Weekly Quote 50, with Commentary from the School of Truth

And I shall walk at liberty - (Ps 19:45)
I am a beloved expression of God and my love for, and faith in Him, fulfil my good

So many of us are chained to something or someone. We may be the victims of fear, and what would we not give to be free of this destructive emotion? It prevents us from living fully and richly - from living adventurously and excitingly. Instead of enjoying the thrill of striving against the current in the middle of the stream of life, fearful people try to stay in a quiet backwater which they hope will be safe. We should all cultivate courage diligently. It will come with faith. Faith in the Power of God within us will make us bold and free.

We also need to rid ourselves of outworn ideas - the wrong ones instilled into us by ignorant people in our childhood perhaps. And these are not easy to eradicate.

But we must get rid of the ideas of God as a God, sitting on a throne in some remote heaven noting the errors of His erring children that He may punish them. God is a God of LOVE, understanding, and forgiveness.
