Of Good Report

I would like to express my gratitude for the immediate availability of divine help. Over and over I’ve been impressed by how quickly and powerfully prayer can bring healing.

Is there anyone who doesn’t want to experience freedom and love? The Bible assures us that we are “heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ,” and, as such, we may experience “the glorious liberty of the children of God” ( Romans 8:17, 21 ). Christ Jesus’ life exemplified the Love that is God, as well as the freedom found in knowing the truth.

When our Christian Science society decided to renovate our church building in 2021, we titled the central theme for the project “This Old Church,” a fond reference to a show in which old homes are restored and renovated. To us, this title described our labor of love and our church’s potential for renewal and revitalization.

We learn in Christian Science that each one of us is complete, made in the image and likeness of God, as the first chapter of Genesis in the Bible describes; and so we each fully include the male and female qualities of God. When my husband of fifty years passed on, I realized this understanding was going to have to be more than words.

During her final term in primary school, our daughter passed the national grade seven examinations with good points, despite interruptions throughout Zimbabwe, such as school closures, due to the pandemic.   We celebrated our daughter’s commendable academic performance, knowing that intelligence is from God and she reflects divine Mind’s intelligence—as do all of God’s children—which explained her positive results.

Whether we are facing problems at work, a relationship difficulty, or an illness, opening our thoughts to God’s angel messages can enable us to receive answers that lead the way to spiritual solutions. In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered Christian Science, defines angels, in part, as “God’s thoughts passing to man; spiritual intuitions, pure and perfect” ( p.

Many years ago when I worked at a technical training institute in my home city of Chandigarh, India, we were told there would be additional paid projects conducting programs for engineering colleges in the summer. As a teacher trainer, I was looking forward to this, but soon my joy faded when I found that they were distributing these programs among favored individuals.

When my husband and I moved to Sacramento, California, from Carson City, Nevada, in 2002, I was shocked at the number of homeless people within the capital city. I decided to pray about how I could help.

Like the disciples in the Bible, many of us may find it tempting, when discouraged, to go back to old ways of thinking and acting. And if we revert to those familiar ways, we may find we come up empty, as some of Christ Jesus’ disciples did after one long, fruitless night fishing near the end of their three years with him.
