One of our review topics for today includes the words "I am as God created me." I would be willing to bet that if you asked 100 people what that sentence means, you would get quite a few different answers. It's also a pretty good bet that many of those answers would be influenced in varying degrees by the Adam and Eve story or some other matter-based creation myth. In the spiritual creation story given us in the first chapter of Genesis, God made us in Its image. In the third chapter, there is another story entirely, one in which we are made from dirt and don't advance very far from that sorry beginning. As we learn more about our spiritual self as the expression of God, we realize we have far more choices than we have been taught. As powerful spiritual beings, we are not the victim of fate and circumstance, but are masters of the universe, because we are one with it and it with us!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"Keep in mind the verity of being, — that man is the image and likeness of God, in whom all being is painless and permanent. Remember that man’s perfection is real and unimpeachable, whereas imperfection is blameworthy, unreal, and is not brought about by divine Love."
