What God Knows I Am
by Florence Roberts
I am the spiritual, perfect and eternal reflection of God! This I understand applies to all people, the world over. Such a one has and deserves all things good since she is the very offspring of the King. If as Christians we take the inspired word of the Bible, then we must know and accept that God is no respecter of persons.
We should always know that man is a child of God: that he is strong, because God is his strength; that he is harmonious, for he is governed by God; that he is lovely, for God is Love and man is that likeness. Then will we be doing as Jesus told us to do. We will, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
From Amy Vorhees’ book, A New Christian Identity, Marietta Webb in 1934 makes perfect sense when in sidestepping the “colored” designation in her Journal listing, insisted that Mrs. Eddy “regarded her as [a] ‘Child of God’ and not as a colored ‘Child of God.’” She added that everywhere “we are made to feel our color,” yet she found Christian Science the basis for “not only learning what the true love of God is,” but “getting out of [the] old prejudiced self, into the spiritual sense of man’s union with God.” At another time, when asked about nationality and color she wrote, “Purely American, Natural color.”
We all must accept, know and understand our true being, as having one Mind, that of Christ and One body. As Jesus said, we are to obey His commandments, and Paul tells us in Galatians 5:22-23 about expressing these qualities; “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control,” (Christian Standard Bible) and realize the peace that one who is the King’s child should have. The ability to see every discord as unreal because impossible, as part of God’s creation, gives us peace and offers the healing from false claims.
We are all worthy. Worthy of God’s great Love. It really does not matter what others think; it matters most to put God first, live as He wants us to, and be willing to accept what God has always known His children to be.
