One of the natural tendencies of the mortal mind is toward proselyting. The moment we believe something to be true, we begin to try to convert others to our belief. We learn to say, with some degree of realization, “God worketh in me to will and to do of His good pleasure,” but we quite forget that the same God is working equally in our brother “to will and to do.” “I am the door,” says the Christ within every man’s own soul. Now you are trying to have your dear one enter in through your door. He must enter in through his own Christ, his own desire.
