It Is The Food Which You Furnish

A Tragic Mistake That Is Often Made Is To Assume That The Will Of God Is Bound To Be Something Very Dull And Uninviting, If Not Positively Unpleasant. Consciously Or Not Some Persons Look Upon God As A Hard Taskmaster, Or A Severe Parent. . . . The Truth Is That The Will Of God For Us Always Means Greater Freedom, Greater Self-expression, Newer And Brighter Experience, Wider Opportunity Of Service To Others-life More Abundant.

You Are Not Happy Because You Are Well. You Are Well Because You Are Happy. You Are Not Depressed Because Trouble Has Come To You, But Trouble Has Come To You Because You Are Depressed. You Can Change Your Thoughts And Feelings, And Then The Outer Things Will Come To Correspond, And Indeed There Is No Other Way Of Working.

The Present Moment Is Never Intolerable. It Is Always What Is Coming In Five Minutes Or Five Days That Makes People Despair. The Law Of Life Is To Live In The Present, And This Applies To Both Time And Place. Keep Your Attention To The Present Moment, And In The Place Where Your Body Is Now. Do A Fair Day's Work, And Then Stop. Overwork Is Not Productive In The Long Run.

There Is No Difficulty That Enough Love Will Not Conquer, No Disease That Enough Love Will Not Heal, No Door That Enough Love Will Not Open, No Gulf That Enough Love Will Not Bridge, No Wall That Enough Love Will Not Throw Down, No Sin That Enough Love Will Not Redeem.

You Must Pray For Yourself Constantly. How Could It Be Otherwise? We Worship God By Believing In Him, Trusting Him, And Loving Him Wholeheartedly - And We Can Attain To That Only Through Prayer. The Sole Object Of Our Being Here Is That We May Grow Like Him - And We Can Do That Only Through Prayer. The More We Pray For Ourselves The More Power Will Our Prayers Have For Any Other Purpose Whatever; So Praying For Ourselves Is The Reverse Of Selfishness - It Is Truly Glorifying God.
