You have to do your part.

You have to do your part; you must not give up—at a certain point here and there the Father's love is shown. Just do your little bit, and then, without worry, without misgiving, say to yourself—and mean it too—God is looking after me and He has thought of everything to carry me through. Yes, in daily life, with those who seek to serve the Master, this is worked out again and again.

God has it all worked out!

We have all been brought up against such adverse forces that we have felt with all our being—I can't go on! But in quietness, and with faith, do not take the initiative yourself—be certain that God has it all worked out and that when you feel you can do no more, then Love will lift you out of it and put you upon that safe, high hill where evil cannot touch you.

Take it to Christ and leave it there.

Whatever may happen in your life, either in a physical way or in regard to those spiritual tests which are very hard to grapple with, take it to Christ and leave it there. Be certain that the Father, being our Father, will not forsake His children when we try so hard to do His will.

Go on without fear and with perfect confidence.

Whatever our need, with those who wish to do the right thing, all has been overlooked by the Father; it has been overseen that nothing shall go wrong, and all He asks of us is to go on without fear and with perfect confidence that not only in front but keeping step with us, on either side, are His messengers.

God's Love never fails.

Be quite sure that all, all is well, and that God's Love never fails—never, whatever may happen.

Million Beacons of Light

Often at night, we have raised our eyes to the stars—those little symbols of God's love which reassure us in rather a pretty way that our world is not alone. In those quiet moments, if we are receptive, we can open the doors of the physical mind a little and then within us we feel this—The mightiness, the grandeur of the Mind of God. Yes, it is impossible to look at the heavens, with its million beacons of light and to remain unmoved, if we have any imagination at all.

Keep a watchful guard over your thoughts.

Keep a watchful guard over your thoughts; have faith; do your part. Only by the showing of faith can we have those good gifts of the Spirit.

Think on lines of love.

When we are able to think on lines of love—we set up directly a certain set of vibrations, not only in our own soul but in those around us, which creates the music of the spheres—music which is quite independent of instrument or note.

Hold on to the thought of Divine Love.

While the pain is borne, hold on to the thought of Divine Love, then something, something of the realisation and revelation will come of what that pain is working out.

God does not stand aside.

Cast from your mind that distorted thought that God stands aside and allows evil to do its worst. Gather in instead this consolation—that Christ who suffered so much Himself, out of Love dare not tear from the individual soul the treasure that pain can purchase.

I didn't mean it exactly in the way I put it.

How often is it that the conviction comes that we have put into words that which but faintly represents what was in our mind, and we say, Oh, I didn't mean it exactly in the way I put it! but the words have gone out—they have found a lodgement in the mind of another and the first little bit of damage has been done.

The Great Spirit of Love is bound to us.

Oh, do try and gather this closer—closer to that self within, which does understand a little what Divine Love represents. Have you not said to yourselves—I wonder how God can love me! All, all who are His acknowledged children think that—and the answer comes at once—Because you are My own! That, dear children, should tell you a little, it should explain something of that wonderful tie there is between you and the Father—that unbreakable tie, which means that forever, for all that Eternity, which your mind has to leave untouched, that you are bound to Him and, what is more wonderful still, that He—the Great Spirit of Love—is bound to us. Inseverable are the links, and it is our glorious privilege to claim, not only as a gift but as a right—that care, that protection, which is our own.

Have more trust in the tender regard of our Father.

Have more faith; have more trust in the tender regard of our Father. Say to yourself—Yes; this may seem an unwarranted blow, but I know, I know that God is my Father and that in the by-and-by, even that which struck the hardest will be revealed as Love and the wonderful purpose shown beneath!

Make room for the spirit to grow.

Bestir that which is within and make room for the spirit to grow. Remember that however hard, however steep the path may seem, it is simply in imagination only; built up by the physical mind alone, for the spirit, free and separated from everything that bespeaks pain, joys in its God, rejoices in its at-one-ment with the Great Spirit and draws unto itself the power, which is of Him.

Set your house in order; be watchful over the little things, prayerful over the big. And, as each night falls, as each morning's work begins, know that within you is the strength, the courage which will carry you through; that even as an army, there are the helpers around you, inspiring and encouraging you to answer to the Voice that calls you on.

Do not distress if the enemy makes a noisy fusillade—he is not on the gaining side. And, although at times it seems to you that the forces of evil can trample the good underneath, yet the good is only pushed on one side and when the evil has exhausted itself, rises up untouched, supreme.

We are one great family in Christ.

In the Spirit, space, time divisions, separations, all fall to the ground. We are one great family in Christ, and wherever you may be, or whatever calls, that close, intimate family life is never interfered with, and we are—at a thought—in perfect communion with you and nothing is strong enough to come in between.

I want you if you can to strive still more—to strive and yet not to be disheartened if you seem to fail; to remember that hereafter all will be made plain and then living in the environment of Love, you will find that all thoughts which are not of Love will be alien to you and they will cause you pain until they are brought into harmony with that which abounds on every side.

No force of evil could ever separate God from you.

The shadows, it seems, separate you from the Master, but because darkness and light have nothing in common, no force of evil could ever separate God from you. He is your Father, and the Father does not desert His little children in their hour of need.

We are brother to each one and all.

Consciously or unconsciously, we belong to the great Brotherhood of Humanity—not to a sect, a belief, a race or a creed. Whether we recognise it or not, we all belong to the great brotherhood under Christ; we are brother to each one and all, and all and each one is brother to us.

Blind I may be, but Christ sees for me, and with Him I am safe!

Blind I may be, but Christ sees for me, and with Him I am safe!

Until we can, in a measure, get this attitude of mind, the suffering, the feeling of isolation and despair will go on. 

We suffer—the shadows are pressing—but now, and always, God's protection is complete because we emerge from the darkness into the light. This is what so-called death represents—that final emerging from the twilight of earthly experience into the light of revelation when Love surrounds us and joy is our natural environment because we are living in God's Eternal Day.
