PUT YOUR SPIRITUAL SHINE ON!

BY MARK SWINNEY

Have you ever seen what a prism does? It separates what appears as just white light into all the colors of a rainbow—from red, orange, green, blue to violet. To me, all those many colors are like the attributes—the spiritual qualities—that God loves to express in you. God is infinite good. And all the goodness and potential already present in God are shining right through you.

People may think that they know you, but no one really knows you like your best friend, God, does. It's God who gave you your origin, so it makes sense that God knows who you truly are. God sees in you His own pure goodness. God made you for the purpose of expressing everything about Him. You actually are the setting for showing God's goodness.

The person who discovered Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, explained that we are "the infinite expression of infinite Mind" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 336). Mind—a name sometimes used for God—is constantly providing you with incredible, varied spiritual qualities to express!
