Do not be afraid, "for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline" (2 Tim. 1:7).

It is all one and the same Spirit. To be the greatest success, you do not want my gift, nor do I want yours; each wants his own, such as will fit his size and shape, his capacity and desires, such as not the human mind of us, but the highest in us, shall choose. Seek to be filled with Spirit, to have the reality of things incarnated in larger degree in your consciousness. Spirit will reveal to your understanding your own specific gift, or the manner of God's desired manifestation through you.

Let us not desert our own work, our own God within us, to gaze or pattern after our neighbor. Let us not seek to make his gift ours; let us not criticize his failure to manifest any specific gift. Whenever he "fails," give thanks to God that He is leading him into a higher place, where there can be a fuller and more complete manifestation of the divine Presence through him.

And "I ... beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (Eph. 4:1-3).

There must be more incorporating of Truth in our very flesh and bone.

How are you to do this?

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (Jn. 14:6), says the Christ at the center of your being.

"I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide [consciously] in me and I in them [in His consciousness], bear much fruit, because apart from me [or severed from me in your consciousness] you can do nothing.... If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you" (Jn. 15:5, 7).

I do assure you, as do all teachers, that you can bring good things of whatever kind you desire into your life by holding to them as yours in the invisible until they become manifest.

But, beloved, do you not see that your highest, your first --- aye, your continual --- thought should be to seek the abiding in Him, to seek the knowing as a living reality, not as a finespun theory that He abides in you? After that, ask what you will, be it power to heal, to cast out demons, or even the "greater works" (Jn. 14:12), and "it shall be done unto you" (Jn. 15:7).

There is one Spirit--"One God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all. But unto each one of us was the grace (or free gift) given according to the measure of the gift of Christ" in us (Eph. 4:6,7).

"For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee" (2 Tim. 1:6).
