Your wishes and aspirations set into motion a mighty force.

By your wishes and your aspirations, you are setting into motion a mighty force.

You are sowing in the Spirit.

The world's view and the construction put upon the outward and visible—these do not matter; these are the things which pass away. You are sowing in the Spirit, and in the Spirit, the harvest is glorious indeed.

A message to those who have started to climb.

To those who have started to climb with a thin and weak staff to help them—because, within yourself, the spiritual longing is so great, as you go on you will see that by the miracle of God's Love, that which was weak is made strong—that which needed support will support you and others as well.

What controls, uplifts and directs your little craft of life?

The mighty, controlling, uplifting, directing force of faith is so charged with power—and it may seem that you wander alone on an unknown sea, guided by no compass but that of a wavering faith—yet because even that wavering faith is there, so the little craft of your life goes on its journey and finds God's harbour at last.

Faith is precious.

Faith is precious; faith has such power that, of necessity, it must be worked for, if it is to be made your own.

Faith is a strong staff.

Faith is a strong staff—a staff which grows. It may be just a tiny reed in the beginning; something you would protect, something you dare not lean upon for fear it should snap. Yet it can mature; it can grow so strong that the whole weight of your physical life can rest upon it. But that staff can only grow by experience, only by testing its strength, only by patience and concentration. Yet, in the end, you have got that which can take you out of the valley up the steep hillside, over rocks and boulders, over deep ravines—safe into the Father's Home.

Only Spirit can help Spirit.

Only Spirit can help Spirit; only that which is of God can take you to God.

See the Spirit at work.

Get beneath the surface; see the Spirit at work and know that God is your Father, tending, caring, supporting and guiding you.

Unanswered prayers?

Such a thing never has been and never could be. Even your faintest desire reaches the Mind of Love; even those thoughts, which are half of the world and half of the Spirit find a response in the One who understands us best—and never has one remained unanswered.

God is the centre of your existence.

As on a circle, so the journey goes, but God is not at the beginning and at the end only. As you have been told, God is the centre of your existence, and though you travel—it seems to you—far, far from Him, yet at no time are you farther from Him than another because God is the centre of your life, and you cannot get away—you cannot separate yourself from that which you came.

Are you at the mercy of circumstances?

The path you have chosen is the best; best not only spiritually but best also so far as physical happiness is concerned. The spirit which has once listened to the Voice of the Father-Spirit is only hindered and made wretched if it heeds the voice of the world; if it lingers by the way; if the vitality of the body is wasted by vain regrets or for the fleeting things, which must pass away.

Live for Christ.

Live for Christ—live and demonstrate your love for Him.

To live for Christ is the test. Live a life, which expresses something of the Christ Ideal. Turn your thoughts from the dramatic to the prosaic to influence you to see things as they are—the life of work, of laying aside self in its many deceptive forms, the life of effort and of consecration is indeed the Christ life.

Think of the power of the spirit.

Think of the power of the Spirit; the power of the Name of Christ; the power of the protecting care of The Father. In the simple narrative, which His disciples, those who loved Him, put together with much care and thought—in that simple narrative, you have all you require to reach the highest—

Let not your hearts be troubled for I will send you a Comforter (John 14:16).

Those words ring out again and again—I will send you a Comforter—the Comforter which will give you all knowledge, all joy, all peace.

Gather to you that which is so freely offered and thank God that as his child, you can come, you can ask, and you can receive.

Keep this thought fixed firmly in your mind—humility, simplicity, faith and trust in God.

Live for Christ—live and demonstrate your love for Him.

Let this curb your judgment.

Let this curb your judgment—remember that the deep decision of the spirit is responsible for the environment in which each one is placed.

Therefore, do not judge when the forces of evil sometimes overcome those whose lives are sordid and free from joy, those who are hemmed in by the many horrors of physical life, and those who walk side by side with poverty and with care. Do not judge these because in time to come you will see that all the while they were Christ's friends and He calls them thus.

The inheritance is there—you come from Him and nothing which emanated from that which is all-Power, all-Thought, all-Love—nothing which emanated from the Source of Holiness can do aught but return to its Source at last.

Compassion for all, understanding for all, as far as may be, helping by prayer and thought and action. This is the gospel of Christ; this is the truth He taught; this is what He waits for those who love Him to adopt.

God's Love is everywhere where you tread.

Be of good heart, for God has ordained that the brightness will come, that the shadows will disperse and that you will come into your own kingdom prepared by His loving Hands.

Turn your thoughts from the unrealities.

The time is getting close, when you will, for a few brief seconds, turn from the world of sense to the world of spirit—turn your thoughts from the unrealities of that which you have built up around yourself to the reality, the permanency of the life, which goes on forever.

Keep close to better things.

Keep close to better things; hold on to Christ, and be certain that within you, there is that strength if only you will to keep in close contact with the Father.

O God, help me to make ready, for the great work, which lies in front. Amen

Holy communion with the Saviour Christ is possible.

Holy communion with the Saviour Christ is possible—is entreated by Him—every second of your physical life.

Aldrin photographed this bootprint about an hour into their lunar extra-vehicular activity on 20 July 1969, as part of investigations into the soil mechanics of the lunar surface. This photo would later become synonymous with humankind's venture into space.

Could you only see the Truth!

If you could once see the gift within your own grasp, then you would realise that communion with God was not reserved for any time, any season, any place, any condition; holy communion with the Saviour Christ is possible—is entreated by Him—every second of your physical life.

The Blue Marble is a famous photograph of the Earth taken on 7 December 1972 by the crew of the Apollo 17 spacecraft en route to the Moon at a distance of about 29,000 kilometres (or 18,000 miles). It shows Africa, Antarctica and the Arabian Peninsula.

Here is a grave warning for all.

Here is a grave warning for all.

Christ recreated the likeness of God so that you should have a truer vision of what was in the Father's heart and mind.

Yet there are so many today whoall unconsciously to themselvesare showing God in a guise, which is utterly unGodlike in its essentials.

You forget your heritage, forget to whom you belong; and because of this, so the evil has worked—and so the evil is working—to build up even a forest to shut you off from the Holy Presence of your God.

Think on this subject; send out your prayers and thoughts. This opportunity is not only God-directed, it is literally God-given—one more chance to get back the gift. As you know, that chance is given with every hour, with every minute of your life—the chance to get back into close contact with your Father God.

Oh, for a closer walk with God!

Oh, for a closer walk with God!—

Let this thought echo through your mindbecause the desire is there, you will feel that you are being drawn closer and closer to that which is Love Divine.
