Safe in Love’s armor

Charlene Anne Miller

My friends and I were walking to class when a boy began to yell at me. Mean things poured out of his mouth. “You’re a disgrace to the human race!”

Every day the insults rained down. My friends wondered why I didn’t fight back. A war of words? Nope. I chose to pray instead.

I read the Christian Science Bible Lesson every morning before school. The ideas about God I found in the Lesson were powerful. They helped me deal with problems and find healing. You might say that these spiritual truths became a shield of defense, protection, and strength.
