“– He has struck something better than gold –”
\n“He may not see at once that he has barely scratched a limitless lode which will pay dividends only if he mines it of the rest of his life and insists on giving away the entire product.” 129:0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This reminds me of the Neil Young song, “Heart of Gold”. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold. It’s these expressions that keep me searching for a heart of gold.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This speaks to me personally. \u00a0I wrote in the margin of my second edition study, “Whatever comes from the life I live chasing or “mining” for a heart of gold must be my humble offering to God. \u00a0“Expressions keep me searching”, the process of recognition.”
\nFor me it means that I bear fruit not for myself but for others as God see’s fit. \u00a0All the obstacles I overcome are not for my glory but for others through the works that God will perform through me. \u00a0I am simply a miner, a humble servant, the vessel of God. \u00a0When I make known my feelings and\u00a0acknowledge\u00a0my thoughts recognition of self takes place through a process of expression. \u00a0<\/strong>This expression keeps me searching and fearless, especially when I place my confidence in God. \u00a0When I openly take confidence in my brothers and sisters it’s an extra step but offers another level of humility.
