Let us lay hold of faith.
What profit is it to us to gain a firm hold on life, if we hold it blindly, without any light on the meaning of our present condition, or the character of our future destiny? Faith holds the key to the blessedness of the eternal life. Faith opens the gate of pearl, and lets us in.
Strong, serene, unquenchable faith in the loving-kindness, the wisdom, the guidance, and the redeeming love of God, will enable us to look fearlessly toward the end of the temporal existence and the beginning of the eternal, and will make it possible for us to live our lives effectively, grandly!
Let go the unworthy things that meet us—pretence, worry, discontent and self-seeking; and take loyal hold of time, work, present happiness, love, duty, friendship, sorrow, and faith, so we can live in all true humanness as to be an inspiration, strength, and blessing to those whose lives are touched by ours!
