VERSATILITY

MIRIAM BECKHOFF DAMSGAARD

History has furnished many examples of illustrious men and women who possessed an unusual degree of versatility. The word "versatile" means "manysided; turning with ease from one thing to another." Through usage it has come to stand for an unusual range of capacity and talent, varied accomplishment. It is often thought of as a gift with which relatively few are endowed.

Christian Science reveals that the man of God's creating is spiritual, perfectly expressing Him. Man can never be separated from Soul, the source of all beauty, order, and harmony. Man, the image and likeness of God, is complete and includes every Godlike quality.

As our understanding of man's relationship to God grows clearer, we manifest increased capacity and a larger scope of activity in our human experience. It becomes natural to do well in every undertaking. Thus we prove by the variety and quality of our accomplishment that genuine versatility is not a special endowment, but the result of spiritual understanding and demonstration.
