He that formed thee

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!

    “…thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. …Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. …This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” Isa 43

    (Formed: Made; shaped; molded; planned; arranged; combined; enacted; constituted – KJV Dictionary Definition) (of divine activity -Strong’s Concordance)

    “I am Spirit. Man, whose senses are spiritual, is my likeness. He reflects the infinite understanding, for I am Infinity. The beauty of holiness, the perfection of being, imperishable glory, — all are Mine, for I am God. I give immortality to man, for I am Truth. I include and impart all bliss, for I am Love. I give life, without beginning and without end, for I am Life. I am supreme and give all, for I am Mind. I am the substance of all, because I AM THAT I AM.” by Mary Baker Eddy Science and Health p. 252

    These two citations from our Lesson reminding us that we are formed by God, inspired me, and I will use these citations when I am thinking about myself and others. Replacing what the world claims we are formed by: DNA, psychology, parents, sociology, food, exercise, etc. for the glory of man. I find comfort in holding in thought that God has formed us- made; shaped; molded; planned; arranged; combined; enacted; constituted us for His purpose and glory. This gives greater purpose to life.
