Giving eliminates loneliness
This testimony was originally recorded as a Sentinel podcast, and published on the Web on May 22, 2012. It has been adapted for print.
After moving away from my family during college, I had to overcome a great sense of loneliness. As a Christian Scientist, I turned to prayer, and what kept coming to me was “God setteth the solitary in families” (Psalms 68:6).
Since this repeated itself in my thought, I took it to be an angel message, and it comforted me to know God was there. Then a good friend moved away, and that really added to the sense of loneliness. That’s when I “hit the books,” so to speak—the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy.
I had learned that these two books are our pastor, and that I should go to our pastor if I ever had a challenge.
