Daily meditation, May 21st: James Allen

The Kingdom of Heaven is perfect trust, perfect knowledge, perfect peace.

MAY TWENTY - FIRST

THE children of the Kingdom are known by their life. They manliest the fruits of the Spirit — "love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance, self-control" — under all circumstances and vicissitudes. They are entirely free from anger, fear, suspicion, jealousy, caprice, anxiety, and grief. Living in the Righteousness of God, they manifest qualities which are the very reverse of those which obtain in the world, and which are regarded by the world as foolish. They demand no rights; they do not defend themselves; do not retaliate; do good to those who attempt to injure them; manifest the same gentle spirit towards those who oppose and attack them, as towards those who agree with them; do not pass judgment on others; condemn no man and no system, and live at peace with all.

That Kingdom is in the heart of every man and woman.
