Have you ever been concerned about what other people think about you? Have you ever fretted that you were seen in a negative light, perhaps as hard to get along with, lacking intelligence, attractiveness, talent, worth or value? If so, then fret no more, because anytime another is thinking negatively about you, they are not thinking about you. They are entertaining a false concept of you. And a healing response is to counter that untrue view with the right view—the truth about your identity as a child of God!

And the same rule applies to how you think about yourself. If you entertain negative opinions about your own abilities, talents and worth, you are not thinking about yourself either. You are entertaining a lie about your identity in the likeness of God.

You are a child of God! You are filled with immense worth, intelligence, value, talent and capacity for good. And this is a truth you must never forget or doubt.

The carnal mind at large in the world makes it a full-time job to convince people they are not worthy of the spectacular goodness, health and well being God has freely bestowed upon us all. If we believe the suggestions of the Liar, we are liable to walk down a demoralizing path of depressed thinking that makes us feel unworthy and hopeless.

But don’t do it! Come out and be separate from any type of negative thinking. It’s not the truth about you.

You are not a hopeless mortal doomed to struggle with an endless parade of negative claims on your identity. If a thought is not praising your spiritual virtue and goodness, then it is not a thought about you. And it should be summarily dismissed as out of place and not worthy of an audience, especially in your thinking!

You are a child of God. You are God’s likeness. You are special, important, valuable, needed, and wanted. God has created a niche for you to fill, and no evil suggestion can push you aside and prevent you from realizing your spiritual potential.

You are filled with goodness, intelligence, ability, and talent that can make a positive contribution to meeting society’s needs for improvement and progress.

The real you is the spiritual you. As a child of God, there is not a single thing wrong with who you are. And this is the only legitimate view to hold when deciding what is true and not true concerning your individuality and identity.
