April 4th
Salient Thought
for the Day
When we consult our inner being in everything, we begin to hear the voice of God and perceive His Presence.
Lines
to Memorize
Lo! a perfect cave in the utmost depths of my heart was awaiting, ever ready and ever still.
It was afar, yea, out of reach of all our ills.
Now I sit with Thee in unbroken peace in rain, storm and wind.
They come and beat against my outer life, but have no access to where my heart’s treasure lies.
Lesson
The ultimate vision of Reality far surpasses all that we can picture. When we attain it, we no longer think whether we are worthy or unworthy, rich or poor, happy or unhappy. We gain a new spirit. We seem to breathe the real oxygen of life, we find fresh hope and courage. As we have certain hours for our outer duties, so we must have a time which we devote to our soul culture. When day after day we strive to cultivate this inward sight, we cannot fail to unfold it.
Prayer
Indwelling Spirit,
May I learn that my own strength is never sufficient,
But that my strength lies always in Your strength.
May I so offer up my life that all my thoughts and actions may have their source in You.
