People ask me how I made it through prison?
People ask me how I made it through prison? I made it through with Christian Science — by knowing spiritual reality (knowing God as well), and all the stuff around me became illusion. I knew that the kingdom of God was within me and I didn’t have to be so intimidated by what was around […]
We are tempted to think that we are dependent on ourselves…
We are tempted to think that we are dependent on ourselves, that we are self-sufficient. We may go through this phase of thinking, only to learn that we are completely dependent on God. We are guided, guarded, governed by divine Mind, divine Principle, God.
[Christian Science is] so refreshing…
[Christian Science is] so refreshing. When I read how God is love, God is spirit, God is not corporeal, I’m like “wow, I’ve always felt that way: like God was all things and everywhere and inside of me. Jesus says “the kingdom of God is within you” and it was brought to light by Christian […]
When I share Christian Science perspectives with other prisoners…
When I share Christian Science perspectives with other prisoners, I emphasize that we already possess the traits we desire. We just have to acknowledge the spiritual, inspired qualities that are our inherent nature. We only have to recognize that.
A lot of things happened while I was in prison…
A lot of things happened while I was in prison that proved there’s no denying the reality of God and Jesus. I’ve been in violent situations and I called on the Lord every single time. But I never got beat — not once in a life-or-death situation. And I believe it’s all because of God.
Each year I feel elevated to becoming a better person…
Each year I feel elevated to becoming a better person. Miscellaneous Writings says “I find that the “Spirit of truth” will teach us all things if we will but practice well what we know.” I know and love the truth.
I now take time to say I love everyone…
I now take time to say I love everyone, whereas before I was very selfish. Christian Science has ignited my life/heart in ways I cannot express in words. Today I have the missing pieces to the puzzle that has healed my heart. Love, peace, and happiness flows through my days.
I am learning the difference between love and Love…
I am learning the difference between love and Love. You can’t imagine the peace that I have received by releasing the bonds on myself and my used-to-be enemies and giving love instead of hate. I no longer talk to a “man in the sky” when I pray. I feel his presence in everything around me.
Now, I don’t do any of the things I used to do before…
Now, I don’t do any of the things I used to do before I messed up and went to prison. And it’s because I’ve come to the truth — to the realization of what Christ is all about. Christian Science helps me to cast out erroneous thoughts by putting God first in everything I do.
I see the work God is doing for me…
I see the work God is doing for me. I have gone from walking around with a mean look on my face to a smile, filled with happiness. Now that Love has filled me, I can share it with my fellow inmates. My daughter has seen change as well — she says I’m starting to […]
