Is it our fault?
The suggestion that there is a problem that needs to be fixed is dissolved by understanding the all-power of divine Love.
This article is part of a series appearing occasionally in the Sentinel, The Christian Science Journal, and The Herald of Christian Science. Each article aims to correct some misconception about Christian Science that would keep us from having the results we so desire as spiritual healers.
There is a pivotal scene in the movie Good Will Hunting where one character tells another, “It’s not your fault.” He says it several times. It’s a profound and healing moment that lifts the burden of guilt, shame, and anger off the second character and frees him to move forward in his life.
