God's Representative

JUANITA WILLIAMS GARDNER

Each of us is God's representative. When one comprehends that he truly can represent God, that he has the capability to do this, one begins to ponder what it means, what it entails in daily activity to be in God's employ, and how this representation can come about.

To realize that man reflects the qualities of God, his Maker, might seem a startling idea at first. Speaking of God's immortal man, Mrs. Eddy says, "Man is the expression of God's being."^{Science and Health, p. 470;} Understanding oneself as God's expression, or reflection, what does one do to ratify this relationship, and how does he do it? What does this representation mean?

It is encouraging to realize that whatever our daily human situation or occupation, we can serve God. This involves dedication, care, thoughtfulness, steadfastness, alertness—in a word, consecration.
