You are God’s image. Is that what you see when you think about yourself? If not, today is a great time to make the change.
God’s image is grand and glorious. It’s not a physical body that is weighed on a scale. It’s a spiritual being that reflects Life, Truth, and Love.
As God’s image, your identity is spiritual. It’s beautiful, intelligent, wise, mobile, able, flexible, strong, enduring, and healthy.
There isn’t a single thing wrong with God’s image. It’s flawless.
As God’s image, there isn’t a single thing wrong with you.
Identify aright today. Identify with God’s image! What you see and experience will be awe-inspiring.
“God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Gen. 1:27, RSV).
Grateful for a much-needed reminder and grateful for SpiritView! Thank you!!<3

Wow Evan…was just sitting pondering a few erroneous intrusive thoughts this morning , so opened up this beloved SV blog…guess what…you’ve countered the whole lot with all these Spiritual truths and chased away all my clouds of doubt. I am so grateful for all your sharing, or , more accurately caring…
Recently read observation…’ If you feel separated from God…who moved? ‘ Love to all❣️
I love that observation, Barbara – it is a very helpful thing to think about . Thank you for
sharing. Thank you Evan, and everyone for your shared ideas.
Glad it resonated with you Maggie!
When I read it the first time it made me ‘sit up and pay attention !’.
Heaven on earth!
We see what we believe, so let’s see perfection in ourselves and others – God’s children are blessed!
Thank you Evan for stirring thought today
Much love to you Evan and my SV family
Yes thank you for these wonderful words of Truth to ponder as I continue to strive to go forward under not seeming to be the easiest of circumstances and with little or no human help going forward on a brand new journey in uncharted waters and completely unfamiliar part of the country for me!
Grateful for a couple of dear friends who are giving moral and spiritual idea sharing support and encouragement but very grateful for what feels like a supportive family here on SV aa well! Knowing that each decision or task or call or appt can be accomplished with Mind’s directions and gentle guidance step by step and that identifying myself correctly as His perfect idea will uphold and strengthen me along each moment. Thank you all for your kind support of each one here and for feeling like a truly amazing and wonderful family of Loves creating! Thank you all and especially Evan for sharing with all of us today and everyday on SV where we all feel welcome and safe at home always!
Dear Still Learning,
Ah, yes, we are ALL Still Learning. God’s gentle Love will show you the way of what needs to
be done at the right time and divine Mind is with you and with all of us, through out our
journey. Much love to you as you are guided each step of the way.
I am still learning, too, Carol. On the 15th, my 75th Birthday, I planned to launch my book, “Love More,” but could not because my formatter neglected to add an ebook to my book launch – oh, was I annoyed with her!
A moment later, I opened my birthday gift from my daughter, “Illuminated Prayers” by Marianne
Williamson, at random and read, “Dear God, when i perceive my brothers’ faults, please transform my perceptions. May I see only innocence, for that is where You are.
When I am tempted to forget the truth of who my sister is, may I see only innocence, for that is who You are.
When I am tempted to forget that I am only love — may I see only innocence, for that is what You are.
Amen.”
So grateful!!! I followed my own advice and loved more at once! I now only see her as an innocent talent and all is well.
Thank you for sharing that Lisa. I enjoy Marianne Williamson’s ideas. Remember when she was running for President she put forth the idea of having a government Department of Peace.
Best of luck with your book launch! Very inspiring.
Divine metaphysics. It is the fourth dimension,
the sixth sense, the answer without a question,
a history without time, a language without
words, a proof without doubt, a power that
needs no testing. This fourth dimensional world
is the realm of absolute, or ideal perfection.
Ralph Stewart.

