“… the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.”
— Isaiah 60:1
King James Version of the Bible
from GOD THINGS
To Know Peace Within
— be in Touch with God … p. 24
We are, each of us, our own worst enemy. We allow ourselves to be imprisoned by the unending workings of the mind which are at odds with those thoughts—were we to honour and abide by them—that would set us free.
Our mind, like the rest of our body, is there to serve us, to do our will. In order that we may habitually think those thoughts which ultimately give us peace within we must literally turn our mind on itself. Through conscious effort we can still the unhealthy, self-centred workings of the mind, thus to begin thinking thoughts of love, to recognize the goodness within ourselves and to see the goodness in others.
Equally important, in coming to terms with our thoughts, as manifested by our conduct, we learn to get in touch with our soul. To be in touch with our soul is to be in touch with God, thus to know peace within.
