Learning to Love

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!

    This week’s lesson and Roundtable discussion have helped me to realize, even more, the importance of truly loving my neighbor. It never really occurred to me until now that what is often labeled as love, is merely tolerance. I see now that tolerance is an improvement from hate, but to truly love takes a much greater effort and a true commitment is required. I now know that what I need, what this country and this entire world needs to learn most, is to truly overcome the idea of hate, not merely to tolerate, but to sincerely love one another as God loves us all, this is what will bring about the change that we are seeking. Thank you to Mrs. Eddy for this Science and to the Plainfield Church for its thorough teaching, giving us much good work to do and much good to look forward to. Thank God for all!

    Yes because only a commitment can say “I will see this person or situation in a bigger way than the senses tell me”, it takes time and Love. This I suppose was the true meaning of marriage.
