Grateful that Christ has enabled me to do God's work

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!

    2. I Timothy 1
    12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
    13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

    From the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary:

    Enabled
    Supplied with sufficient power, physical, moral or legal.

    Ministry
    The office, duties or functions of a subordinate agent of any kind.

    Subordinate
    To place in order or rank below something else; …

    These verses really spoke to me this week, as they echo my own gratitude. To come here and find my calling – especially after years of fairly vocal disdain for Christianity and Christian Science – really speaks to the level of mercy God is capable of! And, to find that each day, whatever I feel called to do, I have already been “Supplied with sufficient power” to do it because of the Christ, and this Science…well, what more proof would I need that I am in my right place, and that God is good?

    Thank you so much for this lesson!
