This week I used the selection below by Peter V. Ross before I had to meet with someone I felt intimidated by. It made me think about the above Bible quote from our lesson, “my flesh crieth out for the living God.” A statement from our Roundtable Sunday came to mind, “Make sure your home and body are a dwelling place for God. The temple of the Holy Ghost.” (1 Corinthians 6:19). I saw that thinking should be a, “dwelling place for God” and by filling it with truths silencing the negative lies I was making room for the “living God”. Doing this before the meeting brought peace and joy, knowing that all the qualities were within me given by God.
“Say to yourself, ‘I am the temple of the living God; the Lord is in His holy temple, let this world of pain and trouble be still. I am eternal Life on exhibition. I am the place where all-knowing Mind is diffusing courage, wisdom, resourcefulness, keenness of vision, and soundness of judgment.'” How Can You Help Yourself by Peter V. Ross
