Jeremy Godsey February 3 Trouble will make you either bitter or better. Notice how very much alike these words are, and how very little is needed to change them; just the letter I. Yes, dear ones. it is the I that changes the whole matter. When the I keeps out of the question, out of the difficulty, life will be better; but when the I is introduced and we get mixed in the trouble, life will become bitter and we hard. Too many times this I gets in the way; the poor, little, hurt ego gets a slap and down the street he runs, screaming for attention. The dear little ego sits in his doorway and weeps tears of self-pity until his eyes are so red and inflamed that he just cannot see things as they are or should be. It takes a quiet heart, peace of spirit, and clear vision (long range, if you please), to interpret trouble in terms of strength and high living. Little souls, small people, are usually hurt all the time; the ego within is unduly important and consequently is easily hurt or flattered. Such souls have too small a world and hence everything relates directly to the self within. They will have a very difficult time, to say the least. -John Wright Follette 1884-1966 Quote taken from his book “Broken Bread” from the message titled “Trouble—A Servant”.
