The light of Love fills all space

Friederike

One evening when I was lying in bed in the dark, I suddenly felt a strong pressure on my ribs. I didn’t know what it was, but I immediately reached for my Christian Science Hymnal, because I always get many inspiring thoughts from it. I opened it up at random and read from Hymn 272 (Isaac Watts, adapt. © CSBD). In the German language, the first verse reads something like this:

Wherever light breaks through the night,
God reigns in eternal might.
From sea to sea, from star to star,
The Lord’s light shines clear and pure.

It became clear to me that God reigns everywhere and that His light shines in my room, too. That meant that no pain could be near me, because all space is filled with divine Love.

From one moment to the next the pain disappeared, and I was able to go to sleep right away. And in the morning, there wasn’t any pain either—it’s never come back. I’m so grateful for Christian Science.
