March 4 – AM          Page 63, How It Works, Chapter 5

When we sincerely took such a position, all sorts of remarkable things followed.  We had a new Employer.  Being all powerful, He provided what we needed, if we kept close to Him and performed His work well.  Established on such a footing we became less and less interested in ourselves, our little plans and designs.  More and more we became interested in seeing what we could contribute to life.  As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind, as we discovered we could face life successfully, as we became conscious of His presence, we began to lose our fear of today, tomorrow or the hereafter.  We were reborn.

We don’t use this as an excuse for shying away from the subject of God.  When it will serve any good purpose, we are willing to announce our convictions with tact and common sense.  The question of how to approach the man we hated will arise.  It may be he has  done us more harm than we have done him and, though we may have acquired a better attitude toward him, we are still not too keen about admitting our faults.  Nevertheless, with a person we dislike, we take the bit in our teeth.  It is harder to go to an enemy than to a friend, but we find it much more beneficial to us.  We go to him in a helpful and forgiving spirit, confessing our former ill feeling and expressing our regret.
