Proverbs at a Glance
“The overriding theme of this book is wisdom, which may be generally defined as seeing ourselves and our world through the eyes of God. This priceless gift thus becomes ours when we acknowledge and act upon the fact of God’s presence in our lives and of His desire to exercise priority over our lives. Wisdom then seeks and provides our proper responses in all matters, including the domestic, the business, religious, and social world.” Willmington’s Bible at a Glance
“Remember, God gave you something very special to do in this life, and no one but you can do it! How important it is for you to fulfill His plan for you. This position is safe and secure in Him. No one can take it from you or move you out of it, because it came to you from God.” Presence, Certainty, Position by Mary Beth Singleterry
I love this beautiful Lesson on God, Soul and our relationship as sons and daughters. To me to be merciful means to live these Truth’s from the Bible and Mrs. Eddy’s writings to the best of our ability. It is merciful to guard our hearts and minds from the false systems and teachings. It is merciful and, “doeth good to his own soul” when we make sure we cultivate listening to God. It seems often we take care of things better than we take care of “our own soul.” I am grateful to be at this church finding purpose in and learning how to seek happiness “in Soul” for only God knows best what we need.
