Reply To: A mere instrument in God's hands

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!

Thank you for this post! I love what Mary Baker Eddy says: … “I am absolutely nothing, a mere instrument in God’s hands to be used as He will.”

One definition in the 1828 dictionary of “instrument” is this: “5. A person who acts for another, or is employed by another for a special purpose…” We certainly have full employment in turning to God and seeking His will. There is no better purpose to have in one’s life than this! Then we’re on the right track.


Love is the liberator.
