For here again death is the gate of life: it is an entering in, not a going forth only; it means a liberating of new powers as the former treasures float away like the dying petals. FOR HERE AGAIN DEATH IS THE GATE OF LIFE IT IS AN ENTERING IN NOT A GOING FORTH ONLY IT MEANS A LIBERATING OF NEW POWERS AS THE FORMER TREASURES FLOAT AWAY LIKE THE DYING PETALS
Does any soul, young in this life and in that to come, shrink back and say "I would rather keep in the springtime--I do not want to reach unto the things that are before if it must mean all this of pain." To such comes the Master's voice: "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer": You are right to be glad in His April days while he gives them. Every stage of the heavenly growth in us is lovely to Him; He is the God of the daisies and the lambs and the merry child hearts! It may be that no such path of loss lies before you; there are people like the lands where spring and summer weave the year between them, and the autumn processes are hardly noticed as they come and go. The one thing is to keep obedient in spirit, then you will be ready to let the flower-time pass if He bids you, when the sun of His love has worked some more ripening. You will feel by then that to try to keep the withering blossoms would be to cramp and ruin your soul. It is loss to keep when God says 'give'. OES ALL THIS SEEM HARD DOES ANY SOUL YOUNG IN THIS LIFE AND IN THAT TO COME SHRINK BACK AND SAY I WOULD RATHER KEEP IN THE SPRINGTIME I DO NOT WANT TO REACH UNTO THE THINGS THAT ARE BEFORE IF IT MUST MEAN ALL THIS OF PAIN TO SUCH COMES THE MASTER'S VOICE FEAR NONE OF THOSE THINGS WHICH THOU SHALT SUFFER YOU ARE RIGHT TO BE GLAD IN HIS APRIL DAYS WHILE HE GIVES THEM EVERY STAGE OF THE HEAVENLY GROWTH IN US IS LOVELY TO HIM HE IS THE GOD OF THE DAISIES AND THE LAMBS AND THE MERRY CHILD HEARTS IT MAY BE THAT NO SUCH PATH OF LOSS LIES BEFORE YOU THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE THE LANDS WHERE SPRING AND SUMMER WEAVE THE YEAR BETWEEN THEM AND THE AUTUMN PROCESSES ARE HARDLY NOTICED AS THEY COME AND GO THE ONE THING IS TO KEEP OBEDIENT IN SPIRIT THEN YOU WILL BE READY TO LET THE FLOWER TIME PASS IF HE BIDS YOU WHEN THE SUN OF HIS LOVE HAS WORKED SOME MORE RIPENING YOU WILL FEEL BY THEN THAT TO TRY TO KEEP THE WITHERING BLOSSOMS WOULD BE TO CRAMP AND RUIN YOUR SOUL IT IS LOSS TO KEEP WHEN GOD SAYS GIVE
