When we think man is a creator, we think that man is responsible for creating health; he or she must have perfect genetics to make up the perfect child. Man has to maintain and sustain himself through a job, money, right connections, exercise, healthy eating, and at the same time try to fulfill his own hopes and dreams.
This is a lot of stress on man. And it has side-effects such as stubbornness, human will, manipulation, deceit, as well as selfishness, competition, and fear.
Fortunately, this picture is not accurate.
Spirit, God created man, perfect in His own image and likeness. Man has all the qualities and characteristics to do and achieve that which he needs. They are including in his being. All of his hopes and aspirations are given to him by God and therefore fulfilled and satisfied through Him. God blesses his children with beautiful relationships that are loving, kind, and caring. God supplies all of man’s needs and wants because man’s purpose is to glorify and express God (Life, Truth, Love). Man’s sufficiency comes from God.
“Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;”[i]
All beauty, fruitfulness and plenty come from God and are the attributes of His government. There is no lack or limitation to the infinite, supreme, all good, God.
“And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.”[ii]
When we are conscious of this Truth, we are governed by divine Mind. We hear God’s direction and are one with God’s thoughts, which are always good, lovely, assuring angel messages. We are governed obediently, following and yielding to the divine will, which includes and blesses all with infinite intelligence.
“Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.”[iii]
So we can be reassured and rest in God’s love. We can yield to this spiritual sense of things, which is telling us this truth each moment, uplifting and blessing us.
And we can make more space for God, Spirit, in our lives. God, good, is already governing and controlling things. Our duty is to be conscious and aware of this. This takes daily prayer to quiet the limited human sense of things for the spiritual and true sense of what God sees and knows. As we yield to this we will be governed by divine Mind and we will experience the fruits of this government in our lives. This includes more consistent health, a greater sense of energy and purpose, better family relationships, a more stable structure, and abundant supply that comes with ease.
Spirit, which is infinite intelligence, governs all things perfectly and It’s reign is here and now. Let’s yield to this in our thought and feel the blessings that are included for all mankind.
