What is the secret of spiritual power?

What do you mean by mourning as one who has no hope?

Is it then all mere talk that Christ brought life and immortality to light? 

Why is it that with the certainty of the continued existence of your loved ones you feel as disconsolate and forlorn as if there were no other world, and as if Christ had never triumphed over death and the grave? 

Why  do you grieve as those who have no hope? 

Hope that you will be able to give to all the whole world an example, not of Christian resignation, which is often only another word for despairing acquiescence, but the gladness and joy unspeakable that is the natural right of those who live in God's love. 

You in your life may reflect His love to all who see you, as a mirror reflects the sun's rays. 

What can I say to convince you? 

You stretch out your hands in the darkness for your dear one who stands close to you, and you feel nothing, and you are disconsolate, and your heart rebels, and you are unbelieving. 

All sorrow is the register of the spiritual thermometer of unbelief.

So far as you disbelieve, so far you lose your power to be the conductor of the love of God to your fellow human. 

The secret of all power to help them is for you to be just the passive instrument in God's hands to teach, to show, to prove what He says. When self―or unbelief comes in, there is weakness and loss of power, and the darkness of material things, which shuts you out from God and His Truth.