Thanks for sharing this M.
Boy, did I need this today! Thank you, Evan
WONDERFUL, EVAN!
Thank you very much dear Evan!
Oh yes, let’s see us as God’s image and act as such. I thought a lot about God’s child, living totally in Spirit. That means also that all former seeming happenings in matter like accidents or other error’s have not a single outcome on our spiritual divine selfhoud. Our spiritual selfhood is untouched by any seemingly material incidents. Wow how comforting!
A dear Christian Scientist talked with me about this Truth. And that made me ponder it these days more deeply. Am grateful we can support us in talking about the Truth with good CS friends!
Am very grateful for SpiritView! ♡
A very needed statement! Thank You Evan

Right When-Right Then, Paul Stark Seeley
Powerful ❣️
Thank you for sharing this article.
Thank you also for sharing this article. Gave me tons of help today. Just what I needed for a second time today. Thanks again.
Uta, I LOVE your statement, “..all former seeming happenings in matter … have not a single outcome on our spiritual divine selfhood.”. Beautifully stated!
Thanks a lot Annette; while I thought about that, it became very clear ♡
Thank you! I needed a boost this morning and this reminder. It’s great for all!
JP – that is a great article encouraging us to deny that anything opposed to good entered our human history that can harass us or cause disease now. Lots of good truths in it to argue against evil or the carnal mind. It conforms with Evan’s words about acknowledging our identity as image. Thanks!
What a wonderful article by Paul Stark Seely. The Truth is always true no matter the article was published in 1958
I should have said Ralph Stewart CSB
How fun to see a quote by Ralph Stewart CSB. He was my parent’s teacher so many years ago in Cleveland, Ohio. Thank you.
Thank you Evan for your loving instruction to identify ourselves spiritually and correctly. In our church manual, page 41, Mary Baker Eddy gives us a daily prayer of true self-identification, “Thy kingdom come;” let the reign of divine Truth, Life, and Love be established in me, and rule out of me all sin: and may Thy Word enrich the affections of all mankind, and govern them!”
To have glimpses of this “kingdom of heaven”,and attain a greater sense of love and affection for all mankind, it is helpful to pray daily to cleanse thought of “sin” (false beliefs),- to renounce the belief that man is made of material substance. To know that the mind that perceives imperfections is not the mind of your real Self. Know that this suppositional mind is an unreal counterfeit mind and none of it’s concepts or conclusions are true. Not one of it’s evil inclinations, fears, diseases, vulnerabilities, accidents or limitations come from God, and the Mind that is God is the only real Mind you have.
In yearning to see more of the kingdom of heaven and my natural dominion over sin, I often expound in prayer the flawless qualities that constitute the nature of Divinity and my true identity. As Evan says, as the image and likeness of God we are “beautiful, intelligent, wise, mobile, able, flexible, strong, enduring, and healthy.” Adding to the list of God’s attributes we express are inspiration, mental clarity, contentment, creativity, purity, poise, abundance, order, and awareness of only good. The list of infinite Mind’s qualities is inexhaustible, and to declare these and hold to them in prayer lifts the material veil to behold limitless reality, where grace is the Law of our being.
Linda you have a beautiful way with words, thank you.
Marrian Williams is very spiritually minded, right thinker, loves God. She just falls short of C,S,. I hope she gets a Science & Health soon. Every child of God needs one, of course. Thank u Evan and all. We are all hopefully LEARNING more each day.
Thanks Evan – I have a claim that I am working with and I really needed to see this today. Thanks so much for posting.
This is spot on. We can know something very well, even deeply, but until there is not one drop of error in our consciousness, we are shown we still believe. it. Something happened to me and once again I couldn’t believe I fell for it again- I let error define me. All the good I do that really God does became human good and subject to error. Hard to explain. I am grateful I have had the opportunity to
know this is all a bad dream.
Nadine, when you said “once again I fell for it” I can relate. Sometimes I get discouraged and think, how long is it going to take me to really KNOW what I know about spiritual reality. But I am seeing through the lies of error quicker than I used to, sounds like you are too. That is progress.
Thank you dear Rose for your kind comments and loving responses to this group. Such lovely qualities of empathy, kindness and compassion shine through your posts. You are a great support and blessing to this SV family. Much love to you.
Thank you dear Linda, I just saw your reply a day later, hope you see it. Your comment here means a lot to me and touched my heart. Much love to you in return!
Thank God for your always rock solid unconditionally clear view of reality ! There’s not a shred of wiggle room in this wonderful post ! Our safety, our perfection , is forever intact ! Forever untouched ! Thank God, thank Mrs. Eddy , and thank Evan Mehlenbacher !
Sandra thank you for your post on the Daily Prayer. It is very clear and mentions all that is covered. I .pray using it every morning.
Thank you Evan for your comments.
