THE FINE
He is the vine, He is the life,
There is a boundless flow.
Oh infinite love that calls to me,
His wondrous grace to know.
Realize that somehow, in some
wonderful and miraculous way,
the love of God is continuously
flowing into your mind, emotions,
and body, touching all with life-
giving power and renewal.
Let go! Let God's love do the
work! Give that love an opportun
ity to work through you and your
life and affairs. Take the time
needed to "consider" again and
again the miracle-working love of
your Father. Continue until you
find yourself accepting it more
and more naturally. Results will
speak for themselves. You will be
encouraged to find new aware
ness of God’s presence and new
comprehension of God s spirit
moving within you.
Do not try to understand how
this is happening or the means by
which the answers will follow.
Just — for this time — be willing tc
accept being loved. Take no
thought — just “consider“ the
presence and power of God s
love. Letting go, you will let divine
love harmonize the feelings
within your heart, the thoughts
within your mind, the functions
within your body, and the ac
tivities and relationships within
your life.
A friend who experienced this
process of love said that through
“letting go and letting God's love
do the work,” pains that previ
ously had defied all treatment to
tally disappeared. A long
standing. unhappy feeling that
had "ruined a fine friendship" was
suddenly dissolved and the way
was opened to communication
and easy resolution of difficulties.
Another wrote, “ I think the har
dest thing of all for me has been
letting go.” This man had been
involved in an automobile a
obile accident some years before
and was considered the worst
case ever brought into the
emergency room. Through his
own growing understanding of
letting go and letting God do the
work, there was a complete and
miraculous healing that as
tounded the neurosurgeon. The
patient, prayerfully and persis
tently learning to walk and talk
again, is now in his second year

Rev. Pastor Charles Hill
True
love within you. This way the key
to the miraculous ministry of
Jesus of Nazareth.
In Jesus' own long quiet times
of listening within, He let go of the
problems and became attentive
to the Father’s love. He let go and
let God’s love do the work. He let
go of trying to humanly supply
and fill the lacks and urgent
needs of others by letting God’s
love take over and do the work.
He let go of those who constantly
failed Him and of those who de
nied or ridiculed Him. He gave
them all to the Father’s love for
right outworkings.
Jesus gave His days and
nights, words and actions,
thoughts and feelings, prayers
and teachings to the Father,
knowing that the Father through
miracle-working love could do the
work freely. He gave himself
mentally, emotionally, and physi
cally to that same wonderful love
and became the visible example
of love in action that overcame
every limitation of humankind. He
came to demonstrate that this is
what happens when we turn
away from burdensome thinking
and struggling to the quietness of
letting go and letting God and His
love do the work.
The love of God is greater
than any opposition, any ap
pearance of evil, AND ANY
CLAIM OF LIMITATION. The
love of God is your safety, your
security, your guide, your com
fort, your assurance, your clear
vision, your accomplishment,
your peace, and your light for
every path of life.
"A warm spirit of fellowship always”
18th Anniversary
From
as a proofreader with a publisher
of law cases. He is following the
continuing dream of a career —
letting go and letting God con
tinue to do the work!
“ Divine love is the force.. that
smoothes out every obstacle that
presents itself,", wrote Charles
Fillmore. Yes, dear friend, it is the
strongest smoothing-out force in
and throughout the universe. It is
a nurturing life activity,
miracle-working movement that
reveals and illumines, restores
and rebuilds, vitalizes and em
powers your growing awareness
of oneness with the Father and
with His Presence everywhere
and in everything.
Not long ago, a young basket
ball player who was being inter
viewed on television was asked
how he felt about the acclaim he
had received because of the
amazing flying leaps he per
formed in putting the ball into the
basket. The response came with
a bright smile, "I don’t really know
that I am doing that. It’s just such
a great thing to play basketball."
Film was shown following the in
terview of this young athlete who
seemed to walk on air as he
leaped toward the goal.
This amazing and joyful per
formance is symbolic of the pro
cess of letting go and letting
something above and beyond the
normal human ability take over.
There is a superceding of one
self, a rising aboe the statements
of what can be done or has been
done. There is a point of joyous
knowing that there is a greater
sufficiency within the soul and
mind and body of any person than
he or she ordinarily takes time to
perceive. This is what Jesus
pointed out to His listeners who
sought healing, supply, peace,
and happiness. He told them the
way to “ seek first his kingdom"
(Matt. 6:33) so that all else may
be added.
Letting go and letting love do
the work within you and within
your life is seeking the kingdom.
It is learning to stop giving
habitual power to limited apper-
ances and learning to begin turn
ing to the Father's kingdom of

He is the vine, I can depend

Let Go! Let God’s Love Do the Work!
by Mary L. Kipferle
Let go, dear friend, and let
God's love do the work. Give up
all striving and struggling to ac
complish. Whatever has been dif
ficult for you to handle, hard for
you to release, or impossible for
you to solve can be given to the
loving Father. God s love will do
the work and bring about the heal
ing, the answer, the blessing you
cannot accomplish of yourself.
Let go! Let God’s love — God s
love — do the work!
God has created this beau
tifu l universe and knows how
to help you surmount any
doubt or disbelief. God’s love
has fashioned you and has
given you infinite wisdom that
you can call on, unlim ited
peace that you can accept,
and unceasing goodness that
you can experience,
about a delay in receiving a phys
ical healing, turn this specific
challenge over to-the love of the
Father. Tell yourself, “ I let go ano
let God’s love do the work.’’ Ac
cept the help of that love. Let it
think through you. Give up the be
lief that you must struggle and
fight your way through any chal
lenge. Let the Father take over.
Put all in the light of love. Again
and again, let go and let God s
love do the work!
To help yourself begin the pro
cess of letting go and letting
God's love do the work, take a
few minutes now and daily — as
often as needed — to consciously
assume a quiet, receptive state of
being. You are physically quiet as
you turn your thoughts to the
Master's words, “ Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow
. . . (Matt. 6:28), and relax every
muscle of your body in readiness
to receive.
Patiently wait upon the
Father's love as a growing plant
waits upon the light of the morn
ing sun. “ Consider" how the rays
of light and warmth enfold a plant
and move down through the
leaves and stalk into the roots
within the soil. Think about the
invisible working of the sunlight,
reaching to the depths of the plant
and encouraging its growth,
strength, and enfoldment.
by Mattie Ann Callier-Spears
He is the vine, Himself He gives-
His riches too, full and free.
To His bosom with open arms
In His welcome to me.
He is the vine, Oh blessed
thought,
Grafted to His wounded side.
His strong love ever holds me
fast
In Him I do abide.
