A PATTERN FOR THOUGHT

We are to think on those things which are of good report. That is, we are to think on those things which are of the Truth. When we do this, we can accomplish because of our own inner mind which is Christ. This mind is the creator of the heavens and the earth and all that therein dwell.n6649 ¶1

And God will supply all our needs. This is a beautiful thought, to be fed from the table of the universe whose board is ever spread with blessedness and peace, whose loving-kindness has never been fathomed, whose grace and truth are the corner-stones of reality. We are to be fed, clothed and supplied in every need straight from the center and source of all.n6649 ¶2

More than this we could not ask. Greater could not be given. Lowell tells us that “Heaven alone is given away,” and all is ours for the asking. Shall not this asking, then, include all righteousness and truth?n6649 ¶3

See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.n6649 ¶4

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks:n6649 ¶5

Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things: hold fast that which is good.n6649 ¶6

Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly.n6649 ¶7

REJOICE EVERMORE

We are to rejoice evermore. There is no sadness in the Spirit, It is ever happy and free, for It knows neither depression nor confusion and we belong to It, are in and of It. We are to rejoice evermore.n6649 ¶9
