"Wherefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many are forgiven; for she loved much. " —Jesus Following our Master's way I do not pin the past on you I do not hold it over you it has already slipped from sight a dream that never was for you love much love the joy that Soul bestows love the purer light of Spirit love the good you find in loving more unselfishly I see you as you always were an honored child I do this happily for you dear friend as it was done for me.

Sword and spear and shield will not do it. Sharp surfaces of will and hate cannot deliver up the giant.

Gazing at a bright, commanding peak, we are not there yet, but the heart is drawn — we're drawn to walk, to climb, to reach, discovering with each needed step the fullness of good here now .

When the banner of Christ needs upholding, and yet you don't want to; When something lures "just this once," and you can't figure out why not; When strength and steadfastness are the only course, and yet you're uncertain you can hang on; These are the moments/years to call on your Saviour, that helper beyond the human mind. Christ tells you that you are chosen, and can choose none other Than the reality of the God you love.

Its bark was soft As baby's skin, A touch of velvet Smooth and green. Not scarred or burnt By desert heat Nor forced into A charred defeat But new and fresh And strengthened too By howling winds And sands that blew.

Stiff winds give a strong lift, as the unseen hand of Love carries the eagle into the purest spheres. Do unrelenting winds of grief pour in where yearning hope clings to a light still dim? Then look upward— for even now Love lifts us into sweeter joys that never will be lost.

God, the great illustrator, reminding that good predominates over unreal clouds of sickness or fear. Primary colors of Christliness rainbowed in faith, loyalty, trust, are a link to Love's everlasting loveliness HERE.

You can prove As the master Christian did, There is no power to interrupt, deprive, or limit You—divine Mind's idea—in your expression Of intelligence, vitality, health; To keep you from tasting the eternal fullness of life. Luminous words of Christ, Truth, Endow you to conquer this moment, To yield to ever-fresh todays and tomorrows, To know God's gentle might, His light, Must radiate through you! * See Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p.

In church one Sunday morning, the Scriptural reading inspired me to include in my prayer the truth that God was the intelligence of the congregation; therefore, everyone knew what he or she needed to know. When I finished, the thought came, "You left the stove on!" Slipping out quietly, I drove home and arrived in time to prevent disaster.

We go so our love will flow to the love-forsaken. They are mistaken.
