Do you ever feel like you’re not up to the task of the moment? Perhaps you’re lacking confidence that you can successfully follow through with an important project or reach a desirable goal?
If so, take heart. You are not alone. God is with you. With God’s help, you can follow through with successful results.
You are more capable than you realize!
As a child of God, you are endowed with infinite capacities and abilities. There is no limit to how much wisdom you can receive from God and act on. There is no limit to how much love and care you can feel from God and in turn, show others. There is no limit on how much of Soul’s creativity you can express.
There are no limits on you. None!!
Mary Baker Eddy writes, “We are all capable of more than we do” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 89). This may feel like cold water splashed on your metaphorical face, but it’s an accurate statement. The human ego often feels limited and unworthy, but in Christian Science, one walks away from the human ego and reflects the divine Ego. God can do anything!
As God’s reflection, you can do anything too.
You are capable!
Thank you Evan, that is so relevant to me today!
I will ponder it all day. X
Thank you Evan. Of my own self I can do nothing. But with God all things are possible.,
Rise in the strength of Spirit to resist all that is unlike good. God has made man capable of this and nothing can vitiate the ability and power divinely bestowed on man. Science and Health p

Thank you Evan. I really needed to hear this today. Things have been a struggle lately. I will work with these pearls of wisdom and rejoice.

Lots of love to you, Dear Diane. “Trials are proofs of God’s care” – Mrs. Eddy.
A big hug !
Love this Evan, thank you!❣️
The thing we can do is keep silent, as the message from God told Habakkuk in this week’s Golden Text. Why? Because God’s grace is continuously radiating through us as today’s beautiful picture illustrates. Jesus said he could do nothing of himself—only what he saw God do. In Science and Health, Mary Baker Eddy instructs us to Pause……wait on God. Then, listening, let His word fill us up.
A family member treated me badly as I was trying to help. I felt hurt at the unfairness. I didn’t like feeling I had lost my joy and peace. It seemed that this person had taken them from me, and anger started to come in. I paused, prayed “show me the right way Lord.” All these “earthly thoughts” or thoughts that God is separate and off somewhere, had to “keep silence before him” because He IS here. He is in His holy temple, or infinite consciousness. These irritable thoughts were coming to me, and to my family member, but were not actually IN us. God was loving us, we are His holy temple—the only Mind’s reflection. He would keep silent before Him any proud thought that said it could control man, because it would have to control God first. God loved us. I was ready to see these earthly thoughts as suggestions that there was more than one God. But there’s not. So these thoughts coming to us were powerless and unreal. All this understanding was in me from God. I let Him tell me, so I FELT it. He told me hurt and anger were not in me or the other one because His divine Love was radiating in us (as in the picture above) and they evaporated. Perfectly normal evening of peace and joy.
Outstanding Kay! Thank you for sharing, You brought this week’s Bible lesson alive for me with new inspiration!!! What a great response and demonstration!
Thank you, Evan. I appreciate so much your daily comments!
God’s dear gift to mankind: our dedicated Christian Practitioners…practicing the perfect SCIENCE of the ever-present divine truth of being! How indebted we are to them all!
Thank You, divine Love, for this provision, meeting the human need right where it is.
Now, that’s LOVE!
How grateful we all are, this beautiful SpiritView family!
Thank you so much for this message of encouragement! We are in the middle of a big move and it seems overwhelming! This message was exactly what I needed to get back on track and not give in to discouragement! Thank you for this most timely message!
I just walked away from a challenge that was no longer acceptable. In the thick of it, (I’d just been explosively, verbally attacked by my employer). My head was spinning with confusion. I thought “What the?!? What is happening?!?”
God was instanrly telling the storm trying to churn in my thought “Peace. Be still.” I asked God “What do I need to know here right now?” and then a song came on the radio (I hadn’t turned on or tuned the radio station it was the other’s car.) the song was “TNT” by AC/DC, I didn’t think much of it and only could make out the explosively sung words ” ’cause I’m TNT!!!!”
The next song was “Sweet Child of Mine” by Guns n Roses. I chuckled because the challenge was seated beside me and instantly I’d understood this about myself, loud and clear “You ARE capable! You deserve respect!!! You will no longer subject yourself to this abuse!” I then thoughtfully and quietly expressed my appreciation to God for having offered me this challenging experience in order to grow. A calm washed over me. My 45 minute drive with the attacker was quiet and peaceful. The other person, However, remained angry the entire way.
I had no idea I’d be shown clearly how precious I was!
I have finally learned the meaning of “As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly” (Proverbs 26:11).
A foolish person repeatedly returns to their destructive habits or sins, failing to learn from the painful consequences they already suffered. I realized I’d been caring for others as a way of extracting validation rather than for the love of God. I’d been too agreeable, wishy-washy, and too eager to please others. In return rather than appreciation or gratitude, which I found I’d been seeking, I was offered contempt, disregard and disrespect. I couldn’t understand, for yeeears, why people treated me that way.
Now, after having had the same human experience over and over and over, I finally know my worth as a child of God. I need no validation. I truly am about my Father’s business and only He can fulfill my needs. When I remain receptive to His guidance, I am indeed capable. I am capable because I am not moved by mortal mind. I am capable because I am a daughter of a Loving God. I Am capable!!!
this is a wonderful and timely message of God’s immediate presence and all-in all power governing our lives in every moment always. your message most surely helped me recognize, reject, replace and rejoice through a frantic situation only an hour ago, and Im so truly geateful. Thank you so very much!!!
