Prose Works – Hungry Heart

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!

    Because of a recent Roundtable recommendation, I began to study Prose Works. No one ever told me that it was like a “field book for students”! I found this helpful passage today. I wanted to share in gratitude for all Plainfield Church does to bless all. Thank you!

    “When a hungry heart petitions the divine Father-Mother God for bread, it is not given a stone,– but more grace, obedience, and love. If this heart, humble and trustful, faithfully asks divine Love to feed it with the bread of heaven, health, holiness, it will be conformed to a fitness to receive the answer to its desire; then will flow into it the “river of His pleasure,” the tributary of divine Love, and great growth in Christian Science will follow,–even that joy which finds one’s own in another’s good. To love, and to be loved, one must do good to others. The inevitable condition whereby to be blessed, is to bless others; but here, you must so know yourself, under God’s direction, that you will do His will even though your pearls be downtrodden. Ofttimes the rod is His means of grace; then it must be ours, –we cannot avoid wielding it if we reflect Him” (Misc. Writings p.127)

    Joyful blessings,
    Rae from Florida
