The safe harbor of Love for travelers
This past fall, my husband and I were going to be traveling for a long weekend to spend time with my four siblings and some of their families, returning home on September 11. It came to me to pray about a general sense of nervousness about flying on 9/11. I knew from my daily study and prayer in Christian Science that such fears could be addressed by affirming the ever-presence of God, divine Love.
The Bible promises God’s protection and assurance: “God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” (I John 4:16, New King James Version). In the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the word Love is extensively applied as a synonym for God (hundreds of times!), along with other descriptive names that inspire a deep and practical understanding of God’s nature.
