Coping with changing relationships

From the May 1979 issue of The Christian Science Journal


An unsettling job transfer, a divorce, a rift between friends, a family member's demise—like a giant kaleidoscope, daily living often presents checkered relations. But must we suffer from each new twist in the flux of human existence?

Christian Science moors us in the certainty that God is perpetual Love. However volatile the situation, we can still be happy—confident that the one divine Life is doing all the loving there is. The living God is at once a loving God. And our true being reflects this omniactive Love. The fickleness of mortal life, with all its coming and going, counterfeits the character of eternal Love.

Ultimately mankind must recognize All-Love to be the determining factor—the controlling Mind and impelling Spirit—in how we live and love. God's children depend on Mind alone for their happiness, health, and progress—and not on one another. But being in accord with Love, God's ideas are always in accord with each other.
