Life

(January 24, 1999)

New life comes only when we turn loose the old. There must be a place for what we want or need. If there is not a place prepared, the new life flows on by--and we are left with the same things we have always had. If we think we cannot bear to part with the old way of life, we are not ready to accept anything new.

Instead, we can make a personal decision to forget what is behind and push forward to what is ahead. Our mental and spiritual attitudes make room for a new life when we set them in motion with our words. Nothing will overtake us, not love, not prosperity, not peace and joy - until we make a place for them and ask them to come in.

Hope, alone, does not do it, but a firm decision for a new life will clear the way.

Peace,
