Do you know the story of Heidi? Every year at Christmas when I was a child, our family doctor’s wife would offer me a book of the series telling the (fictitious) adventures of Heidi, the little Swiss girl who went to live with her grandfather in the mountains because she was an orphan. I would read those books over and over again, fascinated by the qualities of that child and touched by her story. I did not imagine that there were millions of orphans in the world, supported by many humanitarian organizations. I also ignored the possibility that we each can bring fundamental help to all those children, a spiritual help that can benefit all the “Heidi’s” in the world.
When I became an adult and learned about Christian Science, I discovered the link between God and humanity, as well as the coincidence of the human and the divine. The world needs to know about spiritual ideas. Humanity needs to know the veritable nature of man and man’s true creator, God, Spirit. Humanity still needs the light of that star that guided the wise men to find Christ Jesus, the messenger of the true sense of life defined by impartial, divine Love, a sense of life that brings only harmony to the world.
According to human sense, mortals are personal creators, incomplete and limited material beings, not always loved or loving. According to Christian Science, our real being is spiritual, complete, loved and loving. This Science reveals that God -- being complete -- could not create an incomplete idea of Himself, or an idea that could be missing something. In the universe of divine Life, there are no orphans. Each one of us is directly linked to the divine Principle that crafts with perfection all individual identity. Within this unity, our oneness with God, there is no lack. Human circumstances cannot touch our spiritual identity, our worth, our reason for existing. Our true nature is the complete manifestation of all that God is. As such, we have, and always will have, a “mom,” divine Love, and a “dad,” the universal Principle, a Father-Mother who creates us to express the spiritual beauty of our complete being in our everyday life.
