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!

This lesson definitely resonated with me.

Several citations remind us to seek God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with a whole desire.

“…if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” (Deuteronomy 4: 29)

“And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul” (2 Chronicles 15: 12)

“And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them:” (2 Chronicles 15: 15)

There was no half-hearted seeking. It was full-blown, energetic, and earnest. Not “Well, maybe I’ll turn to God today because I have a problem.”

Thanks for this lesson!
