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.
