M&E Thoughts, Day 5


Morning and evening thoughts, 1908. By James Allen.


Fifth Morning
To dwell in love always and towards all is to live the true life, is to have Life itself.  Knowing this, the good man gives up himself unreservedly to the Spirit of Love, and dwells in Love towards all, contending with none, condemning none, but loving all.
The Christ Spirit of Love puts an end, not only to all sin, but to all division and contention.

Fifth Evening
When sin and self are abandoned, the heart is restored to its imperishable Joy.  Joy comes and fills the self-emptied heart; it abides with the peaceful; its reign is with the pure.
Joy flees from the selfish, it deserts the quarrelsome; it is hidden from the impure.
Joy cannot remain with the selfish; it is wedded to Love.




In 1908, James Allen published "Morning and Evening Thoughts" which consists of short inspirational writings to be read over a period of 31 days.  Due to the age, this text is considered public domain and can be copied and shared freely.  For each day in March, I will post his morning and evening thoughts along with my own commentary.  The intention is to mold my mind and spirit, focusing on positive thinking.  Please feel free to follow along with me now or later and post your own comments attached to each post.
