Adversity

Adversity

Angel T-Shirt for Women
In the youthful moments of triumph when you knew the race was to be won, you found one kind of satisfaction. In the hilarious confidence which came through successful attainment you found another. The serenity which came from a sense of security was still another. Now, when many things are seemingly turned against you, you are faced with the age-old antagonist which is called:
Adversity
It has been met before.
In facing realities out there with your physical and outer consciousness you are challenged with old humors, fears, dismays and your world is frozen into immobility. In this adventure, where you have barely crossed the threshold, much preparation which may have seemed slow and useless has taken place. Listen then, listen and receive. Face your enemy with your outer selves. Do not think, listen. Listen and repeat these words — put them in your mouth and blow them like a clarion, high and sweet and clear to the four corners.
“My kingdom is not of this world. I will abide in my kingdom and as the day follows the night my kingdom shall be made manifest and my outward life shall straighten and fall into a divine mold.”
You do not see the immediate manifestation because you are still children, and as a child’s destiny is locked in its breast, so you, by this spiritual communion are unlocking prisons that you are unaware of in material life. Blind as you are to the immediate development you should see clearly the happy radiance of your freedom from the laws of your outer worldliness. Through obedience you can find dominion, so do not waste your time in outward fret. You have not been prepared for that form of activity. Through spiritual loyalty and heavenly enthusiasm you can be prepared for the kingdom of happiness upon this tortured and suffering earth. Indeed he will “give you beauty for ashes.”
This is to remind you that he who is God’s anointed shall nevermore quail. Give me your hands and repeat these words:
“Blessed Savior here I stand and here I reaffirm my vow with all the strength of my body, my soul, my mind; I vow that I will put thee first, that I will endeavor to bring my thought, my brain, my heart, my very flesh and blood to the instant realization of thy actual holy presence within me. I dedicate myself to the realization of you, my Redeemer, my Comforter, in every action of the day or night. I vow that I will challenge every experience that comes to meet me; my whole life I dedicate to the realization of thy word. I vow to keep my body pure, by mind sweet and ready for thy intent, knowing that I rest in thy immortal love.”
