YOU CAN'T GET OUTSIDE OF GOD

BY CHARLES FERRIS

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.—Acts 17:28 

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE is helping me understand more of what it means to live in God and to feel the power of that status. I'm learning that God is not some outsized human being or a projection of the human mind. He is infinite Love, the source of all the love we feel and express.

This infinite Love is the one supreme consciousness, or perfect Mind, the producer of every intelligent idea, giving us our awareness and existence. We don't create God. Our Maker creates us. And we can't be anything other than what corresponds to His nature, made in His image.
