114:7.6 Urantia mortals should not allow the comparative spiritual isolation of their world from certain of the local universe circuits to produce a feeling of cosmic desertion or planetary orphanage. There is operative on the planet a very definite and effective superhuman supervision of world affairs and human destinies.
Cope
Another hot one, and it’s dry.
Some plants will wilt before they die.
Wilting plants may still have flowers.
They give themselves to all that follows.

Sunflowers with seeds, a harvest crop
They flower indeed, with all they’ve got.
Combines will harvest all their seed.
Seed gets stored to suit our needs.

Growing crops, a farmer’s wish
But weather change can cause anguish.
A change in patterns can cause dry.
Weather can cause plants to die.

A plant that dies of drought can still
Produce some seed, in fact, most will.
Seeds produced outlast the drought.
When times are right, then most will sprout.

Outlasting bedtimes that beset us.
Endurance through the halls of crisis.
The seeds of faith create our hopes.
They sprout within, whene’re we cope.

So, cope with what you must today.
Find faith upon all your byways.
It exists within your mind.
It comes from something that’s Divine.

Thank You, Father, hopes won’t die!
Hope is a dream we wish to try!
I have faith that with our hope
We travel on a path that copes.

126:3.8 While turning all these problems over in his mind, he found in the synagogue library at Nazareth, among the apocalyptic books which he had been studying, this manuscript called “The Book of Enoch”; and though he was certain that it had not been written by Enoch of old, it proved very intriguing to him, and he read and reread it many times. There was one passage which particularly impressed him, a passage in which this term “Son of Man” appeared. The writer of this so-called Book of Enoch went on to tell about this Son of Man, describing the work he would do on earth and explaining that this Son of Man, before coming down on this earth to bring salvation to mankind, had walked through the courts of heavenly glory with his Father, the Father of all; and that he had turned his back upon all this grandeur and glory to come down on earth to proclaim salvation to needy mortals. As Jesus would read these passages (well understanding that much of the Eastern mysticism which had become admixed with these teachings was erroneous), he responded in his heart and recognized in his mind that of all the Messianic predictions of the Hebrew scriptures and of all the theories about the Jewish deliverer, none was so near the truth as this story tucked away in this only partially accredited Book of Enoch; and he then and there decided to adopt as his inaugural title “the Son of Man.” And this he did when he subsequently began his public work. Jesus had an unerring ability for the recognition of truth, and truth he never hesitated to embrace, no matter from what source it appeared to emanate.

Passages
Fall is coming, it’s in the air.
The weather’s nice, it is so fair.
The beauty of this day’s enhanced
By thoughts of love, our life’s romance.

Follow love tracks while you live.
Present the best that you can give.
Love’s a force, so use it well.
God is Love, and He indwells.

Use your courage, and fear not.
Through what’s ahead, you’re going to trot.
There will be Good there, if we look.
Sometimes the Good’s the time it took.

As things work out, we will see why.
At times the best can make us cry.
But with the spice of time, we see
With wiser eyes— philosophy.

Time makes wiser eyes see far.
Impatience makes our eyes subpar.
So take your time on your life path.
No need to struggle to go fast!

That doesn’t mean you do not try.
Do your best before you die.
Find the path that God wants you
To walk upon before you’re through.

Thank You, Father, once again.
You saved me from where I have been.
Your love is there because I know
From where I speak, I’ve seen it grow.

100:1.3 Give every developing child a chance to grow his own religious experience; do not force a ready-made adult experience upon him. Remember, year-by-year progress through an established educational regime does not necessarily mean intellectual progress, much less spiritual growth. Enlargement of vocabulary does not signify development of character. Growth is not truly indicated by mere products but rather by progress. Real educational growth is indicated by enhancement of ideals, increased appreciation of values, new meanings of values, and augmented loyalty to supreme values.

Buses
Humid heat until tonight.
That describes our summer plight.
I’m glad I live in the times we do.
Conditioned air helps pull us through.

Conditioned air on a school bus?
That has not been much discussed.
They have heat, but have no air.
Summer vacations make that fair?

But now schools try to teach year ‘round
So summer bus drivers do abound.
Air conditioning has been skipped.
Some schools aren’t even air equipped.

