Perfection: At What Price

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!

    Job 9:21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my Soul: I would despise my life.

    How easy it is to fall prey to a misguided sense of perfection. How many times have I constructed ways to attain that perfection within the mortal experience; The perfect marriage, the perfect work, the perfect spiritual discipline, despite the deceptive nature and futility of such pursuits.
    While perfection remains ever the goal before me, like Job, I may know less of my Soul, if I pursue the counterfeit or tout what I have accomplished as proof of my own spiritual growth. Ron, NC
