Salient Thought
for the Day
God picks up the humble life and makes it fruitful.
Lines to Memorize
I found happiness nowhere till my self-will was lost in His Will.
Now I have no will of mine,
Nor do I want my will again.
His Will is my will
And my will is His.
In His Will is my delight;
His Presence is my peace.
Lesson
The lowly ground, there the water rolls; there it fertilizes and enriches the soil. Those who are great are never aggressive or domineering. There is no reason to be either arrogant or self-depreciative. When we depreciate ourselves, it is not humility. When we fall into despair and despondency, it means we have lost our higher instinct and forgotten our own true value. Our sense of values has become distorted.
Prayer
All-blessed One, bestow upon me Your grace,
That I may always yield my will up to Yours,
And seek Your will alone.
Free me from all sense of self-importance and arrogance.
Take from me all heaviness and sadness and make me worthy of Your blessing.
