showing your work is showing your love

Spiritual resource to share: integrity

"If you don't live it, it won't come out your horn." -Charlie Parker

I came across this quote while browsing Ode magazine's website (it's a great new find: a magazine for intelligent optimists). It's a quote along the same lines as walk your talk/live with integrity/living the letter/imbibing the spirit/do it, etc.

For anyone who has ever performed, in theatre, sports or even in your own shower, you know that there is lots of study, dedication and inspiration that goes into those moments of performance. The performance shines when it is born out of a deep passion, an honesty and awesome love for their subject. Have you ever seen a performance of gospel music? I swear that their love for God comes straight out of their singing mouths - no obstructions, no ego, just pure love!

To me, everything relates to the practice of Christian Science (surprise)! And so in performance, as in healing, there is a huge storehouse of understanding and demonstration that comes out of this love, study and dedication.

But none of this study and dedication is any good unless you see the action - unless you are doing the thing you are spending so much time talking about!


I love Christian Science in that it focusses on the doing of the Word. Testimonies of healing are part of every Wednesday church service, healing stories are a part of all of their magazines published, and healers are considered the most important role of all.


MBEddy shares how to walk your talk in Christian Science:

Question. — How can I progress most rapidly in the understanding of Christian Science?
Answer. — Study thoroughly the letter and imbibe the spirit. Adhere to the divine Principle of Christian Science and follow the behests of God, abiding steadfastly in wisdom, Truth, and Love. .... Hold perpetually this thought, — that it is the spiritual idea, the Holy Ghost and Christ, which enables you to demonstrate, with scientific certainty, the rule of healing, based upon its divine Principle, Love, underlying, overlying, and encompassing all true being.
