Lessons in Truth Quotes

“No matter how evil circumstances may appear, or how much it may seem that some other personality is at the foundation of your sorrow or trouble, God, good, good alone, is really there when you call His law into expression. 35. If we have the courage to persist in seeing only God in it all, even "the wrath of man" (Ps. 76:10) shall be invariably turned to our advantage. Joseph, in speaking of the action of his brethren in selling him into slavery, said, "As for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good" (Gen. 50:20). To them that love God, "all things work together for good" (Rom. 8:28), or to them who recognize only God.
All things! The very circumstances in your life that seem heartbreaking evils will turn to joy before your very eyes if you will steadfastly refuse to see anything but God in them.”

“Hitherto we have turned our heart and efforts toward the external for fulfillment of our desires and for satisfaction, and we have been grievously disappointed. The hunger of everyone for satisfaction is only the cry of the homesick child for its Father-Mother God. It is only the Spirit's desire in us to come forth into our consciousness as more and more perfection, until we shall have become fully conscious of our oneness with All-perfection. Man never has been and never can be satisfied with anything less.”

“God is wisdom and intelligence. All the wisdom and intelligence that we see in the universe is God, is wisdom projected through a visible form. To educate (from educare, to lead forth) never means to force into from the outside, but always means to draw out from within something already existing there. God as infinite wisdom lies within every human being, only waiting to be led forth into manifestation. This is true education.”

“We must forgive as we would be forgiven. To forgive does not simply mean to arrive at a place of indifference to those who do personal injury to us; it means far more than this. To forgive is to give for--to give some actual, definite good in return for evil given. One may say: "I have not a personal enemy in the world." And yet if, under any circumstances, any kind of "serves-him-right" thought springs up within you over anything that any of God’s children may do or suffer, you have not yet learned how to forgive.”

“Emerson says, "This Energy" (or consciousness
of God in the soul) " does not descend into individual life on any other condition than entire possession. It comes to the lowly and simple; it comes to whomsoever will put off what is foreign and proud; it comes as insight; it comes as serenity and grandeur.”

“Now, if you want to know how to avoid being overcome and thrown off your feet by the strong personality of others I will tell you.
Always remember that personality is of the mortal, and Individuality is of God. Silently affirm your own Individuality, your oneness with God, and your superiority to all personality.”

“Remember this. Desire in the heart for anything is God's sure promise sent beforehand to indicate that it is yours already, in the limitless realm of supply. And whatever you want you can have for the taking.”
― H. Emilie Cady, Lessons in Truth

“Desire in the heart is always God tapping at the door of your consciousness with His infinite supply,-a supply which is forever useless unless there be demand for it. "Before you call I will answer." [Isaiah 65:24].”

“In other words the supply of every good always somewhere awaits the demand. Another truth or fact is that the demand must be made before the supply can come forth to fill it. To recognize these two statements as truth, and to affirm them, is the whole secret of Understanding Faith; faith based on principle or Understanding.”

“God, the invisible Substance out of which all visible things are formed, though unseen by these mortal eyes, is all around us waiting to come forth into visible manifestation.”

“One may so desire a partial revelation of God within himself, a revelation along one line--as, for instance, that of health--as to seek it with all his heart. And if he has learned how to take the desired gift, by uncompromising affirmation that it is his already, he will get understanding, or realization, of God as his perfect health.”

“One's individuality is that part of one that never changes its identity. It is the God self. It is that which distinguishes one person from another. One's personality may become like that of others with whom one associates. Individuality never changes.”

“Hitherto we have believed that we were helped and comforted by others, that we received joy from outside circumstances and surroundings; but it is not so. All joy and strength and good spring up from a fountain within one's own being; and if we only knew this truth we should know that, because God in us is the fountain out of which springs all our good, nothing that anyone does or says, or fails to do or say, can take away our joy and good.”
