Divine Mind—the infinite powerhouse
Unlimited Energy
Unlimited energy! Performance without drag! New vistas of strength, endurance, accomplishment! Impossible? Not if we are looking to the right source—God and His infinite ideas. The Bible states: "God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places." II Sam. 22:33, 34;
But just how can this be applied to present needs? Part of the answer is gained through a better understanding of what energy really is. Christian Science shows us that true energy is the unlimited spiritual power of God and that its presence is revealed to us as we learn more of the divine nature. God is infinite Soul, Spirit, Principle, Mind, Life, Love, and Truth. These terms are not separate from each other. All point to an infinite powerhouse of good. The divine Mind, which is the source of exhaustless right ideas, is also the Love that forever supplies tenderness and understanding. Spirit, the unfailing fount of vitality and buoyancy, is inseparable from the purity, beauty, and joy of Soul. The same God that is Principle, that controls, regulates, and perpetuates perfect functioning, is Truth, man's eternal Life. No demand can ever be too great, no requirement too exacting, for God and His unlimited energy.
Everyone, no matter what his background, environment, or educational opportunity, has a divine right to express energy—to reflect in a unique and indispensable way the unlimited resources of Almighty God. Reflecting God is man's sole occupation. And just as God's nature can never be confined or limited, so man, His spiritual reflection, is incapable of being pigeonholed, placed in a rut, restricted to finite talents and abilities that would make existence boring and mundane. The strength of our expression, our ability to function, our capacity for doing, is never the victim of circumstances, germs, or genes. Knowing we reflect God, we can turn to Him and get the job done; we can feel and experience new vistas of energy and meet the challenges of today.
