Perhaps the second best prayer ever written is the Scotsman’s Prayer – “Lord give us a good conceit of ourselves.” You cannot have too much respect for yourself. You cannot have too much confidence in yourself. You cannot claim too much for yourself. But remember that you must realize these things as being the expression of God in you and not independent qualities of your own. You must also accept them as being true for every other human being.
Nothing but failure can come of self-depreciation. Of course, it is true that stupid people can get the malady called “swelled head” – and this ends in a fall – but the realization of one’s divine selfhood never gives swelled head. It gives wisdom, balance, poise, and steady progress. Think, talk, live your divine, glorious selfhood, and it will demonstrate itself in your life.
I have said, Ye are Gods; and all of you are children of the most High (Psalm 82:6).
We are the only things that can limit us. They way we think, what we think about and what we fail to think about does more to limit humans than all external conditions combined.
If we truly believe we are Gods and children of the most high, then we must respect and love ourselves just as we respect and love our heavenly Father. When we do, we will discover the unlimited joy of being that can only come from communion with God.
Being divine within,
