“Be thou strong and very courageous. It is foolish and sinful to doubt the goodness and power of God. All of good is everywhere, never divided nor limited, and enough for all. We must have strength, courage, and faith to trust God always and all the way. Divine Love is the only power and presence of the universe, here, now, and you can not be shut out from His joy. The promise and fulfillment go hand in hand, and now is the day of salvation from all unlike good. Our understanding of God must equal our faith in Him; then we are intelligently praying, and the result is certain and sure. The argument that would discourage is not born of the Father, is not supported by law, hence it is baseless and base.

“Be strong dear heart. Live one day at the time. Yesterday never was– tomorrow never will be; there is no time but now. And by doing our intelligent best today, tomorrow brings another day in which we can know more and more of Him from whom all blessings flow. Be cheerful. Hope all things, endure all things, expect all good to come, and come soon, and as we understand it, God will make it so. Be strong and of good courage.”
