Unite my heart

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    1. Psalm 86: 11
    11 Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

    The words “unite my heart” really caught me, and reminded me of a few other verses.

    First, from last week’s (July 16th, 2017 – Life) Responsive Reading, Matthew 6: 21:
    For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    And next, which we’ve discussed in past Bible Studies and Roundtables, is Matthew 6:24:
    No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

    I am so grateful for how Christian Science is showing me how to have my heart united. Before coming to this church, I spent a lot of time fighting what I felt was right in order to accommodate others, and in the course of all that felt as though I was being ripped in two or more pieces. Learning to live according to these teachings, I am not being pulled from multiple directions because I am no longer trying to serve multiple masters.

    I am grateful to have one God, and one purpose, and for all the instruction and practitioner support that are teaching me exactly where my treasure is: In serving God and His Cause! Thank you!

    I thought a lot about this too, so I looked up UNITE. /The 1828 Webster’s Dictionary says in part: To put together, join , to tie, connect, to make near, to adhere.
    Yes, Dear LORD, unite our hearts to fear thy name !
