BEVERLY JEAN McCREARY

God, divine and all-encompassing Love, loves man so much, so constantly, so perfectly, that no words even hint at the grandeur of you. God's love is unlimited. There has never been a moment that was not filled with God's loving goodness. This means you have actually never seen, felt, or known anything but perfect love. You are not mortal. You are immortal.

Do you believe God loves someone more than He loves you? Then you need to be sure that God, immortal Mind, is impartial. It's belief in a mind separate from Him—mortal mind—that suggests injustice. We don't have to believe lies about God and man. God is Truth. We do have to believe and understand and love Truth. In the Bible we find, "Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Rom. 12:2; You can be transformed and renewed. You can prove God's will, and you can start proving it now. God is your Mind. He's the only Mind that has ever been, and as His expression you reflect His intelligence and wisdom.

But what about the doubts, fears, question marks in human life? If God did not create them, they cannot be true. You do not need to suffer or be afraid. As your thoughts move close to God, you will see evil as a lie; you will feel God's care for you. Mrs. Eddy, a woman who learned this grand love of God, writes in Science and Health: "God expresses in man the infinite idea forever developing itself, broadening and rising higher and higher from a boundless basis. Mind manifests all that exists in the infinitude of Truth. We know no more of man as the true divine image and likeness, than we know of God." Science and Health, p. 258; As you get to know God, you'll know your real self better. And you will love who you are.
