Discover the Power Within You: A Guide to the Unexplored Depths Within

by Eric Butterworth

You do not have to look “out there” to find the Life Principle. “Closer is he than breathing and nearer than hands and feet.”3 The principle is personalized in what Jesus referred to as “The Father within me.” This Life Principle at work in you, and as you, is all-knowingness; “Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of even before ye ask him” (Matt. 6:8). It seeks ever to express and fulfill itself in and through you: “It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). And it is the source of any creative power you may seem to have: “I do nothing of myself…” (John 8:28). “The words I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works” (John 14:10). You can never be separated from God because you are an expression of God, the very self-livingness of God. God cannot forsake you any more than gravity can forsake you. As an expression of God, you are God expressing Himself as you. And your greatest desire should be to let Him have His way. Meister Eckhart had this feeling when he said that God expects only one thing of you, and that is that you should stop thinking of yourself as a created being and let God be God in you.
