Animosity dissolved by love
I had a wonderful opportunity a number of years ago to live more of the Christ-love. I was working at a large law firm, where a particular senior partner had a reputation for being very hard to work for. She seemed to take a disliking to me right from the outset and would criticize and ridicule me constantly. Fellow attorneys encouraged me to complain about her to the other senior partners and even to bring a suit against her for harassment.
But I had seen too many times that fighting back out of anger simply caused divisions and more animosity. So instead, I turned in prayer to God, who is divine Love, to understand more of the true nature of God’s creation.
The Bible teaches us that there is only one God, and Christian Science reveals that this God is the one divine creative intelligence, or Mind, of all creation. Since God is Love and all-knowing, then God must be expressing His qualities in all of His creation, qualities that are natural for all of God’s children to express. No one is excluded from this expression of Love.
