Your Purpose Is Right in Front of You

“There are no mistakes, and it is not a mistake that you were given birth. You have been sent here on a mission -- the mission of your lifetime. Discovering your purpose in life isn’t something you will one day happen upon. Your purpose is right in front of you every day, and it’s been patiently awaiting your recognition.” – Dr. Dennis Merritt Jones

I Was Told to Live
—Ernest Holmes

By some inner mystic Presence,
I was told to live and to love, to laugh and to be glad.

I was told to be still and know of the One Almighty Power, in and through all.
I was told to let that Power work through and in me.
I believed that voice, and I received my Good.
I am healed.

This is an excerpt from “The Science of Mind,” written by spiritual visionary Dr. Ernest Holmes. Read more in the May 2016 issue of Guide for Spiritual Living: Science of Mind magazine.
