Do you know how big God is?
I first learned about God in the Christian Science Sunday School. I learned that God fills all space. Every bit, from here to there and everywhere. There’s no space where God isn’t. Wow! That means when you look at the stars at night, God is even as far as the farthest star—and beyond! And God is also as close as a hug from your mummy or daddy.
In Sunday School I learned something else, too. I learned that God is all good. All good filling all space means there’s no room for anything bad, such as sickness or hate. This is a powerful thought that can help and heal you. I know, because it helped and healed me.
One night I woke up with a tummyache. I was frightened. So I prayed the way I’d learned to in Sunday School. I asked God for a good thought to help me. God’s thoughts remind us that God really is everywhere. And they tell us that even though God is so big, He still knows and cares for each one of us, His children, and all the animals, birds, and creatures.
