Today's talk was edited and adapted from Invincible Power by John Henry Remmers, published in 1922.

Today I would like to talk about love. Jesus said to love thy neighbor as yourself. Many people

find that a difficult thing to do. But have you ever, in all sincerity, tried it? If not,

then for your own welfare and happiness do so. Begin by forgetting their faults, seeking their good qualities only,

and wishing them well. It is not so easy in the beginning to do this, but be determined

and through faith give love a trial and chance. And as time passes, you will be surprised

by the results of your own thoughts. A reaction actually takes place. You will begin to feel

bigger, better, happier than you ever felt in all your life.

Those things that others did that annoyed you before

will hardly receive your attention now,

and you will smile where you frown before,

and in this manner you grow above and beyond yourself.

Having lifted yourself above those things which formally annoyed you, you are no longer a

field for their destructive action.
