101:10.9 Now, rather, are the sons of God enlisted together in fighting the battle of reality’s triumph over the partial shadows of existence. At last all creatures become conscious of the fact that God and all the divine hosts of a well-nigh limitless universe are on their side in the supernal struggle to attain eternity of life and divinity of status. Such faith-liberated sons have certainly enlisted in the struggles of time on the side of the supreme forces and divine personalities of eternity; even the stars in their courses are now doing battle for them; at last they gaze upon the universe from within, from God’s viewpoint, and all is transformed from the uncertainties of material isolation to the sureties of eternal spiritual progression. Even time itself becomes but the shadow of eternity cast by Paradise realities upon the movingpanoply of space.

Moving
Anticipate the very best.
The day will go, as you invest.
Invest in what’s best about yourself
And learn to trust the cards you’re dealt.

God is love, and He loves you.
He deals the cards, then you must choose
How to play the cards you’re dealt.
You show what passions are heartfelt.

As you learn the life you lead
You’ll have adventures that succeed.
But you’ll also make mistakes.
Learn from them, that’s what it takes!

Give thanks as you move en route.
Some days are made, it seems, to suit
Another course, but don’t be fooled.
Maintain your course, and be well schooled.
,
Be a force that can be known.
To be more real, means you have grown.
Find the path that God has shown
And make that way of life your own.

The benefits of being old
Mean mistakes have helped to mold
A character, surviving time.
What you feel inside’s Divine!

Thank You, Father, from You I know
The path I’m on, helps me to grow.
The life within, reflects without.
Mistakes I’ve made, left scars of doubt.

52:7.15 All the worlds of Satania can join in the hope of the one who wrote: “Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for a new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless.”

New Things
What a day is planned ahead.
I rose early from my bed.
Expecting early help from others.
They’re employed, but they’re my brothers.

We will install new things for me.
I’m lucky, but this isn’t free.
I must pay for what is rendered.
I know exactly what’s intended.

Things will go as God intends.
I’ll try to do things on my end.
We will accomplish God’s intent.
The guidance inside’s Heaven sent.

Perfection will not be achieved
But the way things go, I do believe
Will approach what is conceived.
With God’s help, we will be relieved.

Excitement with anticipation
Truly helps my imagination.
Visualize from the beginning.
See what is the final ending.

No matter what twill be God’s will.
The way things go – wisdom’s instilled.
We learn and find a better way.
Don’t let your mind be led astray!

Thank You, Father, patience will
Help develop and instill
Deeper thinking ways of thought.
I’ll try my best to learn what’s taught.

5:1.10 The Father is not in spiritual hiding, but so many of his creatures have hidden themselves away in the mists of their own willful decisions and for the time being have separated themselves from the communion of his spiritand the spirit of his Son by the choosing of their own perverse ways and by the indulgence of the self-assertiveness of their intolerant minds and unspiritual natures.

The Spirit Way
The beauty starts on this Spring day.
Invigoration comes my way.
Anticipating all the best.
The best is what’s in store, I guess?

Just to guess is not what’s best!
Faith surpasses that, no less.
Faith so deep, you truly know.
God’s always the way to go!

Often times we cannot see
The workings out of what’s to be.
Adventure lurks at every step.
Faith is strengthened by your sweat.

Invigorate yourself with faith.
Don’t worry if you lose your face.
Face is restored by faith and grace.
Don’t ever worry about your pace.

Eternity yes, it may take.
But be right on and don’t be fake.
Show this world that you can sleep
Every day with Faith, that’s deep.

There’s many things we must go through.
Experience brings us close to you.
As we decide to become wise,
Our Spirits do become apprised.

Thank You, Father, help me see
The better ways to be Godly.
And help me walk upon that path
And realize we don’t go fast.

93:5.13 When Melchizedek heard of Abraham’s declaration of war, he went forth to dissuade him but only caught up with his former disciple as he returned victorious from the battle. Abraham insisted that the God of Salem had given him victory over his enemies and persisted in giving a tenth of his spoils to the Salem treasury. The other ninety per cent he removed to his capital at Hebron.

