DO YOU APPRECIATE YOURSELF?

BY SHIRLEY HOLDMAN

PEOPLE MAY OFTEN perceive themselves from their own individual, and sometimes limited concepts. But I've learned that when we love ourselves as God's confident and beautiful creation, we always can find inspiring possibilities and true identity. Studying the Bible and Science and Health has enabled me to see God's promises given to humanity, and understand how we are maintained and nurtured by divine Love.

All of God's creations express Mind, and convey and prove Love's purpose. In the Bible St. Paul says that we are the "temple of the living God" (II Cor. 6:16). Yes! But how good to know that we are not an empty vessel, like a container that is to be filled with humanly outlined and originated qualities, or a "temple" filled with divine potential that is never seen outside its doors.

Each one of us has Principle's unfoldment of divine purpose. God has imbued all His creations with this consistent, holy blessing. Appreciating and loving the unlimited potential given to us by God is not an ego trip.
