Genuine and permanent satisfaction comes as we turn toward and discover the inner kingdom.

An ambitious king pleaded with his geographers to discover a new land for conquest. The famous geographers failed, but an obscure scholar succeeded. The scholar told the monarch about the inner kingdom. Astonished and pleased, the king turned toward self-conquest.

Like that enlightened monarch, we must wish to venture beyond the visible world we may now take as the only world. The very wish is energy expended in the right direction. Once catching our first glimpse of a greater world, we no longer wish to remain within the old boundaries. We are urged onward by something higher than ourselves. This is an inspiring urge we should follow gladly. VH

I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation. Not one mistake stands in our way. For we have been absolved from errors. All our sins are washed away by realizing they were but mistakes.
 Lesson for April 8^th, 2013

Proverbs 11:17. A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble.

You can reason wisely. If you are full of love, you will master multitudes. Love you must learn to mix with your thoughts. Keep this text: "Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, and I will heal him." EmmaCurtisHopkins
