Sometimes poetry says it like nothing else can.
It was this month’s poem by Brian Blandford that helped me make some connections as I read through the March Journal. The first lines of each stanza are meant to represent God talking to us: “I see you . . . I hear you . . . I made you . . . I know you . . . I love you.” Let’s factor in a biblical pause here (or Selah).
Yes! Doesn’t that message just cut through fancy arguments and intellectual wrestlings, and speak to what so many of us need right now? To deeply feel that we are seen, heard, known, loved . . . and not just by people who we think truly understand us, but by God, our Maker, Love itself. Knowing this has broad implications not only for how we think of ourselves, but for how we treat others.
Make no mistake, this message doesn’t stay on the surface. We dive into the healing-filled metaphysical section with articles such as “Getting past a corporeal sense of God and man,” which draws richly on the Bible and emphasizes that, in the Scriptures, God is not described or experienced in material terms. So why does society so often think of God as a man in the sky? And does this corporeal picture inform how we see ourselves—broken, limited? Hmm. Vital to consider.
In addition, you’ll find plenty of reasons to build on this idea of all of God’s children being seen and heard. Notably, we celebrate Women’s History Month in the US in March, and it’s also the month for International Women’s Day (March 8), so the podcast adaptation and editorial offer some glimpses into Mary Baker Eddy’s pioneering role as spiritual thinker, businesswoman, healer, founder of a church, and author of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. We see how her writings provide a light to guide us.
I could go on, but I’ll let you get to it. Find what you like and bookmark your favorites, make notes on paper, or just ponder. And share what you love. Happy March!

This author discusses sin and explains how "we can increasingly reject the suggestion God knows us as sinners or creates us subject to sin. And we can instead declare to ourselves and become more conscious of our God-given independence from sinful thought and action." Read
