The last paragraph in the collection of writings by Thomas R. Kelly, called A Testament of Devotion, is called the greatest piece of devotional writing of the 20th century, by my teacher, Randy Harris. It is very difficult to argue. It was published after his sudden death in 1941, so he did not have a chance to edit and fine-tune it. Read it slowly. Read it aloud. Enjoy!
"Life from the Center is a life of unhurried peace and power. It is simple. It is serene. It is amazing. It is triumphant. It is radiant. It takes no time, but it occupies all our time. And it makes our life programs new and overcoming. We need not get frantic. He is at the helm. And when our little day is done we lie down quietly in peace, for all is well."
