YOU CANNOT HAVE BOTH
You cannot have your cake, and eat it too.
You cannot have peace of mind, and have your ailment too.
You cannot have a sense of divine Love, and have your jittery nervousness too.
You cannot have a feeling of toleration and kindliness and faith, and have your digestive troubles too.
You cannot have harmony continually unfolding in your life, and enjoy gossip and criticism too.
You cannot have power in prayer, and the luxury of resentment and condemnation too.
You cannot build a new consciousness and a new body, and live mentally in the dead past too.
…choose you this day whom ye will serve…but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15).
