James Allen's Daily Meditations: May 20th
Excerpts from "James Allen’s Book of Meditations for Every Day in the Year" (1913)
James Allen's meditations present the opportunity for a daily meditation on the burning question within us all. How should we act?
As we witness the example Christ and strive to be faithful in our pursuit of that vision, the Spirit within confirms for us that we are on the path of Good.
To the faithful, humble, and true will be revealed the sublime Vision of the Perfect One.
May 20th
GOOD news indeed is that message of Jesus which reveals to man His divine possibilities; which says in substance to sin-stricken humanity, "Take up thy bed and walk ; which tells man that he need no longer remain the creature of darkness and ignorance and sin, if he will but believe in Goodness, and will watch and strive and conquer until he has actualised in his life the Goodness that is sinless. And in thus believing and overcoming, man has not only the guide of that Perfect Rule which Jesus has embodied in His precepts, he has also the inward Guide, the Spirit of Truth in his own heart, " The Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world," which, as he follows it, will infallibly witness to the divine origin of those precepts.
Realise the perfect Goodness of the Eternal Christ.
Christ offers us the perfect example of how to live true to ourselves. Though the world would attempt to beat us down, we can be assured that the heart is able to triumph over all adversity.
