This one appears to be a rather "long winded" response, to someone which essentially says, "Keep the Faith" and "Believe in what you cannot see":
Cayce sometimes was known for this (long winded)
answers to questions, kind of like me.
Think on This ...
Happiness, then, is not a thing set apart from self, but the conditions with which one approaches that in hand to be done!
for when one considers that the position of self is hard to bear, is not as is desired, the desire of the heart often maketh one afraid--
(he's saying here, above that we get AFRAID when the enviornment we are in is less then fulfiling to us......or unhappiness sets in)
unless that desire is ever in that attitude of "Use me, O God, as I am," for the I AM is ready, willing, to make my will one with Thy will--"Though He slay me, though He bruise me in mine own selfish or unseen ways; yet will I trust Him day by day," and He will not forsake thee; neither will He allow thee to be afraid; for He will raise thee up, and He understands all the hardships, the little things, the separations, the variations in the surroundings--but trust Him!
