After God’s Own Heart

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!

    In the late 1800s, Swiss artist Eugène Burnand created a series of illustrations based on the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the most striking of which may be found here, third picture down This unique focus upon the Father alone, watching intently for the return of his child is also a perfect depiction of the heart of Christ Jesus as well. And nothing was more important to Mrs. Eddy, nothing more urgent than this: “Three times a day, I retire to seek the divine blessing on the sick and sorrowing, with my face toward the Jerusalem of Love and Truth, in silent prayer to the Father which ‘seeth in secret,’ and with childlike confidence that He will reward ‘openly.’ ” (Miscellaneous Writings, page 133.)

    God grant that my heart likewise keep pace with the heavenly Father’s.