Give
A cooler day yes, it’s still Spring.
Though it won’t freeze a chill it brings.
It will warm up, that is forecast.
Summer’s heat I know will last.

The peak of summer lies ahead.
Protect my scanner, it turns red.
As weather changes in our lives,
Protect yourself, so you can thrive.

Be prepared, there’s constant change.
Throughout our lives, there’s times of pain.
We learn our wisdom through experience.
Increasing skill gives us significance.

Exercise some time in life
To help another through their strife.
Help them suffer through their pain.
Helping others helps us gain.

You gain in all the things you give.
We’re not born knowing how to live.
It’s a skill we learn by living.
It takes us time to be more giving.

I see improvement in some ways,
But in some areas there’s delay.
We live and breath upon the crest
Of the now of time, like that I guess.

Think about them now, it’s true
That as you think it’s part of you.
It then depends on what you do.
The now can help lead us to truth.

Thank You,Father, for this time.
As we live and breathe this grind,
I know the love that’s in my heart
Is a gift from You, You used to start!

156:5.2 It was during this same sermon that Jesus made use of his first and only parable having to do with his own trade – carpentry. In the course of his admonition to “Build well the foundations for the growth of a noble character of spiritual endowments,” he said: “In order to yield the fruits of the spirit, you must be born of the spirit. You must be taught by the spirit and be led by the spirit if you would live the spirit-filled life among your fellows. But do not make the mistake of the foolish carpenter who wastes valuable time squaring, measuring, and smoothing his worm-eaten and inwardly rotting timber and then, when he has thus bestowed all of his labor upon the unsound beam, must reject it as unfit to enter into the foundations of the building which he would construct to withstand the assaults of time and storm. Let every man make sure that the intellectual and moral foundations of character are such as will adequately support the superstructure of the enlarging and ennobling spiritual nature, which is thus to transform the mortal mind and then, in association with that re-created mind, is to achieve the evolvement of the soul of immortal destiny. Your spirit nature – the jointly created soul – is a living growth, but the mind and morals of the individual are the soil from which these higher manifestations of human development and divine destiny must spring. The soil of the evolving soul is human and material, but the destiny of this combined creature of mind and spirit is spiritual and divine.”

Springtime Growth
The beauty of the day begins.
The season now is truly Spring.
Thriving life surrounds with blossoms.
The landscape’s truly turning awesome.

Everywhere you look, you see,
Flowers blooming naturally.
Growth occurs from every crack.
Farmers plant where the soil is black.

Spring’s a time of growth and change.
Look inside, extend your range.
The time that’s spent in contemplation
Helps survival’s destination.

We are all in this together.
We all experience the same weather.
The sun and moon do rise and set
Upon us all, and our events.

Why are there so many fights?
We need to change? Is that not right?
Peace must come, or all will die.
We’ll self-destruct if we don’t try.

We can do so many things.
I know that if we let peace reign,
We could master ways of living
That surpass the dreams we’re having.

Thank You, Father, peace will come
To this world, we are not dumb!
The darkest hour’s before the dawn.
You’ve shown the way, we hear Your song!

130:4.7 Life is an adaptation of the original cosmic causation to the demands and possibilities of universe situations, and it comes into being by the action of the Universal Mind and the activation of the spirit spark of the God who is spirit. The meaning of life is its adaptability; the value of life is its progressability – even to the heights of God-consciousness.

Progress
The sun is setting on my life
But I’ve got years left with my wife.
We will enjoy our “Golden Years”
We’re gaining something between our ears.

Every day we gain experience.
I try to strive towards more existence.
To be more real is what I try.
Existence ceases when one dies.

Unless, of course, there’s something else
A Spirit existence of yourself?
Imagine if there is rebirth
And life on earth’s a learning curve.

That means that in the years to come,
We find where existence does come from.
We find where Spirit does fit in.
Is God where it all begins!?

To think, and do, as you want to
Is something we’re all bent to do.
We exist right now in time.
Look inside, see what you find!

