111:4.8&9&10 You cannot completely control the external world – environment. It is the creativity of the inner world that is most subject to your direction because there your personality is so largely liberated from the fetters of the laws of antecedent causation. There is associated with personality a limited sovereignty of will.

Since this inner life of man is truly creative, there rests upon each person the responsibility of choosing as to whether this creativity shall be spontaneous and wholly haphazard or controlled, directed, and constructive. How can a creative imagination produce worthy children when the stage whereon it functions is already preoccupied by prejudice, hate, fears, resentments, revenge, and bigotries?

Ideas may take origin in the stimuli of the outer world, but ideals are born only in the creative realms of the inner world. Today the nations of the world are directed by men who have a superabundance of ideas, but they are poverty-stricken in ideals. That is the explanation of poverty, divorce, war, and racial hatreds.

Today

I got eight hours and now I’m up.

I’m thankful, for, God fills my cup.

There’s much that I am thankful for.

Through life I’ve opened many doors.

As an older guy, now I

Have less to do, but still I try

To be useful in this life.

I look for ways to do what’s right.

Judgment has matured with me.

I’m different than I used to be.

I’m not as quick, I have more patience.

I try to find what makes a difference.

Our vision widens, as we age.

When I was young, I used to rage

Over trifles with no meaning.

I know I was more self-defeating.

No perfection in this life,

But my motives do survive.

My direction now is set.

Reminders there, when I forget.

Anticipation builds within.

There’s Good to do, the day begins.

Always choices to be made.

They’re always ways one can upgrade.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

by the time this day is done,

I’ll have done, and, found some Good.

And for Your Wil, I will have stood.

181:2.15 Jesus then stepped over to James Zebedee, who stood in silence as the Master addressed him, saying: “James, when you and your younger brother once came to me seeking preferment in the honors of the kingdom, and I told you such honors were for the Father to bestow, I asked if you were able to drink my cup, and both of you answered that you were. Even if you were not then able, and if you are not now able, you will soon be prepared for such a service by the experience you are about to pass through. By such behavior you angered your brethren at that time. If they have not already fully forgiven you, they will when they see you drink my cup. Whether your ministry be long or short, possess your soul in patience. When the new teacher comes, let him teach you the poise of compassion and that sympathetic tolerance which is born of sublime confidence in me and of perfect submission to the Father’s will. Dedicate your life to the demonstration of that combined human affection and divine dignity of the God-knowing and Son-believing disciple. And all who thus live will reveal the gospel even in the manner of their death. You and your brother John will go different ways, and one of you may sit down with me in the eternal kingdom long before the other. It would help you much if you would learn that true wisdom embraces discretion as well as courage. You should learn sagacity to go along with your aggressiveness. There will come those supreme moments wherein my disciples will not hesitate to lay down their lives for this gospel, but in all ordinary circumstances it would be far better to placate the wrath of unbelievers that you might live and continue to preach the glad tidings. As far as lies in your power, live long on the earth that your life of many years may be fruitful in souls won for the heavenly kingdom.”

Wisdom’s Ways
Truly much to do today.
Early starts help us make hay.
More time today to do our tasks.
More time to do some Godly acts.

Try to make some better choices.
The Spirit within you then rejoices.
Look and act as an adult.
Anticipate your past made faults.

Make sure you don’t repeat mistakes.
To learn from them is what it takes.
Advancing helps your wisdom be
Increasing with your destiny.

To learn means that we’ve had defeats.
We do not learn on winning streaks.
We only learn when we must change,
And sometimes just extend our range.

We do best when we improve
Our past events, the way we move.
Introspection must be made
To help us all, improve our grades.

Self-awareness, where we’re at.
Respect all others as we act.
Accomplishments with what’s called tact
Helps all mankind, and that’s a fact!

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.
Wisdom within’s what’s begun.
A wiser way to lead my life.
Become the way You lead through strife.
Paul Anderson
