Letter 4489
What has changed in me?
Where before I was afraid, I have learned to act even when frightened.
Where before I thought only of my own aims, I try now to think of others.
Where before I held resentments, I seek to bring harmony.
❖
These gentle changes, wrought solely in my thinking, do they constitute anything more than normal growth? I am older now than I was, ought I not expect to gain in wisdom?
Yet these changes make great impacts in my actions and in the world’s response. When I bring peace, the world offers it back.
Revolutions in thought.
Thank you, Lord.
Consider:
Can I recognize my changed thinking?
