In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

I was freed instantaneously and permanently of grief and sorrow. Such an experience was unequivocal proof to me that God’s tender, healing message comes to us today, as it did in Jesus’ time, to heal the brokenhearted.

The joy of discovery 

In one day, the disease was gone, and it has never returned. I went on to have two wonderful sons. I certainly discovered that turning to God was the way to go!
I felt much better after praying.
The work of spiritual identification through prayer requires that we stand porter at the door of our consciousness, allowing in only thoughts from God.
Complaining was a way of bonding. A shared experience. And for this teen, a big downer. But what was the alternative?
While traditional modes of thinking may result in questions such as “How can I keep up with the world around me?” we can follow Jesus’ example in perceiving new and fresh opportunities from God and acting on them. 
As I understood God more as our loving Father-Mother, I found that God does not make us material and would never hurt His child. God wanted the best for me as I did for my children.
My prayer changed from “God, please give me the job I wish for because I know it will make me happy,” to “God, what matters most is that wherever I am, I am useful to You. I only want Your will for me.”

“The babe we are to cherish” 

Christmastime is a perfect occasion for understanding the significance of God’s sheltering love and how Christ ushers this love for the babe of Christian healing into our humble hearts.

What Christians can expect 

Our role as Christians is to profoundly sense humanity’s need for salvation from suffering and to find this salvation ourselves in seeing our lives as expressing God—for everyone’s sake.
It is logical and important to listen for what our Father-Mother God knows of us, since each of us is His very good creation, always safe and perfect.
Like Mary, we can accept God’s love for us as fundamental to our worthiness and see our lives open up to an abundance of selfless living and spiritual growth.
