Sensuality, drunkenness, and worldliness satisfy a man for a
time, but their power is a decreasing one. God produces harmony in those who
receive His Spirit and follow Its dictates. Today as I become more
harmonized within, I become more in tune with all of God's wonderful creation.
The singing of the birds, the sighing of the wind, the patter of raindrops, the
roll of thunder, the laughter of happy children, add to the symphony with which
I am in tune. The heaving ocean, the driving rain, autumn leaves, the stars of
heaven, the perfume of flowers, music, a smile, and a host of other things tell
me of the glory of God. There are periods of darkness, but the stars are
shining, no matter how black the night. There are disturbances, but I have
learned that if I seek patience and open-mindedness, understanding will come.
And with it, direction by the Spirit of God. The dawn comes and with it more
understanding, the peace that passes understanding and the joy of living that
is not disturbed by the wildness of circumstances or people around me. Fears,
resentments, pride, worldly desires, worry, and self-pity no longer possess me.
Ever-increasing are the number of true friends, ever-growing is the capacity
for love, ever-widening is the horizon of understanding. And above all else
comes a greater thankfulness to, and a greater love for Our Father in heaven.
