How do you disperse the shadows of grief and sorrow?

There is no physician like cheerful thought for dissipating the ills of the body; there is no comforter to compare with goodwill for dispersing the shadows of grief and sorrow. To live continually in thoughts of ill-will, cynicism, suspicion and envy is to be confined in a self-made prison-hole. But to think well of all, to be cheerful with all, to patiently learn to find the good in all—such unselfish thoughts are the very portals of heaven, and to dwell day by day in thoughts of peace toward every creature will bring abounding peace to their possessor.

Faith has great power and magnitude.

Christ recognised faith as a great attribute of the human soul, and being aware of its power and magnitude, He said—

If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto the mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove and nothing shall be impossible to you.

—Matt. 17:20

Wise words to live by.

Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
