No Widowhood in Divine Love

KENNY L. BAKER

"As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you."^{Isa. 66:13;} This is divine Love's response to the need we all have for love. We all need to feel the love of our Father-Mother God.

Christian Science has a unique approach to the problems that often seem to come with widowhood. It awakens and encourages individuals to demonstrate for themselves the immediate availability of God's infinite largess of love, His ceaseless providence, ever-present protection, and safe guidance. As individuals accept their true relationship to God, they cease to come under the claim of mortal loss and widowhood with its attendant problems of grief, lack, separation. They find themselves free from fear and the anxious sense that they will be unable to cope with daily demands.

A wife who becomes a widow may be faced with an identity problem as well. Where before she may have enjoyed a sense of fulfillment as a wife and homemaker, suddenly, to human sense, she may be alone with no one left who seems to need her. To fill the void and find and establish new goals and relationships may seem difficult indeed. Yet divine Love's assurance is, "It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear."^65:24
