Applying the Divine Attributes in Healing

ALFRED MARSHALL VAUGHN

Man is made in the image and likeness of God. As we gain a clearer understanding of God and see that man really reflects all that is in and of the one glorious God, we are alert to attribute to man only what we attribute to God.

Early in my interest in Christian Science, I received a physical healing from the study of Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy. I was beginning to prove that whatever I perceived of God could be claimed for man—for me—as God's reflection.

When first I glimpsed something of God as the perfect Mind, the Mind which is Spirit, Love, Soul, I rejoiced in the fact that in my real being I was that perfect man who reflects the qualities of perfect Mind. As I realized that Mind is Love, I found that it was my nature to express gentleness, affection, and other attributes of Love. As I thought of Mind as substance, Life, the Soul of all, it dawned upon me that everything is really mental; that man reflects Life, Soul, in perfect spiritual sight, perfect hearing, in vitality, strength, and energy. Everything that goes to make up well-being is an attribute of God.
