Salient Thought
for the Day
Never destroy your own happiness through impatience and thoughtlessness.
Lines
to Memorize
Now I sing only one song,
The song that Thou hast taught me.
It never grows old to my ear.
Lesson
The same thing can produce both happiness and unhappiness. We can make ourselves so uncontrolled, so unworthy of the blessings that surround us that we are not able to take good opportunities when they come. We gain cheerfulness when we live close to the heart of Truth, because Truth is a light, a glowing spiritual light; and when that light shines, there can be no darkness. Heaven is not a vague, visionary thing. It is something we create within ourselves. We make it out of the exuberance and radiance of our soul.
Prayer
All-abiding Spirit, make Your care and guidance a reality to me.
May the consciousness of Your Presence become so vivid
That I may find all my rest and strength in You alone.
May I walk by Your light only and never turn away to follow darkness.
