Seeing all creation correctly

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 includes Mrs. Eddy’s statement from page 514 of S&H, “All of God’s creatures, moving in the harmony of Science are harmless, useful, indestructible.” Animals have taught me many lessons and I have work to do so that the love I have for them also earnestly includes all of mankind; to see and understand that the entirety of His creation, which encompasses all being, can claim only a divine heritage, and is “good”. An excerpt from C.H. Spurgeon’s article “A Word For Brutes Against Brutes”, states: ” The most eminently spiritual men display great delicacy towards all living things, and if it, be not always true that “he prayeth best who loveth best both male and bird and beast,” yet the converse is assuredly the fact, for the man who truly loves his Maker becomes tender towards all the creatures his Lord has made. In gentleness and kindness our great Redeemer is our model. …. In proportion as men decline from the highest standard of goodness their sympathies become blunted, they lose delicacy, and tenderness, and becoming more selfish become also less considerate of others. He who dwells in God has a great heart which encompasses all creation…” I find this very helpful when I apply this idea not only to animals, but also to mankind.

    Beautiful post! Thank you. Mrs. Eddy gives this profound counsel (Misc. Writings, p.288):

    “Positive and imperative thoughts should be dropped into the balances of God and weighed by spiritual Love, and not be found wanting, before being put into action.”

    Joyful blessings!
