The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | OCTOBER 1934
Christ and God sees them, they are not real and are but as dreams that vanish in the morning when we awake.
If men will only learn to think what God wants them to think and to do only His will, they need no more be troubled about existing conditions; for a truth they will then be in that glowing mist where the outer darkness cannot penetrate, because they will know it is all unreal.
A STRANGE KNOWING
THERE has come over me a strange knowing, and I rest very tranquilly in it. I no longer feel the need of striving after anything. I listen to the Law spoken within so lovingly and gently,—yea, even the Sermon on the Mount, and am amazed that I do not have any fear whatsoever of disobeying these laws.
I no longer worry as I used to about obedience, but rest peacefully in the Lord, knowing that He within me does the work.
Finances no longer bother me either, although I have but a dollar at this present writing—that gives me no concern whatever. My house, which I had long visualized as being done over, is painted inside and outside, awnings are at the windows, and so forth.
This morning, while painting a bedroom, husband said, “Well, one can’t sit down and have a thing done for him. You can think and wish, but it will never be done.”
I smiled to myself as I saw him painting down the wall. I can remember the time not far distant when I too thought one had to work and with the sweat of one’s face earn money for our sufficient maintenance. Now I see things clearer and know that God does look after His children who truly love and trust Him.
Also I used to say I did not love money, never having prayed for any material thing. I now think I certainly did more than love money—I worshipped it, for I feared it always. I cannot begin to tell you how everything concerning finances is cleared up, and my husband is much more generous with me.
I can never thank you enough for the truths in the Papers.
