Reply To: Nothing Ails You

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 comment. I just underlined it in the Lesson this morning and was wondering what Mrs Eddy was trying to convey. So many times I hear from Christian Scientists those words “nothing ails you” but they are without meaning or love behind it. Lately, I have strived to apply this in my interactions with family, coworkers and strangers on the street. I’m still far from successful, and regrettably wonder if I’m doing any good when passing a stranger, or a homeless person. I mentally declare “perfect God, perfect man”, but always question myself, have you been truly effective? Or are these just words? Do I love enough? I can only trust God that sees my true self and my true intentions. Thank you again. I always feel surprised when God answers.



Love is the liberator.
