"You
have wandered
away from your teachings. You must concentrate on your spiritual
teachings...Don't be sidetracked."
Henry Quick Bear Lakota
When
we developed still more, we discovered the best possible source of
emotional
stability to be God Himself. We found that dependence upon His perfect
justice,
forgiveness, and love was healthy, and that it would work where nothing
else
would. If we really depended upon God, we couldn't very well play God
to our
fellows nor would we feel the urge wholly to rely on human protection
and care.
These were the new attitudes that finally brought many of us an inner
strength
and peace that could not be deeply shaken by the shortcomings of others
or by
calamity not of our own making.
