What is the Kingdom of God likened to?

In no instance will you find that the Kingdom of God is described as a place. Using various similes, it is likened unto this and unto that—a condition is described—a mental and a physical condition—and anything, which could be termed a place is rigidly excluded.

What is the feeling of faith?

Those who find the definite feeling of faith, missing in their minds can by steadying the will and concentrating on work for God, not only bring back that faith into their lives, but a faith so strong, so dominant, that that which represents feeling fades away never to return again.

Is having a baby a spiritual experience?

Those who are soon to be mothers are often vaguely conscious of the souls they harbour. 

Even when they do not grasp the full significance of the miracle that is being performed through them, they have strange dreams and visions, which are mostly glimpses into the past incarnations of the unborn child. They see dream countries where the entity within has dwelt in the past—they feel desires, which they cannot explain, reflected desires, which are merely the latent yearnings of the unborn one—they experience groundless fear, which are its former dreads and terrors. The mother, who nourishes a truly great soul during this period of formation may herself grow spiritually beyond her own unaided possibility—while the mother of an unborn criminal often develops strange perversities, quite unlike her normal state of mind.

If a woman were sufficiently intelligent and informed, she could judge from her own feelings and ideas what sort of soul was to be her child some day and prepare to guide it accordingly.

What is a powerful thankful prayer?

A prayer for a thankful heart—

Father, I thank Thee for all Thy many good gifts and protection. Father, I thank Thee, again and again.

Be guided by the example of Jesus.

Be guided by the example of Jesus.

He came to overcome enmity by love.

There is no end.

There is no end.  

There is no beginning.  

There is only the infinite passion of life.

―Frederico Fellini

I can feel the seed in my hair now!

I can feel the seed in my hair now!

I shall make it a study for a future life.

It is the serene and quiet spots and people who are the anchors for those who must toss and struggle in the thick of things.

Not so with Him.

So little did his ethereal body blind the sense of spirit that He could converse with the angels, as one of their own order, who was cognisant of their life and remembered his own part in it before incarnation.

Who bears up to the Master the tale of your earth-life?

It must always be remembered that you are not left entirely alone in your pilgrimage on the earth.

Your soul has one special protecting spirit always with you who knows and sees all your actions and thoughts and words and who bears up to the Master the tale of your life on earth.

When hate rests, love comes into its own.

When hate rests, love comes into its own. 

When love rested, hate came into its own.

God is asleep in those who smite with hate.

Love your enemies, even when they smite you; for the God is asleep in those who smite with hate.

Everything has its wonders.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein, to be content.

—Helen Keller

You hate only those you fear.

You hate only those whom you fear, and in a tolerant world, there will be few seeds of hatred.

—The Judge
