Your Background
Does the argument come to you that you didn’t come from a good family, or have opportunities as someone else? Stand on the fact that you came forth from God; that your background is God Himself.
You came forth from the background of the infinite grandeur of Mind – from the capabilities and capacities of Principle itself; you came forth from the sound and stable foundation of Truth – sincerity, genuineness, fidelity are the very nature of your being.
“Thou art Truth’s honest child, Of pure and sinless heart;” (Hymn #382)
You came forth from, and are the substance of Spirit; you are the loved of God. Your whole background is the background of Love, and Love only; and there never has been, and can never be, a power that can change the status of Love’s child. You emerged from the background of radiance and beauty. You were made of the inspiration and stimulation of Soul; Life eternal is your life. You were not created delicate or weak or with a predisposition to take cold and have indigestion. You were created of Life-substance, and Life can never be less than vigorous and warm and energetic and spontaneous. You are Life expressing itself; then there is never anything less than life in your being. Your sense, faculties, and functions are operated by Life, Principle, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Truth, Love.
