Reply To: turn our gaze

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!

Yes, the simple words that goes to the heart and turn our gaze! Thanks for the post. ( Parts can be used in other periodicals, thanks)

From this Lesson on Life:

James 1:25. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

SH 248 Do you not hear from all mankind of the imperfect model? The world is holding it before your gaze continually. The result is that you are liable to follow those lower patterns, limit your life-work, and adopt into your experience the angular outline and deformity of matter models.

These citations go with the constant reminders we get here to check where we are looking or ask Consciousness where art thou? A great deal in the world today can turn us looking the wrong way and thinking wrongly. I love as part of daily protection what Bicknell Young writes about day: This is God’s day. The present moment and every moment of this day is one of CONSCIOUS CONTACT with infinite good. 1937 College, p.20 (Emphasis added). We are all benefited if we each stay the course of “looking rightly!”
