Her Enemies Were Hurt and Resentment - Florence Scovel Shinn
Editor's Note: This is an excerpt from The Power of the Spoken Word by Florence Scovel Shinn.
Only Active Faith Impresses the Subconscious
It is exactly what I say, over and over again—only active Faith impresses the subconscious, and unless you impress the subconscious, there are no results.
Her Heart's Desire Was Her Right Marriage and Happy Home
I will now give you an example to show you just how the law works. A woman came to me whose heart's desire was her right marriage and happy home. She was very fond of a certain man, but he was a most difficult person. After having shown her every attention and devotion, he suddenly changed, and dropped out of her life.
She was unhappy, resentful and discouraged. I said, "Now this is the time to prepare for your happy home! Buy little things for it as if you hadn't a minute to spare." She became quite interested in shopping for her happy home, when all appearances were against it.
Become Immune to Resentment and Unhappiness
"Now," I said, "you'll have to perfect yourself on the situation and become immune to all resentment and unhappiness." I gave her the statement: "I am now immune to all hurt and resentment: my poise is built upon a rock, the Christ within." I said, "When you are immune to all hurt and resentment, this man will be given you or his equivalent." It took many months, when one evening she came to see me and said, "I have only the kindest and most friendly feelings for this man. If he isn't the Divine selection, I would be happy without him."
Her Happy Home Had Been Built Around Her Active Faith
Not long after, she happened to meet the man. He was so sorry for the way he had acted. He begged her to forgive him. Not long after, they were married and a happy home came into manifestation. It had built itself around her active Faith.
Linked With God Power, All Opposition Vanished
Your only enemies are within yourself. The woman's enemies were "hurt" and "resentment." They are indeed "serpents and scorpions." Many lives have been wrecked by these two enemies. Linked with God-power, all opposition vanished from this woman's life. Nothing could by any means hurt her.
A Life Free From All Unhappy Experiences
Think what that means, to have a life free from all unhappy experiences. It is done through making a conscious contact with God-power every instant.
