I love the Christian Science periodicals! In fact, I take them with me wherever I go and read them at every opportunity—on the bus, the train, or standing in line—and they continually inspire me. I had the Christian Science Sentinel with me recently, and that day there were ample opportunities to read. I found that the articles and testimonies all pointed to one theme—that when we look beyond the mortal perspective and see ourselves and others as God sees us, this correct view results in healing.
Reading about acts of loving unselfishly in this way inspired me to behold every person who crossed my path as a beloved child of God. I soon found myself pondering a cherished idea from the Christian Science textbook: “The Christlike understanding of scientific being and divine healing includes a perfect Principle and idea,—perfect God and perfect man,—as the basis of thought and demonstration” (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 259).
