In the light of God, our true identity as God’s beloved child is never hidden, but is instead revealed as good, wise, joyful, loved, and loving. This is because God’s children reflect Him. God is infinitely wise, limitless Love; therefore, His government is wise and loving. Our first featured piece shows how, when we hold this and other truths of God in our hearts, we can respond to what may feel like overwhelming news and events with confidence in divine Love’s care and our ability to see progress. We can realize these truths, as the second featured piece points out, when we accept Love’s gift of spiritual sight. And we can feel embraced in Love ourselves. Our third feature stresses God’s eternal love for us. Whatever issues we’re facing, we can turn to Love to find health and peace.
