Why not make the following experiment, which will not only be thrillingly interesting, but will certainly teach you more in one day than you could learn from books or lectures in many weeks.
Here is what you have to do. For one whole day think, speak, and act exactly as you would if you were absolutely convinced of the truth of the statements that God has all power and infinite intelligence, and that His nature is infinite goodness and love.
To think in this manner all day will be the most difficult thing, because thought is so subtle. To speak in accordance with these truths will be easier, if you are vigilant. To act in accordance with them will be the easiest part, although it may require much in the way of moral courage.
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform (Romans 4:21).
What would we have to change to think, speak and act this way?
Chances are we would have to change a lot. But wouldn’t it be worth it?
We would not have to judge, condemn or criticize others.
We would not have to fear, hate or dislike anything thing or anyone.
We would not have to feel anxious, angry or intimidated.
We would be devoid of insecurity, aggressiveness, guile and spite.
We would abandon regret, shame and guilt.
Now all these things are among those which cause our greatest pain.
Even if we had to change the way we think, speak and act forever, wouldn’t it be worth it?
As a man thinketh,
Z gardener
