God's gifts

God has promised you many gifts.

Joan Emily Beringer

As you listen to Him as Mind,
You may suddenly remember where you put
your shoes and socks.
As you feel God as Spirit,
You won't be afraid when the house is dark, since
God fills all space.
As you express Him as Soul,
You have plenty of joy to share with the friend who
knocked your sand castle over yesterday.
As you obey God as Principle,
You are obedient to Dad's request to take just one piece
of candy when you'd like three.
As you understand God as Life,
You hear the thoughts from God that heal your kitten
when a friend has told you he doesn't look so good.
As you respond to God as Truth,
You will take the money found under a chair to Mom
even though you'd rather keep it.
As you love God as Love,
You have the patience to wait for your little brother
even though you can walk faster.

By learning God's seven names or synonyms and what they mean, you'll discover many more gifts that God has given you. You can find the seven synonyms for God on page 587 of Science and Health. This treasure chest, written by Mary Baker Eddy, tells you about many more of your God-given gifts.
