Startup business blooms with investment in Spirit
Originally appeared on spirituality.com.
I didn’t want to own my own business. I’d been quite happy working for large organizations, which were less prone to the stresses of the marketplace. I liked not having to worry about where my next paycheck would come from.
But in 1991, I lost my job. I was completely broke and wondering what to do next. I could’ve looked for another job, but in view of my high-profile firing in what was a small city, I figured that my best option was to start my own business. Clients of my former company encouraged me to do so. They even offered their patronage.
I had learned to trust God through my study of the Bible and the works of Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science. Her seminal work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, was especially illuminating. In it, she wrote, “Trials are proofs of God’s care” (p. 66), and “Soul has infinite resources with which to bless mankind …” (p. 60).
