140:8.17 Jesus frequently warned his listeners against covetousness, declaring that “a man’s happiness consists not in the abundance of his material possessions.” He constantly reiterated, “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” He made no direct attack on the possession of property, but he did insist that it is eternally essential that spiritual values come first. In his later teachings he sought to correct many erroneous Urantia views of life by narrating numerous parables which he presented in the course of his public ministry. Jesus never intended to formulate economic theories; he well knew that each age must evolve its own remedies for existing troubles. And if Jesus were on earth today, living his life in the flesh, he would be a great disappointment to the majority of good men and women for the simple reason that he would not take sides in present-day political, social, or economic disputes. He would remain grandly aloof while teaching you how to perfect your inner spiritual life so as to render you manyfold more competent to attack the solution of your purely human problems.
Everyday
Mornings are the best for me,
And this Spring day will truly be,
The best that I can really see.
God is my reality!
God‘s the source of time and such.
He lets us choose how we eat lunch.
If we choose the Good in life,
We learn how best to live through strife.
Progress through the times we live.
We learn to be kind, and to give.
The lessons that we learn in living,
Help us be much more forgiving.
God has a plan for each of us.
We learn more quickly, as we Trust.
We learn that God is truly Love.
We see his Love, as we evolve.
To be awakened in God‘s world,
At first unsure, we may feel swirled.
But if we trust in Love, we find,
A direction termed Divine.
Divine direction helps progress.
If we ignore things, we regress.
Eventually, Life teaches us,
To Trust God’s Love, is just a must!
Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.
Something new on Earth’s begun.
Increased awareness of Your Love.
People on this Earth evolve.
