No separation

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!

    “Let unselfishness, goodness, mercy, justice, health, holiness, love – the kingdom of heaven – reign within us, and sin, disease, and death will diminish until they finally disappear.”

    Here is the perfect recipe for living a healthy and satisfying life. Jesus said that the kingdom of God is within us. There is no separation between us and God. We don’t have to try to be something we are not. We just have to let the natural God-like qualities, that are already our being, govern us. Let unselfishness instead of selfishness govern me. Let goodness instead of envy govern me. Let mercy instead of indifference govern me. Let divine justice instead of revenge govern me. Let health instead of disease govern me. Let holiness instead of lust govern me. Let love instead of hate govern me.

    These are all natural qualities, because they are God within us. We only have to let them rule our thoughts and behavior. The world is telling us that it is OK to be selfish, or lustful, or jealous, to seek revenge. But these are sin (mistakes), and, if indulged, they breed disease and death (also mistakes). It is very liberating to know that we don’t have to go there; and that it is perfectly natural (and healthy) to let God govern our lives.

    Thank you for this post! Adhering to these practical instructions can assure “self-government” at its best; the fruits of which would be peace, health, love, all that belong to God and we have by reflection.
