You are a 100% expression of God

October 13, 2016 | 25 comments

Oftentimes, people who are recovering from a health problem will report their progress in terms of how much further they feel they have to go before completely healed.

For instance, if recovering from a sprain, they might say, “I’m half-way there!” Or, if in the last stages of a cold, “The worst is over.”

I often mention to patients that are measuring their health in partial terms that they are a 100% expression of God.

God’s image never operates at 70% or 90%, I remind them. God’s image is consistently a 100% manifestation of pure spiritual truth. There is no divine allowance for any lesser state.

So, be sure to be thinking of yourself in 100% terms.

As a child of God, the offspring of Spirit, you are a 100% manifestation of Truth.

You are not part bad and part good. You are not a divided house. You are not an assimilation of concord and discord. You are not partially healthy and partially sick. These compromised models are false concepts about God’s man that are to be dropped and replaced with the right idea of God’s man, the truth that God’s man is always operating and functioning at 100%.

So, be metaphysically clear that you are a 100% child of God today. You are not a 60% reflection, nor a 75% reflection, nor a 99% reflection of your Father-Mother. You are a 100% reflection of the one source and creator of all.

You are a 100% expression of God.

  1. Thank you Evan! This made me think of this statement from the book “The First Church of Christ Scientist and Miscellany”, pg 242, by Mary Baker Eddy:

    “Christian Science is absolute; it is neither behind the point of perfection nor advancing towards it; it is at this point and must be practised therefrom. Unless you fully perceive that you are the child of God, hence perfect, you have no Principle to demonstrate and no rule for its demonstration.”

    It also occurred to me that this idea of being 100% the expression of God also applies to the universe, or to state it another way, everything in consciousness. For example, the weather, the U.S. Presidential election, relationships, etc. are all at the point of perfection because everything is governed by God, Principle.

    This also made me think of a Daily Lift from a few years ago by Lindsey Taylor, CSB, in which she explained that God is not a God of “intervention”. He doesn’t allow bad things to happen and then intervene to fix them. He keeps everything right at the point of perfection because everything is an expression of Him.

    Thanks again for these wonderful daily reminders!

    1. Thanks Brian for passing on the Daily Lift understanding that our God is not a God of “intervention” who allows bad things to happen and then – when urged through prayer – will intervene to fix them.

      Our God whom we reflect is 100% pure Truth at all times, which is our potential to express at all time too. God loves his creation.

  2. Thank you Evan..yet another great thought to consider. I know I have sometimes made the comment that “I’m not feeling 100%” …but I WON’T say THAT again!!

  3. 100% That’s just awesome to contemplate! A key point in Christian Science. We are not just working toward perfection but always reflecting perfect God. I love how you explained it in a new fresh way, Evan. Thank you as always for your insight!

    1. Perfect God and perfect man. If God is perfect, then man as his reflection is perfect. Man includes everyone too. :).

  4. A sweeping truth, covering it all: Truth is 100%. Thank you Evan.

    There seems to be a lot, somehow, illogically, in addition to this
    grand fact, somehow piled on top of the truth…the errors of false sense,
    misperceptions, beliefs…all attempting to contradict the absolute truth.
    However, when I recall part of a Bible verse, ”…judgment shall…sweep away the refuge of lies…
    ” I feel comforted, the air is cleared. Truth’s job is to automatically correct error. Seeming contradictions are simply the illusions of a so-called mind that believes in something, anything, apart from the 100% truth.

    And I surely do appreciate your comment, Brian, referring to that foundational statement in “The First Church of Christ Scientist and Miscellany, pg. 242.”

    What a joy to gratefully perceive the absolute true facts of being, and refer to them constantly, to witness Truth’s sweeping!

  5. All that God is Being – I am! Right here. Right now.

    I can happily spend eternity contemplating that. Wow – what a life!

  6. Years ago a man said to me “It’s better to have 70% of something than 100% of nothing”… this thought surely affected my thinking for years… now , of course, in light of the corrective action of Christian Science practices, this is absurd.
    We know now All is Mind, thus making our mental activity of paramount importance…
    As we learn the attributes of God we adorn ourselves with the beautiful robes of Divine Mind, thus elevating our thoughts to inspired Truth which in turn allows us to experience a new level of morality, health, supply, compassion and most importantly we stop trying to generate love ❤️ for Love is what we are, our natural and true state of being…

  7. Again–this is exactly what I needed for today! Thank you, Father, and thank you, Evan, for this inspired message.