We show our values by what we do.
We think we can save money, too.
Our buses are not built so well.
Commercially they couldn’t sell.

It truly doesn’t make much sense
To build these buses for kid's events.
Do we care not for kid’s safety?
What we do shows directly!

We show by what we truly do.
We have these buses, that is true.
Do we face what’s shown as truth?
No, we fudge, that’s what we do.

Father, I pray we advance.
Along Your ways, don’t say we can’t.
I’ll pray for peace between the tribes.
Our kids deserve some better rides.

71:4.17 Idealism can never survive on an evolving planet if the idealists in each generation permit themselves to be exterminated by the baser orders of humanity. And here is the great test of idealism: Can an advanced society maintain that military preparedness which renders it secure from all attack by its war-loving neighbors without yielding to the temptation to employ this military strength in offensive operations against other peoples for purposes of selfish gain or national aggrandizement? National survival demands preparedness, and religious idealism alone can prevent the prostitution of preparedness into aggression. Only love, brotherhood, can prevent the strong from oppressing the weak.

Love & War
A little warmer, yes, today
But very pleasant anyway.
A day to do most anything
And be prepared for what life brings.

A day to increase beauty’s grace.
Find beauty in the things you face.
Don’t deface, please just enhance.
Keep up your pace, and do God’s dance.

What’s the best thing you can do?
Do it today with follow-through!
Innately you know when you’re on
And dancing to our Father’s song.

Fan the flames of Faith with fervor!
Faith is what will take you further!
Faith in goodness being right
Gives direction to God’s light!

What be right, and what be wrong?
That’s a very human song.
Yet most know within their hearts
How love there had its first start.

When love’s first upon the scene,
It doesn’t take long before it’s seen
There is a way through war’s deceit.
Love’s the answer! – War’s defeat!

Thank You, Father, I know You
Have a plan with follow-through.
Though there’s war, we will achieve.
World lasting peace, hard to believe!

28:6.18 The universal economy is based on intake and output; throughout the eternal career you will never encounter monotony of inaction or stagnation of personality. Progress is made possible by inherent motion, advancement grows out of the divine capacity for action, and achievement is the child of imaginative adventure. But inherent in this capacity for achievement is the responsibility of ethics, the necessity for recognizing that the world and the universe are filled with a multitude of differing types of beings. All of this magnificent creation, including yourself, was not made just for you. This is not an egocentric universe. The Gods have decreed, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and said your Master Son, “He who would be greatest among you let him be server of all.”

Searching
It’s cooler now, but heat’s a comin’.
We live the now as it’s becomin’.
On the crest of our existence.
We find good paths when we’re persistent.

Persistent in our search for Truth.
The ways of Love are never rude.
Look for things that need be done.
Then work until the setting sun.

Once the Truth within is found,
Then it can spread to those around.
It has a ring that is Truth’s timbre.
It is the Truth not propaganda.

The Truth will stand the test of time.
Your inner Truth is what’s Divine.
Temporal truths sometimes will fade.
But inner Truth will always stay.

In your inner life you ask
What’s the best way through this task?
Sincerely looking for best ways.
Use your courage when dismayed.

Yes, sometimes we must use courage.
Faith in good we must encourage.
Faith does get me through my day.
It lights a pathway through dismay.

Thank You, Father, for this path.
Please forgive me for my past.
With sincerity of Spirit
I will speak with all who hear it.

OCEAN OF WISDOM

A poor man always think the rich man made his wealth out of luck.

And the rich man believes the poor is poor because he is lazy.

A young lady who married very early thinks ladies who are finding it hard to get married have bad character.

A man who just graduated and get a job immediately thinks he is smarter than others.

While a woman who just got married and start giving birth sees "barren" women as people who lived a wayward life.

If only the poor knew the price the rich paid to get to top and if only the rich knows the battles, challenges that the poor is going through, none will ever form a theory about each other.

If the poor can't appreciate the rich man's success let him mind his business if it is easy to be rich he wouldn't have been poor.

And if the rich won't help the poor grow at least they should not kill the spirit of a struggling man.

If only you know what people endure or fight behind the scene you will always thank God for your life. Until you walk in people's shoes, You will never know how hard the journey is.

