GOD'S IN HIS HEAVEN
GOD AND MAN MAN is as inseparable from God as he is from his shadow. The reason of one is the cause of the other. As nothing can obliterate your shadow, or separate you from it, so nothing can separate you from God. Storms may beat upon it, rain may fall upon it, but the shadow is not effaced or even affected until its cause is removed. Since God, whose image and likeness you are, whose reflection you are, is immovable and eternal, unchangeable and fixed - there is no fear that the cause for your reflection will taken away. To have a shadow it is necessary to have light shining on us, and the way to keep this light shining is by keeping a heart full of gratitude, full of the oil of joy of right living. There are no gray days in a grateful heart; the sun is always shining there. That which is your will come unto you - not by any frantic struggling and fighting to wrestle it away from the Giver of all Gifts; not by long and dark hours of laboriously "knowing the truth" - but by letting it float into you as a natural sequence of right thinking, just like the light comes to you in the morning. You don't fight for it - you don't go out to meet it; you "let" it come unto you. There is clean, wholesome activity about this letting - it is the jewel of thought turning in all directions to catch all the light possible - it is the obedience of the sunflower which follows the sun across the sky each day, ever with its eye heavenward on the Source of all Light - and at night immediately after it has set - turning its face eastward, ready and waiting for the first faint flushes of the dawn. Keep, then, your mind's eye open to every bit of truth and love that is being sent out to you by the all-loving Father - and all else will take care of itself. |
