Do you know where your secret golden key is? Have you lost it, or put it away so well you've forgotten where you keep it? Do you even remember what it looks like?
Okay, let's retrace the facts.
We've all got this secret golden key. It is to unlock a multitude of problems in every area of our lives, and it pretty well guarantees success where ever we use it, Though it isn't the only key in the world, it is a sturdy and vital one.
We really can't depend on someone else to use theirs for us. We need to learn to use our own key. It is crucial that you find and use your own golden key.
We received this key at birth, but like being potty-trained, it takes a while to learn to use it. It sure helps if our parents and family, or caregivers gave us training by setting boundaries and rules for us.
If they always let you have your way, they have in fact kept your key from you. It's time you insist on using it yourself.
Now, it's possible that someone gave you a fake key. You thought that asserting yourself, saying what you want when you want, and making everyone yield to you was the use of your golden key. No-no! That's not your golden key. Feel free to toss it. It only really opens Pandora's box. Believe me, you don't want that trouble!
You golden key will keep you from doing wrong, from blatant sins, in fact, like pride, gluttony, drunkenness, immorality, foolishness of all grades, hatred, most quarrels, wars, and from stealing, and perjury. Things of that ilk. Just staying out of those trouble areas is a great step towards success.
But your gold key can also help you have a tidy desk, or home, and it can help you get a multitude of things done that others think are impossible to fit into one day or week.
In fact, when you set goals and make a list of steps to accomplishing them, using your secret golden key will allow you to gallop up those steps with nimbleness and grace! Oh, you really ought to find your golden key! It would bless and help you ever so much!
You do need the tool of faith to transplant mulberry trees or mountains into the sea, (although it doesn't have to be any bigger than a mustard seed - the tiniest in the world), however, your golden key is great for holding that tool in place. Yes, it's that versatile!
Would you recognize it now if you found it? Check under your shirt; maybe it hanging around your neck this minute.
Ah-h-h! There it is! See? You've got Self-Control. You just haven't been using it much yet.
Just keep it out where you can grab it instantly, and apply it to every situation you find yourself in. If forget how to use it, or if it gets stuck, just lift your face up to God and cry out, "Lord, help me!" You'll know quite promptly what to do next.
