Because God is Love
January 25th, 2010
Below are some ideas that came to me from this week’s Christian Science Bible lesson on Love.
Here’s a suggestion for working with these ideas. It has helped me take them beyond the intellect. You may find it a helpful way to work.
Think of a situation that you’re struggling with or concerned about. Read the following statements slowly and thoughtfully with your problem in mind. Allow these divine ideas to transform your thinking about the situation.
