Salient Thought
for the Day
It is through the inner that we govern our outer life.
Lines
to Memorize
Search in thine house;
Look again and yet again.
Why dost thou go about wandering,
Roaming like a wanton beggar from door to door?
Thou art not such:
Thy estate not so low.
Lesson
What we see in outer life, whether it makes for success or failure, beauty or ugliness, is the result of what we evolve from within. We are responsible for it. We are preparing all the time for our blessing or for our misfortune. Whether our thought, our attitude, our interest, is incoming or outgoing will determine the whole question. We never find our fulfillment through the outer. We cannot continue to live wholly in the outer life without breaking ourselves.
Prayer
Infinite Spirit, I come to You in humble submission.
You are the Source of my life:
To live apart from You means experiencing death.
You are the Source of my power:
To act apart from You means weakness and defeat.
In supplication I lift my heart to You;
Fill it with new life and inner strength.
