The Investment of Influence Part 11
Looking forward, let us hope and cleanse all fear out of life--trust G.o.d, love him and rejoice. Even our largest problems need not dispirit us. Problems are not to be a.n.a.lyzed, but accepted. He who a.n.a.lyzes a flower loses it. He who cracks a diamond to see what it is, is without both gem and knowledge. Life's great questions are seeds. Plant a seed, then wait. Some day the flower and fruit will explain the seed.
It is well to lay aside difficult questions to be asked some day at the throne of G.o.d. Then we will look back to smile at what now disturbs us exceedingly. Remember the Russian Cathedral--travelers tell us the din and noise of the crowds thronging under the dome to those above the dome become a strain of soft music. It is good to hope and wait.
Because G.o.d lives and loves, man should enter the future as he enters temple or cathedral--to dedicate all its days to hope and aspiration.
