It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again! 

At any time in life, at any place in your experience, you can make a new start.

Most of us, at some time, have felt that our life is at the end of things, that somehow everything that was steadfast and good has sort of crumbled around us.

I have counseled with many people who have experienced these feelings of despair, discouragement and loss. I, too, have felt those feelings at certain times in my own life.

This experience is not, as we often think when it happens to us, peculiar to ourselves. It is common to many persons. It is also through such experiences that we often come to new beginnings.

Whether you are facing discouragement or despair, or you simply have a strong desire to take as new hold on life, I want to give you the encouragement and the vision which will make a new beginning possible for you.

Napoleon Hill, celebrated author of the book Think and Grow Rich, made an important point in regard to our approach to any situation or problem we encounter. He says that we must use “accurate thinking.”

We may relate this to Jesus’ admonition to “seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness,” where righteousness refers to right use of thought, or “accurate thinking.”

Human logic, looking at the facts, says “there is no way that I can ever recover from this or have a good life.” Through human logic, the need is to get the facts.

In spiritual logic, the need is to know the Truth or get back to the principle. Then we can think through things in a spiritually logical manner.

 

Using Spiritual Logic

One of the great fundamental principles of Truth is that “There is only One Presence and One Power in all the Universe, God, the good, omnipotent.” God is where I am, and God is what I need – no matter what the circumstance.

So to what extent can we really make a new beginning?

Walter Malone, in his poem Opportunity, expressed a great truth when he said, “At sunrise, every soul is born again.” In other words, we are always at the threshold of opportunity.

Do you grasp the opportunity of taking a new lease on life at the beginning of each new day?

In order to do this, you may have to change your entire viewpoint.

You may need to reconstruct your faith, your philosophy of life.

You may need to get a whole new concept of God, of what and where God is, and of yourself and your relation to God.

You may need to discipline your thinking in a way you’ve never done before.

You may need to see your world, your life, your environment and your associates in an entirely new light.

Always, the need is for spiritual logic. The key to accurate thinking is to use spiritual logic, to return to the principle, then starting with the principle think things through to a logical conclusion.

You may say, “I can’t do this because I know my limitations.” But do you know your strengths? The limitations are simply concealment of strength. What you have done is never a valid measure of what you can do.

What is the principle? It is that you are created in God’s image-likeness, and you have been given dominion over all the earth. You can be all things through the power of God within you, for “with God, all things are possible.”

God is Blessing You, Right Now!
