Key to Yourself by Venice Bloodworth: We are all children of the Father

There is no need to fear anything for we carry the indwelling power to overcome everything. Then why should we be angry with our brother? If he has injured you, he will surely reap with interest whatever he has done to you, and if you are angry in return you harm yourself more than him; and remember that the same mighty power dwells within you, sleeps also in your brother. We are all children of the Father and co-heirs with Christ; so lift yourself above the petty manifestations of mistakes and live in accord with the good within you.

There are times when even the bravest want to give up; times when appearances indicate that everything is against us, and it is no use to try. At such times you should remember that it is always darkest before the dawn; that a little more faith, a little more patience is all that we need to win. Remember, too, that all those who have reached their goal ahead of you felt tired sometimes, and wanted to give up, but they DID NOT.

Key to Yourself by Venice Bloodworth

"Spiritual things are spiritually discerned." We can get no understanding from the world of visible things; the things we see have no originating power in themselves. The world without is relative only; Truth is absolute and must be found by each individual within his own soul. Go into the Silence every day and concentrate on the fact that you are a spiritual being, a child of God and co-heir with Christ. Put aside every other thought except the desire for the truth. Ask for wisdom, knowledge and understanding as Solomon did and you will find as he did, that all else follows in their train.

Increase in me that wisdom that discovers my truest interest. Strengthen my resolution to perform that which wisdom dictates. -Franklin
