Everyone is in the exact right place

Published on by lindseybiggsLeave a comment

Recently, my husband and I contemplated the possibility of moving. We explored different areas, schools, etc. However, after doing the research, we reached the conclusion that we are happy where we live and we are in the right place for us.

This led me to the spiritual conclusion that everyone is in the exact right place for them. God places us where we need to be through inspiration. “Love inspires, illumines, designates and leads the way.” (Science and Health, Mary Baker Eddy, http://bit.ly/15AJ8nx) God tells us when to move, where to move and it blesses everyone. If God hasn’t told us to get going, that means we need to be right where we are.

How comforting to know that we are always in the exact right place!

Reblog: The Inclusiveness of Spirituality

by Virginia Harris, CSB

In a wide-ranging interactive live audio chat focused on spirituality for the Christian Science Sentinel on May 21, I had the opportunity to share ideas from my own daily spiritual practice on experiencing just what is practical spirituality – and what it isn’t.

The Apostle Paul wrote frequently about how important it is to live a spiritual life…Read and listen.

Self-sacrifice

Today is Memorial Day in the United States. Many people enjoy a federal holiday and some may reflect on the significance of this day.

Regardless of the diverse opinions out there about war, the military and patriotism, each person who has served in the military and each civilian are united by Christly qualities. It is the Christ which impels us to give unselfishly — to sacrifice ourselves so that others may experience some happiness and good. This sacrifice may come by serving in the military, as a schoolteacher, giving to a non-profit, or devoting one’s life to helping others in some way. We each give self-sacrifices of time, patience, money, and devotion to one another everyday, for which I am grateful.

These qualities and the impulsion to do so doesn’t come from who we are humanly; it comes from deep within our divine nature. It is God who is impelling us to give, guiding us, blessing us and replenishing us. It speaks of our eternal identity, which He created, that is all-good, skilful in expressing divine intelligence, compassion and integrity.

It is this eternal identity which unites all of us in appreciation, love, and forgiveness for one another. We have a deep well of divine strength that we can draw on each moment. This Source gives us solutions and answers to the problems we face and the skill to act on them. It is a deep spiritual love, compassion and integrity which unites us all.

Thanks to everyone who serves in whatever capacity they feel divinely led to do. Your self-sacrifice blesses you and all the world.
