“I Overcome Hate with Love"

"I know that there is but One Power in the universe and that Power is God. That Power manifests in and through all form, all people, all conditions, and so is at the very center of my being. This Power is Life Itself, and Its nature is Love—All-Good. I know that just as light dissipates darkness, just as heat warms the atmosphere, so a consciousness of good overcomes evil. I know that Good constitutes the only Power, Presence, and Law, and the knowledge of Good, which is the knowledge of Love, overcomes evil, dissipates it, obliterates it, blots it out. I refuse to think of hate or any negation as a power, and I know that it will flee from me. Its dissolution is its flight . . . it disappears. Hate cannot exist where love is recognized. Knowing that Good alone is real, I turn the searchlight of Eternal Truth upon every so-called evil in my experience, and these dark places of imagination are instantly dissolved into light. The dissolution of evil is complete; the manifestation of good is perfect. I know that Love protects Its own, and now It makes clear the way before me, eliminating everything that looked like hate. I am guided into an ever-widening unfoldment of being, and my every thought, feeling, and act is an expression of the God-Nature—Love—through me. Continuously, I overcome hate with love.”
