Honorable service that glorifies God
Nothing can tarnish God’s glory or hinder God from providing care for His creation—this is a comforting reality brought out by Christian Science.
This spiritual truth is needed by many in the world today, particularly those who serve in dangerous situations, such as military service members as well as police officers and other first responders. Their service can sometimes require them to make very difficult decisions while under great pressure. For some, these decisions continue to be very real and troubling even long after they were made. If a tragic mistake was made in the heat of the moment, it can be a heavy burden to carry. It may seem that there is little or no hope for healing. I’m finding, however, that prayer as taught by Christ Jesus and further illuminated in the teachings of Christian Science truly can make a difference for the better.
