Your reason for existing

Why am I here? A big question! Most days, we’re occupied with trying to figure out the details of daily life. But when we take time to ask why we’re “here,” what do we mean? Here, just living a limited, human life? If that’s what it means, then it might not sound so great. So what can we do? 

Christian Science teaches that everyone can choose a different way of living and that this begins with changing our thinking: basing it on the allness, realness, and nearness of God, Spirit. In fact, God is nearer than near. Christian Science is founded on the fact that, as Christ Jesus said, “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30), and this spiritual way of thinking changes everything.

Healing is what Jesus did through his expression of God’s ever-present love, which is also included in every one of us.
