Staying Young in Spirit
The Vital Role of Faith Ernest Holmes/Ron
Alexander
The person who grows older in years without the inward expectation and assurance that he is going to live somewhere forever, will find the last part of his life burdened with thoughts of yesterday. Let us make up our minds that yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not arrived. But today can be filled with wonder, if we know that we stand on the threshold of that which is wonderful and new.(Ernest Holmes)
A sense of
wonder is essential to feeling young. Staying active with a sense of purpose
are two other necessary ingredients for a youthful attitude. However, without
the knowledge, that we are going to live forever somewhere, while being at one
with a Power greater than ourselves, we cannot remain young and enthusiastic.
We have to
have faith in that a powerful internal Spirit is the Essence of our being, and
that IT never dies. I like to call this Spirit LOVE and we are one with God’s
LOVE. And LOVE is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and omnipresent (everywhere). Some like to call
Spirit – omniparent (Parent Mind – God as our Parent). We are all beloved
children of God.
Simply to
reassure myself when having doubt, I place my hand over my heart and say “God’s
Love is right here, right now.”
