No human circumstance can separate us from Love

Question 2: Share a testimony other than physical healing in which reading one or more of Skip’s articles had played an important part in your own spiritual study and prayer and final demonstration.

During the pandemic, my friends and family handled the isolation and separation from other people in different ways. Some seemed ok with it. For others, it seemed like solitary confinement or “cabin fever” at its worst, and almost every moment of the day was challenging. It was hard to figure out how to comfort them and relieve the pressure of needing to be around others.

In Skip’s article called “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: Its Impact on Religion” (Journal, December 1975), he writes about Mrs. Eddy starting with God and “letting Mind itself give the understanding of God.” After reading Skip’s article, it became clear that I could pray to see that everyone is cared for by God, even if they didn’t live close to each other or do a good job of keeping in touch. I felt comforted knowing that God was the one responsible for taking care of others. No human circumstance or location can make us feel separated from Life or Love. Because of that, we cannot really be separated from others, either.
