There are three things necessary to the realization of any desire:

I. The understanding that desire itself is God given, that it is the divine urge along higher paths.

II. The knowledge that God is the sum and substance of every imaginable good, which we desire now, or ever can desire.

III. The belief that God is willing—even determined—to pour all good into our lives now, as well as in the infinite reaches of the future.

Florence Morse Kingsley (1859 – 1937) was an American author of popular and religious fiction.
