I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

King James Version of the Bible

“Reaching For The Light”

Personal Awareness … p 4

Life is not “a bowl of cherries,” and it is not made better when we simply accept all that befalls us without questioning its validity. This is none other than a state of mind nurtured by habit; that of letting life run its course with little or no thought given to the fact that we alone are in charge of our own destiny. Our very well-being demands that we free ourself of this habit by cultivating a sense of personal awareness and of consciously making choices that redound to our good.

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

“Reaching For The Light”

Salvation … p 5

The Peace we O so long for

Is ours alone to win

Be still, be still, and look within.

’Tis truth that gives us moorage

Faith in God a place to stand

The soul unveiled now lights our way

To selfless love, which saves the day. 

— Garry D. Kilbourn

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

— St. Matthew 18:20

“Reaching For The Light”

O The Mind … p 5

Harmony of mind, body and soul begins with the realization that it is the mind — the incessant workings of the mind — that governs our well-being. Not a moment passes but that we may consciously choose our thoughts: they are ours to own and to act upon as we alone decide. Not surprisingly, the operative word is 'to act,’ ever mindful that for good or ill, so go our thoughts.

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

“Providential Guideposts” 

God’s Loving Goodness … p. 84

See only goodness in others,

Live in God’s heavenly light,

How else to know our own goodness?

How else to be free of the darkness of night?

’Tis mind, mortal mind, that bedevils the soul,

’Tis God’s loving goodness alone makes us whole.

— Garry D. Kilbourn

And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities,

“Providential Guideposts”

Be Like Me … p. 83

God hears

My heart-felt longing

It’s plain for all to see,

For when I seek His comfort

He tells me, “Be like me.”

I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

I AM

Sophia … p. 82

I am Sophia

I am Woman,

Mother of all Living.

I eat of the Tree of Knowledge

Knowing that He created me

In His own image,

A spiritual dove

Of goodness and love;

God’s blessed child:

Like Him, I AM.

Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doth good is of God: but he that doth evil hath not seen God.

— The Third Epistle of John 1:11 

King James Version of the Bible 

“Reflections From Infinite Mind”

Know Your Own 

Goodness … p. 45

Be still of mind:

Say to yourself

Or say it aloud

“Thank you God.”

Does that not make you

Feel good inside?

Say it throughout the day

To lift your spirit,

To put a smile on your face

And to awaken the sense

Of goodness within you

That you may in turn

See the goodness in others.

— Garry D. Kilbourn