Help each other grow!!!
Mock less, envy no one.
and love one another.

It's a Revelation For The Now Generation!!!

Jesus Comforts His Disciples John 14: Verses 1-5
1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God a ; believe also in me. 2My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going.”

The Urantia Book 180:3.4
180:3.4 (1947.3) “Let not your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; continue to believe also in me. Even though I must leave you, I will not be far from you. I have already told you that in my Father’s universe there are many tarrying-places. If this were not true, I would not have repeatedly told you about them. I am going to return to these worlds of light, stations in the Father’s heaven to which you shall sometime ascend. From these places I came into this world, and the hour is now at hand when I must return to my Father’s work in the spheres on high.
180:3.5 (1947.4) “If I thus go before you into the Father’s heavenly kingdom, so will I surely send for you that you may be with me in the places that were prepared for the mortal sons of God before this world was. Even though I must leave you, I will be present with you in spirit, and eventually you shall be with me in person when you have ascended to me in my universe even as I am about to ascend to my Father in his greater universe. And what I have told you is true and everlasting, even though you may not fully comprehend it. I go to the Father, and though you cannot now follow me, you shall certainly follow me in the ages to come.”

John 16: Verse 33
33“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

The Urantia Book 181:1.4
181:1.4 (1954.1) “The Father sent me into this world, but only a few of you have chosen fully to receive me. I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, but all men will not choose to receive this new teacher as the guide and counselor of the soul. But as many as do receive him shall be enlightened, cleansed, and comforted. And this Spirit of Truth will become in them a well of living water springing up into eternal life.
181:1.5 (1954.2) “And now, as I am about to leave you, I would speak words of comfort. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I make these gifts not as the world gives—by measure—I give each of you all you will receive. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. I have overcome the world, and in me you shall all triumph through faith.

130:4.4 A one-eyed person can never hope to visualize depth of perspective. Neither can single-eyed material scientists nor single-eyed spiritual mystics and allegorists correctly visualize and adequately comprehend the true depths of universe reality. All true values of creature experience are concealed in depth of recognition.

Relation/Rumination
Once again, I wake to beauty.
Today we’re going to Boogie-Woogie.
Many things to do on tap.
We’ll fit in today, we will adapt.

Adapting to new ways of life.
Getting older causes strife.
Slowly, slowly, aging bones
Do their job, but with more groans.

Accept the fact that we won’t last.
Time is slow, we don’t fade fast.
Relentlessly, we age and slow.
It’s just the way our bodies go.

That perspective, it is not youth.
Youth develops till grown is truth.
But once grown, we go downhill.
Some are prolonged with cosmic pills.

Sooner or later, we all face
An end to how we use Your grace.
How it ends for each of us
Shows how we believe, and how we trust.

I believe we do go on.
We have a purpose in God’s song.
We can avoid, and take control
Of how we die, and become our souls.

But if we take the aging way
We find that life is but a play.
We’re on the stage with lines to speak
And then we find the lives we seek.

Thank You, Father, I’m aware
Of Your presence in me there.
There I live, and You can see.
I pray I am refined in Ye.

36:2.5 Planetary life, therefore, while similar in some respects, differs in many ways on each evolutionary world. Even in a uniform life series in a single family of worlds, life is not exactly the same on any two planets; there is always a planetary type, for the Life Carriers work constantly in an effort to improve the vital formulas committed to their keeping.

The Plan
Today we start to wend our way
Towards the best we can display.
We want the best for everyone.
Your best is what we want be done.

To do your best, you must be here.
In the now’s where we appear.
Do the next best thing you know.
Good results will always flow.

“Sincerely doing” is your best.
Sincerity gives truth it’s test.
When you’re sincere in what you do
The Loving Spirit comes to you.

Love has always got a focus.
We all serve as a focus – locus.
If we do the Will of God,
Improvement comes, this world evolves.

Every single one on earth
Plays a part, and writes a verse.
If every soul would look for good
Peace evolves, togetherhood.

The Brother/Sisterhood of Man
Must evolve before we stand.
But our direction’s well-established.
We just need a bit more practice.

Thank You, Father, someday we
Will unite in victory.
One world united with One Father
You are our gift, You are our author.
