The Inner Life

DO YOU really want to know the Absolute Truth? Do you really want to be free? Are you willing to pay the price? Then you should be prepared to know that you must renounce everything of a personal nature. When you have paid the full price of freedom the personal self will be bankrupt. You must surrender all before the final payment is made.

Jesus says: “If ye will do the will of God you will know the doctrine.” To be able to do the will of God you must know exactly what His will really is. Listen to the words of Divine Wisdom pouring out through the lips of the perfect Man, Jesus: “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye love one another.”

Are you willing to pay the price? CAN YOU pay the full price? Are you able to love others as Jesus loves you? Yes; but only through the power of God, with Whom all things are possible. If you will earnestly try, “without ceasing,” your success and the resulting reward will be increasingly great. It will continue to grow so long as you “faint not.”

Doing the will of God, which is loving as Jesus loves, you will know the whole Truth and be free indeed. Having learned to love in the Christ way, you will be free to enter into that place which He has gone to prepare for you. Having learned your lesson of love, you will be ready for the fulfillment of His promise that “where I am, ye may be also.” You will understand that you have bartered your little all for the great, boundless All of God. Having lost your life for His sake, you shall find it, in all of its fullness, for ever more.
