The way to God

God is Principle, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Life, Truth, and Love. (You can find these synonyms for God on page 465 in Science and Health.) All of the names for God help us know him better. If you know nothing about God, you can read the Bible and books about Christian Science. Christian Science will help you know the way to God.

Because God is, then I am, because I reflect God. And all His love comes to us as long as we live.

When we are in peace, we can feel that God is there to guide us. God is the creator and governs over all mankind.

My friend at school was aggressive to the teacher and started fights and other bad things. I said to him, “You know how you are always getting into trouble? You are not paying attention to the creator, that is God.” My friend listened to me because I said it from my heart and
because he respects me. He told me that he noticed I was the person who does all the right things to help others and he wanted to do that, too. He wanted to be like me. I told him, “God will help you do the right things.” He stopped arguing with the teachers and did much better in school.

Another time, when I was playing dodge ball, the ball hit me in the head. While I was falling, I knew God was there. A voice in my head said, “Do the crab walk.” (I am an expert at that.) I did. It kept me from falling and getting hurt more. I was very glad. And my head quit hurting after just one minute.
