All are winners

In God, this poem conveys, there are no winners and losers – we’re all divinely equipped with the innate grace, strength, and goodness we need to thrive.

What does it mean to win
     in God’s kingdom,
     filled with all blessedness?

What can it mean to say
     “we lost”
     when God is Love
     and Love is All?

God’s children,
     that’s who we are.
     What we need,
God gives.
     We needn’t look outside of Love.
          We needn’t seek a better life
          than where we truly are.
     We live in God’s kingdom –
          wholly spiritual.

Abundance is the name
     of God’s game,
          where every player
          receives a just reward.

Divine Principle redeems
     a thought of lack,
     and God’s sweet grace
          wipes clean away
     all we see as losses.

For each one of us,
     our true nature
          reflects our God completely.
     Ideas of Mind divine,
          equally we see Spirit’s light,
          equally we know Truth as power.
     Equally we win the hour.

All are winners in God’s house,
     Each of us God-created man –
          reflecting Mind,
     expressing Love,
heart fixed on God’s plan.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
