When we meeL losses or reverses, and when all doors seem Lo be closed

When you are LempLed Lo be dlsLurbed, dlsappolnLed or fearful over someone,

Lhese seem largely absenL. 1he SplrlL can heal and renew Lhe body, qulcken Lhe

Lherefore, over anyone aL any Llme. We may expecL everyone Lo be gulded,

We need noL be anxlous, fearful or concerned, abouL anyone or anyLhlng,

shall lL be. A greaL falLh, Lherefore, can brlng resulLs beyond anyLhlng ever known

When you feel concerned over Lhe llfe of someone who seems Lo be on Lhe

1here ls a general bellef among many LhaL Cod ls eager Lo Lake away, Lo

LhaL Cod does noL Lake anyone or anyLhlng away from us. Cod does noL deprlve
anyone of anyLhlng LhaL has worLh and reallLy. 1he only Lhlngs LhaL we lose,

13

when we go Lo Cod, are our llls and llluslons. lndeed, lf we would be safe and

When we have obllgaLlons Lo meeL, and Lhe means are noL aL hand, we wlll noL

When we have hlgher asplraLlons, and do noL see our way Lo Lhelr reallzaLlon,

Cur hlghesL asplraLlons wlll be reallzed, for all Lhlngs become posslble when we

We wlll use Lhls same marvelous meLhod when we are LempLed Lo become

1he blesslngs LhaL come, as we always leave lL Lo Cod, are numerous and

When we look more Lo Cod, and Lhlnk more abouL Lhe lnflnlLe, we wlll enlarge

so far LhaL we Lhlnk only Lhe good. 1hls wlll mean LhaL we Lhlnk only Lhe good,
