THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE

"As far as we enter into the stream of providence, we come into a state of peace. As far as we are in a state of peace, we are in divine providence. Then we will know and believe the divine providence of God is in everything, both in general and in particular." - Emanuel Swedinborg

"When you have a humble heart, you will know that wisdom is perceiving that the things in which you are wise are scarcely anything compared with the things in which you are not wise. -Emanuel Swedenborg

WHAT IS GOOD INTENTIONS?

"There is an old familiar saying, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." This is because to intend a good deed but never to act upon it is actually a failure of goodwill. When we fail to act on our good intentions, we lose the intention itself. Love needs a home in action or will die." - Emanuel Swedenborg

HOW TO BECOME ONE WITH THE LORD

"The more nearly you become one with the Lord, the more distinctly you appear to yourself to be your own master, any yet the more clearly you recognise that you belong to the Lord."- Emanuel Swedenborg

HELL OR HEAVE - WHICH WAY?

"After death everyone enters into the hell or the heaven in which he or she had predominantly chosen to live while in the world." -Emanuel Swedenborg

DRAWING NEAR TO GOD

"So far as you approach and draw near to God, doing so entirely as if of your own accord, so far does God approach and draw near to you, and becomes one with you in your inmost being." - Emanuel Swedenborg

WHAT IS MODERN LIFE?

"Modern life places too much emphasis on the here and now. Though it is important not to focus full attention on a particular time in the distant future, raising our thoughts above time and space toward what is infinite and eternal raises our mind above the whirlwind of temporal life."-Emanuel Swedenborg
