What does God know of you?

BETTY L. BOUTILIER

Faced with a dilemma, did you ever react like this: "I just don't know what to think or do"? And then perhaps add with a futile little shrug, "God knows." But what happens if those same words, "God knows," are said with the reverence required by the commandment "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain"?^{Ex. 20:7;} Something wonderful.

This profound little statement "God knows," honestly contemplated, leads inevitably to a question directed right to the heart of divine Love: "What does God know of me right now?"

Mrs. Eddy defines God in the Glossary of Science and Health, the textbook of Christian Science, in this way: "The great I am; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence."^{Science and Health, p. 587;} Contemplating this definition, understanding it in some measure, and prayerfully asking oneself, "What does God know of me?" can heal whatever needs healing.
