"MAN has faculties by which he perceives God, duty, and immortality. But these faculties must be exercised, or they lose their power. The more we exercise the spiritual faculty, the more certain do spiritual things become. He who habitually obeys conscience sees more and more clearly the eternal distinction between right and wrong. To him who constantly looks forward with trust to a future life, immortality becomes more and more certain. The pure in heart who habitually look up to a heavenly ideal of goodness see God more and more. He who trusts in Providence comes to stand so firmly on that rock that no doubt can disturb, no disappointment shake his confidence that all things are working together for ultimate good. If a man does not use his spiritual powers, he gradually loses them."
Blessings
