The title of this article is one of my favorite healing ideas. The Bible teaches that “God is love” (I John 4:16) and, consequently, Christian Science uses the proper noun Love as another name for God. 

Experience proves that knowing God as Love—the eternal comforting presence—fills our thought with harmony and peace. It is both a heavenly perspective that keeps our thinking in a good place and a state of mind that is receptive to messages of truth and love bringing comfort from God. It’s a consciousness of God’s infinite goodness that knows no fear and floods thought with spiritual light and celestial joy. And, again, this consciousness of spiritual reality heals pain and suffering.

It’s not always easy to stay conscious of infinite Love. Events may occur that catch us by surprise, anger us, or make us afraid. Reasons that appear to justify anger and emotional upheaval swarm in at times. But we are not helpless.
