FROM DESTINY TO DIVINITY

The great God makes direct contact with mortal man and gives a part of his infinite and eternal and incomprehensible self to live and dwell within him. God has embarked upon the eternal adventure with man. If you yield to the leadings of the spiritual forces in you and around you, you cannot fail to attain the high destiny established by a loving God as the universe goal of his ascendant creatures from the evolutionary worlds of space. ~ The Urantia Book, (5:1.12).

It is our destiny to step out of our humanity and into our Divinity. Now, up to a certain point, the Spirit of evolution within us pushes us on from the inside out, gently (without our conscious awareness) forcing us to grow and expand. However, there comes a point in our evolution where the incarnated consciousness awakens to the reality of Soul and Spirit. When we reach that point, we create a higher ideal for us and strive to attain it. We attain it by disciplining ourselves to follow a set of Spiritual routines or disciplines.

 

God will ordain times when our divine destiny doesn’t seem to be unfolding, just to test our faith and expectation to what he’s told us.

 

Staying prayerful will keep us strong and committed.

When we draw near to God, he will draw near to us James 4:8.  When we dwell in the secret place of the most high, we will abide under the shadow of the Almighty Ps. 91:1

Jesus taught that eternal realities were the result (reward) of righteous earthly striving. Man's mortal sojourn on earth acquired new meanings consequent upon the recognition of a noble destiny. ~ The Urantia Book, (170:2.7).

May He illuminate our minds by the Light of Source and directed us by the Love of the Source.

Amen!
