Salient Thought
for the Day
Remember that complete surrender alone makes us clear channels for the Supreme.
Lines
to Memorize
Since Thou hast given me refuge and taken me into Thy safekeeping, I have lost all fear.
My long night of anxious waking is forever ended.
I sit now with contentment in my heart,
I walk with free spirit,
And I sleep with surrender in my soul.
Lesson
We need Divine guidance from within. There are two wills, God’s will and self-will. Both are active. The foolish chooses self-will; the wise choose God’s will, because they do not feel safe to be separated from God and His guidance. This is wisdom, but this wisdom cannot be imposed. Life has its culmination when we learn to have a true sense of God as the Supreme Doer. When we acquire spiritual surrender, we rise above all our troubles.
Prayer
I am only an instrument in Your hands, Lord;
Make me an efficient instrument.
Help me never to forget that You are behind me in every act.
Take from me all egotism and self-importance.
May I always be a humble instrument, wholly submissive to Your Will.
