Why wait? Agree with God now

BEVERLY MILGRAM BOWLES

God, the universal, eternal Father-Mother, knows you as His beloved child. Purity and perfection are all He knows of you; and this is all there is to know of the real you. Now is a good time to agree gratefully with God that you are just exactly what He causes you to be.

God made man—you—to express His own perfection and nothing else. This is the very reason, the only reason, for your existence. To agree with God means to accept the spiritual facts, which Christian Science explains. These facts are the outcome of God's own nature. What are some of them?

God's creation is absolutely spiritual and harmonious. Our real identity, being included in this creation, is therefore maintained by the strength of God Himself. Man is spiritual idea, existing eternally in Mind, another name for God. Man's absolute spirituality further implies that man is not material in any way and is therefore not the prisoner of matter-based rules, opinions, or so-called laws.
