As We Think

BY ANNIE JESSEN.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.—Proverbs, 23:7.

The meaning of the above text became clear to me a few days ago. It had bothered me ever since I began studying Christian Science. It seemed to give the impression that it said if we think ourselves good, or great, or wise, we would then be so, and I suppose we all have had the experience of meeting people who were so satisfied with their own goodness, or greatness, or wisdom, that they could see nothing else, reminding us of what Paul said to the Galatians, "If a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself."
