One good motive and act

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!

    “…there is more life and immortality in one good motive and act, than in all the blood which ever flowed through mortal veins and simulated a corporeal sense of life.” (S&H) What a wonderful way to think about Life! And how much better we all would be if we thought more about “what did I do today to bless someone and how pure are my motives” than “what is my blood pressure or how much weight have I gained?”!! This is what is so glorious about Christian Science. We can be “absent from the body and present with the Lord” by following His commands and by blessing His children. Everything in our “life” will be so much better for humble obedience to Him.

    Thanks for expanding on this idea in Science and Health, which I had especially noticed.

    How important to be always checking our motives—for self or for God. It determines the outcome of everything we do, as wonderfully referred to in this lesson. “Right motives give pinions to thought, and strength and freedom to speech and action.” (S&H) “The purpose and motive to live aright can be gained now.” (S&H) “Working and praying with true motives, your Father will open the way.” (S&H) Ask God. Follow His commands. All are blessed.
