Written by Thomas Kelly {1893-1941), an American educator and author. This is an excerpt from his book “Testament of Devotion.”
There is a way of ordering our mental life on more than one level at once. On one level we may be thinking, discussing, seeing, calculating, meeting all the demands of external affairs. But deep within we may also be in prayer and adoration, song and worship and a gentle receptiveness to divine breathings. For the religious man is forever bringing all affairs of the first level down into the Light, holding them there in the Presence, reseeing them and the whole of the world of men and things in a new and overturning way, and responding to them in spontaneous, incisive, and simple ways of love and faith.
Fix your eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. [2 Corinthians 4:18]
