In the depths of his being man always feels intuitively that there is a way out of his difficulties if only he can find it. The infant, as yet uncontaminated by the defeatism of his elders, simply refuses to tolerate inharmony on any terms, and therefore he demonstrates over it. When he is hungry he tells the world while many a sophisticated adult goes without. Does he find a pin sticking in some part of his anatomy? Not for him a sigh of resignation to the supposed “will of God,” or a whine about never having any luck, or a sigh that what cannot be cured must be endured. His instincts tell him that life and harmony are inseparable.
Refuse to tolerate anything less than harmony. You can have a happy and joyous life. But to do so you must seize the rudder of your own destiny and steer boldly for the port that you intend to make. What are you doing about your future?
For not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified (Romans 2:13).
If we knew today was our last day, would we spend it fretting over our problems or cramming in every ounce of joy and harmony we could find? Would we grouse about our mate’s shortcomings or look into their eyes and profess our eternal love? Would we fuss about our children’s weaknesses or take them in our arms with tenderness and thanksgiving? Would we complain about getting up early for work or joyously breathe in the cool morning air with gratefulness and peace? Would we walk with our heads down filled with self-pity or with our head erect witnessing all the joy and blessings with which God has surrounded us? We all know the answer to these questions. The only question left is, will we live today as if it is our last while preparing to live each each additional day we have in harmony and appreciation for all God’s gifts?
Seizing the rudder,
