Prosperity Begins at Home
CHAPTER IX
EVERY HOUSEHOLD can prove itself a center of the expression of God’s prosperity, no matter how small its beginning may be. As a mighty oak is but a spindling twig at first but, through faith in itself and the loving encouragement and protection of nature, becomes the tower of strength that is the admiration of all who behold it, so one’s spiritual demonstration of prosperity may seem a weakling at first, But if you temper the wind of the fierce race suggestions of the reality of poverty and keep your faith steadily centered in the rich God life that dwells within you, your prosperity will prove itself an established presence that no fluctuations among the nations or untrueness among individuals can move or destroy. Your wealth, like your health, will be eternal.
SELFISHNESS MUST PASS AWAY
But let no home work for itself alone and neg- - lect its neighbor. For the joy of demonstrating God’s presence in any form is that the consciousness of this presence can be given to our world. Sometimes in order to come to one’s individual expression of prosperity one must consider one’s world first; for there is always a stage where selfishness must pass away
