Thoughts for the week:

 

July 6

"Ask and ye shall recieve." Never let yourself think you cannot do something useful or that you never will be able to accomplish a useful task. The fact is that you can do practically anything in the field of human relationships, if you are willing to call on God's supply of strength. The supply may not be immediately available, because you may not be entirely ready to recieve it. But it will surely come when you are properly prepared for it. As yu grow spiritually, a feeling of being plentifully supplied by God's strength will possess you and you will be able to accomplish many useful things.

July 5 An Inexhaustible Supply

As far as God is concerned, there is no check of any kind upon the amount of divine energy that we can appropriate, or, therefore, upon the things that we can do or be. Yet, for practical purposes, you can draw from the inexhaustible Source only in accordance with the measure of your understanding, just as you can only draw water from the Atlantic only in accordance with the size of the vessek that you use. Almost everyone is foolishly content to fill his pitcher, small as it may be, to somewhere very short of the top.

July 6  Self-Analysis

We always demonstrate our consciousness. We always demonstrate what we habitually have in our mind. What sort of mind have you? Do not let anyone else tell you, because they do not know. People who like you will think your mentality is better than it is; those who do not like you will think it is worse. Just examine your conditions and see what you are demonstrating. This method is scientific and infallible.

Disillusionment and doubt spoil life. The doubting ones are the disillusioned ones. When you are in doubt, you are on the fence. You are not going anywhere. Doubt poisons all action. You should meet life with a "Yes," an affirming attitude. There is good in the world and we can follow that good. There is power available to help us do the right thing; therefore we will accept that power. There are miracles of change in people's lives; therefore we will accept those miracles as evidence of God's power.
