Man's Work Is of God's Giving

JAMES MOOREHOUSE

God makes man to express Him. The real man is the uninterrupted, perfect, and complete manifestation, or expression, of God, and hence man possesses nothing underived from God. Since God is omniactive, all action. man expresses, by reflection, the ceaseless, frictionless activity of Mind. Thus, man's activity is divinely established in Mind, authorized by Truth, and sustained by Principle.

True work might be thought of as divine activity; as Love-impelled action. Human labor is often the toil of mortal effort, the drudgery of human will, "the sweat of the brow," the mortal penalty for partaking of the fruit of materiality. Righteous work is the unlabored motion of divine Mind resting in action.

God, Spirit, is self-existent; hence, man, being the radiant reflection of pure Spirit, is not dependent upon matter, or so-called laws of materiality, beliefs of human personality or the chicanery of mortal mind. The one creator maintains, sustains, supports, and preserves His creation, man and the universe. Every right idea contains all that is necessary for its continuing completeness and fulfillment of God's purpose. Nothing can be added to this verity, nor can anything be taken from the absolute perfection of the infinite All-in-all!
