I know it's been almost two months since I posted... I am going to do better though. ;-) Check back here each week there will be at least one new thing. Like this thought for the day.
Your present problem is your great opportunity. Your own mind- the Secret Place, as Jesus called it- is the council chamber where the arrangements and decisions for your whole life are made; it is also the drafting room where the plans for your destiny are formed. Your life is your laboratory. The world is your workshop.
The reason that you are here is that you may develop spiritually; and the way to do that is to meet the challenge of practical life. You do no develop spiritually by running away from life into some sheltered retreat. Nor do you grow in spiritual stature by gaining your point through will power.
It is the law that any difficulties that can come to you at any time, must be exactly what you need most at the moment to enable you to take the next step forward by overcoming them. The only real misfortune, the only real tragedy, comes when we suffer without learning the lesson.
I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil. John 17:15
