"If you desire to become as much as you become, then you must realize this truth: you can only become as much as you think
." Shirley Bell Hastings
The above is another quote from our Center's founding minister, Rev. Shirley Bell Hastings.
She went on, "If you truly desire to become as much as you can, you must play the game fair and square and follow the rules. Here are the rules:
1. Do what the day brings forth, and do it the best it can be done.
2. While doing what needs to be done, think the think you want.
3. Have faith in the presence of the mighty God-force; have faith in the thinking; have faith in yourself."
Rev. Hastings really condensed a lot down into those three "rules." When we do the best we can do, while never losing sight of our vision, always growing our faith in Spirit and ourselves, then nothing is beyond our capacity. Just doing this practice grows our faith AND our vision, so it is always, always helpful.
Try it -- for a week, a month, a year. Keep track of the changes in your life. You will be pleasantly amazed. That is something I think both Rev. Hastings and I would be willing to guarantee!
With great love,
Rev. CC
