Weekly Quote 17

Do not fear or be in dread; He will not fail you or forsake you - (Rom 13:10)
IN TRUST I ENTER MY FATHER'S KINGDOM



Frightening as it may seem, All-presence allows no halfway attitude in us.. We cannot take out an insurance policy against the possibility that He may fail us.


Trust is like being the first guest to enter a beautiful, carpeted banquet room. As the doors sweep closed silently behind us we find ourselves in a hushed environment of plenty. We are cut off from all worldly clamour, all want and distress. If we would enter trust we must imagine this environment, must desire with all our heart to be in it.


"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" says the Master. It is not a comment about material wealth but about materialism, the view that sees "things" as real in themselves rather than as the manifestation of ideas. So trust your heavenly Father, share His good ideas, and become heir to His kingdom of all-good.
