In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

Is there a way to learn to love consistently, in spite of others’ failings?
It might seem fun to have two people who like you, but for this author, it meant feeling stuck in the middle and afraid that someone was going to get hurt. A simple idea from Christian Science Sunday School helped her find her footing.

Take a stand for health

Illness is a temporal belief of mortal mind—a supposed mentality opposed to God, good—so its sensations can be faced fearlessly and neutralized with spiritual truth.
For many years, I tried to get a clearer understanding of God.
It is Christ, Truth, that enables us to see God’s creation—perfect and complete—right where a discordant mortal seems to be, and when we do, it invariably has a healing impact.
It was hard to let go of the hurt and anger this author felt after another girl stole her best friend. But as she studied Christian Science, she realized that not only could she be healed of these feelings, but she wanted to be.

Need more time?

The lesson I learned was that what I needed the most wasn’t time, but inspiration—which I received quickly through prayer. 
I needed to turn away from a sense of myself as a mortal having too much to do and recognize my true identity as a beloved, cared-for child of God, an ever-present help. 
I was learning about God’s love for all His creatures. I knew that prayer would help us find Tony, and I was very grateful for that.

No silos

We can live life as one seamless whole, bringing to every situation a recognition of the overarching fact of God’s—Love’s—presence.
God’s goodness, law, and love filled all space, including my consciousness and the very place where the disturbance seemed to be.

Learning to walk together

Although this situation might have been labeled a “personality conflict,” it was clear to me in that moment that there was no such thing as an “individuality conflict,” since our spiritual individuality—which is divine Love-given to everyone, including my coworker and me—is never less than Love’s reflection.
