It's the thought that counts
For the Lesson titled "Substance" from March 11 - 17, 2013
Recently when I was feeling quite sad about a situation, I remembered a saying on a mug at a friend’s home. It read, “Just when the caterpillar thought life was over, it turned into a butterfly.” I laughed, knowing that God’s thoughts couldn’t be sad, so I needed to change my thought.
“Substance,” the title of this week’s Christian Science Bible Lesson, focuses on thought; but whose thought? Each Bible story the Lesson presents teaches us to discern between our human thoughts about our experiences and God’s thoughts, which are divine substance.
