LIFE is a reflex of mental states. As far as you are concerned, the character that things will bear will be the character that you first impress upon them.
Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you. If you put your condemnation upon anything in life, it will hit back at you and hurt you. If you bless any situation, it has no power to hurt you, and even if it is troublesome for a time it will gradually fade out—if you sincerely bless it.
We are told, you remember, that whatever name Adam gave to an animal—that was its name; and of course you know that the name of a thing means its character.
Adam said to one animal, “You are a tiger, ferocious,” and so it was.
To another, he said, “You are a gazelle, gentle and kind,” and so it was.
Now, Adam is Every man, and until we learn to give good names, to “christen‖ everything, we shall have enemies of
various kinds to deal with.
Bless your body. If there is anything wrong with a particular organ, bless that organ. (Of course, you must bless the organ and not the disease.) Bless your home. Bless your business. Bless your associates.
Turn any seeming enemies into friends by blessing them. Bless the climate. Bless the town, and the state, and the country.
Bless a thing and it will bless you
