chaos
When things get turbulent or frightening, it can seem hard to find mental calm. But Christ’s timeless promise of peace offers a basis for experiencing healing, harmony, and peace of mind.
- Are we living in a post-truth era?
Sometimes it can seem as if facts take a back seat to opinion or emotion. But getting to know God as infinite, pure Truth itself is a powerful basis for finding clarity, harmony, and mental as well as physical healing.
- Searching for higher ground?
If frustration, discouragement, or fear threaten to overwhelm, we can open our hearts to God’s love, lighting the path to peace, joy, and healing.
- Eye healed during church service
Recognizing that God, good, is always present has powerful healing effects.
- Good that’s never wasted
Events in Afghanistan and elsewhere may beg the question, Can good be wasted or lost? An Iraq War veteran explores how recognizing God as the source of limitless good lifts dismay and frustration that would hamper progress.
- Where is God when bad things happen?
When problems arise, where does God fit in? This short podcast explores a view of God that empowers us to experience stability, peace of mind, and healing when we’re faced with difficult situations.
- ‘What if’ or ‘what is’?
It can be tempting to get overwhelmed by fearful “what if” thinking. But getting to know God as entirely good replaces doubt and uncertainty with confidence, clarity, and healing.
- Embrace the wilderness
Sometimes life’s challenges may make us feel alone and adrift. But we can let God’s love bring healing, joy, and light to our path – as a woman experienced after the loss of her mom and stepdad.
