Being All We Can Be

In the very first book of the Bible is this stupendous statement: "God created man in his own image." Gen. 1:27; What possibilities this implies! All that God has and is, man must possess as His reflection.

We can all learn to stop thinking of ourselves as limited, mortal beings, cut off from satisfaction and success, and begin to see that we are actually inseparable from the source of all good, infinite divine Love.

Intelligence, originality, and ability are qualities continuously imparted by God to His beloved offspring; therefore they are available to all.

Now and always man expresses the fullness of immortal being.
