The industry and commerce of the soul - by Rev Antoinette
Accept that Christ is in you. Trust the Christ within you. Rely on the Christ within you. That is our work.
As we each do this work we see that our individual capacity to express the power of Christ, the strength of Christ, the compassion and love of Christ, grows. And so the Christ becomes more visible, more known. And the inspiration to toil grows greater.
Don't limit your vision of the future and of what is possible. Don't limit your vision of your own future, don't limit your vision of The Centre's future, don't limit your vision of this world's future. Don't take subtle account of age, physical weakness, mental inability, poor circumstances. Past mistakes. Social acceptability. They are all temptations to take you away from the real work of believing in the Christ in you.
