one can wound my self-love for I have none to wound. I am not stiff-necked and rebellious, I am meek with the meekness of Christ.
No one can smite, or buffet me; they can but strike mistakenly at themselves. lf any soul believes itself to have this desire, in the light of the Christ-likeness it shall see its error.
The lion and tiger in me are redeemed. Their strength is taken up to a higher plane and use.
They no longer prey upon and devour me, they minister unto me.
I use them for ail there is in them worthy of perpetuation.
What is unworthy I leave behind and know no more.
They lie down in peace together because I have made peace with them.
I war no longer with my divine nature.
I let it have its way with me. while I give unto God all the glory.
I open my heart to the heavenly Christ.
His glory shines in and through me. No impatience and anger can live in his presence.
