Jesus will meet me today in the person of someone in need-I must not miss him.

Prayer is surrender--surr ender to the will of God and cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boathook from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.

Image
No person is free until he or she is free at the center. When we let go there, we are free indeed. When the self is renounced, then one stands utterly disillusioned, apart, asking for nothing. If anything comes to us, it is all sheer gain. Then life becomes one constant surprise.

Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.

Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver.
