Excerpt from Introduciton, “This is not a book. This is a conversation about your journey in life. It is a conversation with yourself, family, friends, your soul, and God. This conversation, utilizing twenty-five centuries of wisdom, will direct you on a new course. A course that will follow a different path and lead you to a new destination. One step at a time, one day at a time, this new path will create new habits and disciplines in you. You will finally have total control and responsibility of your life. It will not be easy, and it will never end. You will be guided and protected as you walk this path. Your Vision, with new purpose and meaning, will bring you happiness and peace along your journey.”

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I…
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Want to be a better man? Love Jesus. And, if you love Him, you will obey Him.
In Galatians 5, Paul tells us that the fruits of sin (not obeying God) are the opposite of the fruits of the Spirit. In other words, loving God and obeying Him leads to the Holy Spirit working in us.
God’s Holy Spirit working in you has a radical impact. The Bible says it leads us to love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control—all the things we want! When I notice that I am not being the man I want to be—when I’m short with my wife, impatient with my kids, unkind, selfish an harsh—trying harder to be a nice guy never seems to work. Instead, when I repent— confess my shortcomings to God and ask Him to help me love Jesus more than anything else—He responds. His Holy Spirit works in me and changes me. And He can change you too.

“Love God and do what you want,” said St. Augustine, perhaps the greatest theologian that has ever walked the face of the earth.
Augustine understood Jesus. When asked what the greatest commandment was, Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 6:5. Augustine was merely paraphrasing Jesus. When you do love God this way, you will want to do everything that God wants you to do. Loving God with the totality of your being leads to obeying Him in the same way. It’s performance out of the overflow of relationship— not the other way around. Obeying God so that He will love you is making God’s actions dependent on yours. That’s an approach that is perfectly designed to produce either pride or guilt.
Christianity is loving God with everything you’ve got—it’s a system perfectly designed to produce obedience. So go ahead: Love God and do what you want. If you really love Him, ou’ll want to do what He wants!

Why is it so hard to do the things you want
to do or to be the man you want to be?
Nearly every man wants to be a better man,
a better husband or a better father. Yet too
often, we simply don’t execute.
You didn’t wake up this morning wanting
to be a worse man, a worse husband
or a worse father. If you did, you certainly
wouldn’t be reading a devotional magazine!
Yet, even though you want to be better, and
even though you have a good picture
of what that might look
like, you (and I) still don’t measure up to
our own standards. So what is the problem?
The problem isn’t not knowing what to do
(information); it’s not knowing how to do
it (power). If we are going to become the
men God wants us to be, it will not be in
our own strength. Paul shared our struggle:
“What a wretched man I am! Who
will rescue me from this body of death?”
(Romans 7:24). The answer: “Thanks be to
God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (vv.
24–25). Power comes through loving and
obeying Jesus Christ. MIMBS 5

Spend some time asking God to give you His
power through Jesus Christ. In what areas of
your life do you need more of His power?

To give the reins to inclination is the only slavery ; to conquer oneself is the only freedom. The slave to self loves his chains, and will not have one of them broken for fear he would be depriving himself of some cherished delight. He thus defeats and enslaves himself.

The Land of Perfect Freedom lies through the Gate of Knowledge.

The way to Love is by self-mastery, and, travelling that way, a man builds himself up in Knowledge as he proceeds. Arriving at Love, he enters into full possession of body and mind, by right of the divine Power which he has earned. ” Perfect Love casteth out fear.”

Perfect Love is perfect Harmlessness. And he who has destroyed in himself all thoughts of harm, and all desire to harm, receives the universal protection.

THE Children of Light who abide in the Kingdom of Heaven see the universe, and all that it contains, as the manifestation of one Law—the Law of Love. They see Love as the moulding, sustaining, protecting, and perfecting Power immanent in all things animate and inanimate. To them Love is not merely and only a rule of life, it is the Law of life, it is Life itself. Knowing this, they order their whole life in accordance with Love, not regarding their own personality. By thus practising obedience to the Highest, to divine Love, they become conscious partakers of the power of Love, and so arrive at perfect Freedom as Masters of Destiny. Love is Perfect Harmony, pure bliss, and contains, therefore, no element of suffering. Let a man think no thought and do no act that is not in accordance with pure Love, and suffering shall no more trouble him.

Love is the only preserving power.

The righteous man having nothing to hide, committing no acts which require stealth, and harbouring no thoughts and desires which he would not like others to know, is fearless and unashamed. His step is firm, his body upright, and his speech direct and without ambiguity. He looks everybody in the face. How can he be ashamed before any who deceives none ?

Ceasing from all wrong you can never be wronged ; ceasing from all deceit you can never be deceived.

“Oh, that You would bless me indeed, “

and enlarge my territory,

that Your hand would be with me,

and that You would keep me from evil,

that I may not cause pain!
