Salient Thought
for the Day
Through trust we approach nearer and nearer to the Supreme.
Lines
to Memorize
I will cling to Thee with all the might of my soul;
I hold fast to Thy hand which is full of saving,
With all the strength of my heart’s devotion.
Do not look upon me and mine iniquities.
They will fly and have no place in me
If Thou wilt but cast upon me Thy merciful glance.
Lesson
Spiritual trust gives us a conception of Divine Being. With calculation or mere intellectual grasp we can go only so far, but by spiritual surrender there is no limit to our progress. When we have given up harsh, unkind feelings, we cleanse our own house and prepare for the Lord’s coming. When we are in need, He will not fail to come.
Prayer
Infinite Being, make me realize that I am part of Your infinitude.
Help me to forget my selfishness and limitation,
And become worthy to partake of Your Divinity.
May I love all and serve all for Your sake,
And seek no life or joy apart from You.
