Turn!

JAYNE MONROE

Picture a field of sunflowers on a crisp fall day—every brown eye turned toward the sun. These are truly flowers of the sun, lifting their faces as though watching its journey across the sky, receiving its warmth and light.

We, too, have a source to turn to for light and warmth: God. The Bible tells us that God said to Moses, "If ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there."  Neh. 1:9;

But how does one go about turning to God? By acknowledging Him as All. By seeing oneself as God's perfect, spiritual child, inseparable from his Maker—not seeing oneself as a sinful mortal, divorced from God and struggling to attain perfection. Realizing the perfection of God and man, Jesus was able to destroy the ailments and faults of those who came to him for healing. He was the Exemplar of the Christ, the idea of Truth, and urged all his followers to accept and apply the truth as he did. He showed people something of their real status as Spirit's perfect reflections.
