OUTLINING THE CHANNEL
Question—What do you mean by not outlining or indicating the channel through which good must come?

ANSWER—Not indicating the channel, means that we must not look to one certain place for our good, expecting that it must come from that source only. We must be definite and specific in asking for the manifestation we desire, but we must leave the way of its manifestation to that Mind that knows just how to bring it about. For instance: We will say we want sunshine in the room. If the room is full of windows and we know of the presence of ONLY ONE, we will naturally look to that one only as the avenue through which the sunlight can enter. Consequently the beam of light we receive will be many times smaller than if we recognized that light could (page 130) come through all the windows. Mentally seeing only one channel limits the working out to one place or way of manifestation, whereas if you know all channels are open and trust the way of manifestation to God, and All Good, you have left a free field in which all the agencies necessary to fulfillment may act. Man's business is to set the law in motion. God's business is to outline. Open the door and have an unfailing faith that "Only my good can come to me, and that underneath are the everlasting arms."
