You are more than you think

October 31, 2012 | 5 comments

Have you ever felt inadequate?

Have you ever felt lacking in skills, talents or abilities?

Do you ever feel like a 70% person instead of a 100% being?
You don’t need to anymore! God made you complete, fully endowed with all the faculties and abilities of divine Mind that enable you to experience the best Life has to offer.
But these capacities and abilities are not always obvious, especially from a material or physical point of view.
It’s like God telling Moses to go free the Israelites from Pharaoh’s bondage. Moses didn’t think he could do it. He felt inadequate and ineloquent, unable to respond quickly to the inevitable pressure and demands Pharaoh would put on him. But God assured Moses that divine power would be with him to fill his mouth with the right words and conviction with the right actions. And so it was.
Moses was able to do a whole lot more than he ever dreamed possible! He delivered a nation of people from impoverishing servitude.
You, too, are endowed with immense capacities and abilities you haven’t realized yet. They are capacities of divine Mind, and you avail yourself of them through humble recognition that God is the power and capacity behind everything you do.
Mary Baker Eddy wrote,

“Being possesses its qualities before they are perceived humanly”  (Science and Health 247:19).

 

Think on this.
Your being, which is wholly spiritual, possesses qualities, capacities and abilities you haven’t discovered yet, or maybe have barely glimpsed. Like getting a new powerful computer, turning it on and performing a few simple tasks. “Wow!” you exclaim. “What fun this new powerful fast-operating computer is going to be.” But you haven’t even begun to discover what it can do. It just gets better and better as you learn more about its programs and functions.
So, think beyond what you presently believe yourself capable of doing, and learn more about what God has designed you to do. It’s unlimited! You are unlimited.

  1. This is helpful. My job has become more and more demanding. The requirements at time seem onerous. It is good to know that God has given me the power and capacity to fulfill what is expected of me.

  2. It is interesting, Evan, and I am grateful for this Blog of yours. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and didn’t think I could ever compete in the so- called normal world. Two things I wanted to do. One was to become a Photographer and the other to become a Writer. The first I accomplished with incorridgment from my parents, and the second was after I became a student of C/S. I love what the Mother Church did when computers and I-pads came out. All these Web Sites that incorridges writing comments. I finally became a writer.

  3. When I taught young children in Sunday School, I would tell them that if someone put a label on a jar of strawberry jam that said pickles, it wouldn’t be true. When the jar is opened, it is still really strawberry jam, and the wrong label couldn’t change what it really was. Not ever. Love to all.

  4. This is great Evan and I am still on the discovery of what else I am that I haven’t experience yet.

    I could correlate to what you said about learning how to use a new computer. It is amazing that Mind just led me to discover step by step how to use each feature as needed. I enjoyed, I was so amazed.
