I sometimes shy away from telling others of the power of God in my life. Why is this? Is it personal pride, not wanting to appear superstitious or unsophisticated? Is it fear that my conception of God might be misunderstood? Am I afraid I might alienate listeners because of their existing prejudices? Whatever the reason, it is a mistake; because the spiritual message of the Truth of God and the saving Grace of devotion are not mine. I did not invent it. I am simply a vessel by which the Word is known. I can only spread the seed, the ground on which it falls and the conditions which nurture it into fruition are not my concern. Mistaken pride prevents me from being of service to others.
