Things to Remember

 
I find what I look for in people. If I look for God, I find God. If I look
for bad qualities, I find them. I, in a sense, select what I expect, and I receive it.

A life without challenges would be like going to school without lessons to
learn. Challenges come not to depress or get me down, but to master and to grow
and to unfold thereby.

In the Father's wise and loving plan for me, no burden can fall upon me, no
emergency can arise, no grief can overtake me, before I am given the grace
and strength to meet them.

A rich, full life is not determined by outer circumstances and relationships. These
can be contributory to it, but cannot be the source. I am happy or unhappy
because of what I think and feel.

I can never lose anything that belongs to me, nor can I posses what is not
really mine.

To never run from a problem: either it will chase me or I will run into
another just like it, although it may have a different face or name.

To have no concern for tomorrow. Today is the yesterday over which I had
concern.

To never bang on a closed door: Wait for it to open and then go through it.

A person who has come into my life has come either to teach me something,
or to learn something from me.
