Irrigation of the Dry Places of Life

"One can say to oneself every day, "I am a fountain of Life, and the living waters of God flow through me." One can say to oneself, "I will express joy today. I will be happy. I will bring gladness and enthusiasm into every experience of my life. I will maintain a quiet confidence and peace and a sense of serenity. And I will be glad for the achievement of others and rejoice in their success." One can learn to love people if one wishes to.

It is this kind of thinking that irrigates the dry places of life and brings laughter and joy into everything we do. It can bring health and freedom in place of sickness and bondage. It can bring abundance and prosperity where there there might have been impoverishment.
