Salient Thought
for the Day
God is real to one who is spiritually awakened and humble.
Lines to Memorize
Thou art the Maker of this life, the Giver of my sight.
Once I was ignorant of all this and sought happiness apart from Thee;
But now Thou knowest my only desire.
Lesson
To have a perpetual sense of dedication to God, we must carry Him in our thought and in our action, and realization will come as a result of this. When it comes, nothing can separate us from the allness, the all-abidingness of Deity. Then in the midst of all changing things we rest in That which is stable. It is through our understanding and a sense of consecration that we attain this state. Mere intellectual reasoning will not give it. We must have a finer intelligence; we must be full of finer feelings and free from self-assertion.
Prayer
O Infinite Spirit!
You are my protecting Father,
You are my loving Mother,
You are the nearest of all beings.
Make me more conscious of that nearness
And help me to trust more wholly to Your loving care.
