You're just like your Father

The Editors

Think of the beauty of the Bible text read at the closing of each Sunday’s Christian Science church service, which includes, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God” (I John 3:2). Right now, you and I and everyone are God’s own sons and daughters!

Sometimes people see the children of someone especially athletic, beautiful, or smart and say, “Oh, they’re really athletic or beautiful or smart, too, because their dad or mom is.” Although human theories of heredity are counterfeits of divine Truth, the true concept of inheritance is something awesome to contemplate. Think what your heritage is—who your Father is and who your Mother is; it’s God! Now just think what that says about you.

You are beautiful right now because you’re made in the very image of Soul, God. You are blazingly intelligent right now because you’re one of the perfectly formed ideas of divine Mind. Your reliability and integrity are unquestionable and unfailing right now because you come from divine Principle. You are loved, loving, and extremely lovable right now because your sweet connection with divine Love is unbroken for all eternity.
