One night about 15 years ago, I was driving down a very dark, quiet, and lonely road when the thought came to me that I was made in the image and likeness of God.
I knew nothing about Christian Science at that time. I was on my way to a meeting to overcome issues with alcohol, which I attended on a frequent basis. But the thought was so clear; it was as though I was not alone.
The message gave me great peace—it was what I know today to be an “angel message.” At the time, though, I had no idea what that image and likeness was. I just knew that the message gave me peace, and I held on to that. I was raised Catholic and had attended church for many years prior to this experience, but had never thought much about the concept of God’s image and likeness. My self-image at the time was not very good, so it was hard to believe that I was made in God’s likeness. I loved God, but did not think that He loved me very much.
