If you’re ever feeling tired and worn out, it might be a great metaphysical opportunity to see yourself from a higher spiritual point of view.
As a child of God, you reflect God. You are a spiritual reflection of God’s perfection.
A reflection never tires. And you will never tire of being God’s reflection!
This is just what I needed today, I am caring for a terminal ill relative at the moment , and with the caring and lack of sleep, This is just the thought I needed. thank you.
Praying with you, Graham. Bless you in your caring.
Thank you, Angela .
This is wonderful dear Evan! It made me think of something I learned in Christian Science Class instruction – we need to make the general rules specific and apply them to ourselves and to daily identify with all 7 synonyms of God. .So, applying your helpful post:
“If I am ever feeling tired and worn out, it is a great metaphysical opportunity to see myself from a higher spiritual point of view!
As a child of God, I reflect God/Love/Life/Principle/Truth/Soul/Mind/Spirit. I am a spiritual reflection of God’s perfection/Love’s perfection/Life’s perfection/Principle’s perfection/Truth’s perfection/Soul’s perfection/Mind’s perfection/Spirit’s perfection!
A reflection never tires. And I will never tire of being God’s reflection!
And this is true for EVERYONE of God’s ideas! Yay and wow!
Thank you Sharon! that’s the perfect Truth you describe! With that Truth, one can work and pray for oneself!
Thank you Evan! I also need this Truth, wonderful!
What a lovely treatment , Sharon – thank you so much . And thank you Evan for bringing that energising idea to thought .
Thank you Sharon,
I had to write it down. This blog is the perfect treatment…
While thinking of a friend who yesterday was telling me how tired she was all the time. This helps me to clear my thought about her and to erase any possibility of aging about either of us. Thanks Evan for this blog. Love to all.
Whenever I am tired I apply this truth from Science and Health—
Let us feel the divine energy of Spirit, bringing us into newness of life and recognizing no mortal nor material power as able to destroy.
Let us rejoice that we are subject to the divine “powers that be.” Such is the true Science of being.
249:6
Yes Murphy: I too love drawing on the divine energy of Spirit that is infinite and never runs out, never my own energy or dependent on bodily abilities, knowing too that God rests in action. I find that i take less naps and feel inexhaustible. I also know that the divine energy is impartial and universal, blessing all.
There are some lovely thoughts here to hold to , thank you.
Thank you Evan. Thank you everyone for sharing your great ideas. Have a Wonderful Day !
Thank you for your insight, Evan.
And for the accompanying picture. I was thinking about plants sprouting below ground, working their way past rocks, dirt, even ice without losing the energy or ability to bloom and feast on sunlight.
The love shared here is so comforting. Dear Marian, I love the analogy of the plants
emerging into being, even though they can not be seen. I have some lilies in containers
doing that right now. They are reaching for the sunlight and have just poked their noses
out of the soil and every day become taller and taller. Like we, reaching for spirituality –
we grow in our understanding, reaching for the Love and energy provided by God,
like a flower toward the sun. The wind may be fierce, the cold may try to keep them
from persisting, but they still come out of dormancy and reach for the heavens …
the atmosphere of Soul/Spirit/Truth/Principle/Mind/Life and Love. Heaven is here now.
Dear Graham … it is lovely to know that you and your loved one are in the care of
divine Love and the energy you need is with you always.
Lovely.
a glorious thought. I will never be tired of being God’s reflection. thanks Evan and everyone

I like thinking as I go about full days that what the Lord tells Moses in the Bible is true for each one of us too. The quote is “And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
(Exodus 33:14)
A phrase from hymn 65 often comes to my rescue: “…From strength to strength we go….”
Not from strength to weakness or weariness after a long day, but to continuing strength, resilience and energy as divine Mind’s perfect reflection. Thank you, Evan and all for your inspiration this morning.
I sometimes find myself grumbling to myself that what I used to do so
easily seems to be more difficult these days, be it dragging bags of bird seed,
dog food, potting soil, mulch, etc. But then I think of where true energy comes
from … our Creator of all things Good and the tasks seem lighter. Each step is
for a labor of love for the sweet birds, the dear dogs, for wildlife or for the
beauty of flowers and that helps with Love’s strength. I find Evan’s wording
above helpful, ” A reflection never tires. And you will never tire of being God’s
reflection”. That is a beautiful thought, as are all of the others expressed here.
Thanks Evan and others – just the thoughts I need. Always tired and not so long ago had so much energy. Where’s it gone I ask myself?
I love this work and will be doing it and have been really all my life. Truth means more to me everyday as I learn something new about God’s love for mankind so there is so much to gain and I’m so grateful to be a practicing Christian scientist! Thank u to Evan and all.
“Timeless, tireless being” by Charlene Anne Miller. From the September 14, 2021 issue of A Christian Science Perspective, from the Christian Science Monitor:

Thank you, J, for this CS Perspective column from The Monitor. It was adapted from a CS Sentinel article (August 30, 2021), link below. The writer states: “As God‘s spiritual creation, we are not governed by calendars or clocks, milestones or deadlines, but by the divine law of limitless, eternally unfolding good.” It’s a law of God!

Thank you for Cheryl for adding the link!
This is an excellent article – I loved how she points out how we need to handle apathy – as with many challenges , the answer is right there but sometimes we need to arouse ourselves from that apathy which is the Adam dream of material sense .
“ I am certain that the spiritual truths in the Bible Lesson I had just finished studying cut through apathy and woke me up. This was the effect of the Christ—“the true idea voicing good, the divine message from God to men speaking to the human consciousness” (Mary Baker Eddy, “
Dear Evan, thank you for the encouragement: “A reflection never tires. And you will never tire of being God’s reflection!” I also love the picture and enjoyed the loveliness of what Marian and Carol shared that I also appreciate and never get tired of watching happen..
Sharon, thank you for sharing what you learned in Class. “we need to make the general rules specific and apply them to ourselves and to daily identify with all 7 synonyms of God.” Being a reflection of all seven synonyms would make each day more beautiful and less tiring.
Gook work, Graham and all others who shared. It is special to be of service to God in the myriad ways He expresses His being. As sit says in the Lesson this week in Job: “stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.”