If you truly look, you’ll see
There’s something there – Divinity!
It will help you, just believe.
Faith will help you to receive!

Thank You, Father, for this trip.
To know all things, I’m ill-equipped.
Progress means I do go forward.
Progress is my daily watchword.

52:1.7 All mortals who are indwelt by Thought Adjusters are potential worshipers; they have been “lighted by the true light,” and they possess capacity for seeking reciprocal contact with divinity. Nevertheless, the early or biologic religion of primitive man is largely a persistence of animal fear coupled with ignorant awe and tribal superstition. The survival of superstition in the Urantia races is hardly complimentary to your evolutionary development nor compatible with your otherwise splendid achievements in material progress. But this early fear religion serves a very valuable purpose in subduing the fiery tempers of these primitive creatures. It is the forerunner of civilization and the soil for the subsequent planting of the seeds of revealed religion by the Planetary Prince and his ministers.

A Lighted Path
Beauty’s perfection rules the day.
The sun shines brightly on our ways.
The temps are perfect, warm not hot.
I give thanks for what I’ve got!

We must make the best of things.
Awake to what this life can bring.
Rich in spirit that’s heartfelt.
Experience is the heart of wealth!

Looking back, I am rich indeed.
There’s selfishness there, perhaps some greed.
To follow those on TV news?
Without a Spirit goal, you lose!

Never lose faith in yourself!
God within you chose and dealt
You and yours, your hands in life.
The growth within you’re going to like!

It’s a joy to know you’ve grown!
In looking back, mistakes you own.
No excuse for bad behavior.
You must learn to go through failure!

There’re blessings gained from no where/when else.
Do not fear to face yourself!
Recognize where you are at.
Find your pathway to God’s act.

Thank You, Father, Spirit Guide.
You’ve helped me not broadcast my pride.
And to know You deep inside
My lighted youth inside won’t die!

132:4.4 As might have been expected, such a versatile and aggressive man could not thus function for six months in the world’s metropolis without being approached by numerous persons who desired to secure his services in connection with some business or, more often, for some project of teaching, social reform, or religious movement. More than a dozen such proffers were made, and he utilized each one as an opportunity for imparting some thought of spiritual ennoblement by well-chosen words or by some obliging service. Jesus was very fond of doing things – even littlethings – for all sorts of people.

Little Things
Up before the sun today
Today we’ll play, it’s Saturday!
Rain and snow may come our way
But that won’t stop the plans we’ve made.

Today it’s possible I’ll go mad
With all the upsets we have had.
Basketball takes center stage,
But soon we’ve turned another page.

What today seems so important
Is not much – may be discordant
To the song we sing through life.
We must tune out what does divide.

Turning to the words we say
The truth can speak love every day.
You have a skill within that shows.
So follow It, and where It goes.

Patience often works out well.
God’s within us all, pray tell
Let His plan for you work out.
Try to see what God’s about.

Anticipate the very best.
Your track is right when you can rest.
Things will work out as they should.
May God’s love be understood.

Thank You, Father, the day is young.
And yes, Your universe is far-flung.
You made me then put Yourself
Within me, I am then Your elf.

150:5.4 When Jesus had left off speaking, there was great rejoicing among those who had heard these gracious words, and they all went on in the days that followed proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom with new power and with renewed energy and enthusiasm. And the women rejoiced all the more to know they were included in these plans for the establishment of the kingdom on earth.

Rejoiceful
Spring, sun, and cooler temps
Light the day, there is suspense.
Choirs sing, and we drive miles.
The grass is green, it brings us smiles.

Rejoiceful vibes are in the air.
Life is full, and we’re aware.
God is in us all and we
See improving history.

Yes, there are places still at war
On this earth, that way’s well worn.
We must solve the way we live
So we don’t fight and learn to give.

So many souls of many colors.
We need to learn we all are brothers.
Every planet paints a portrait.
It reflects the peoples' torments.

We will improve if we just try.
It will take years, I don’t deny.
But in the future there will be
A love filled planet’s destiny.

We are a shrine where Christ our Lord
Gave His life upon a board.
Nails pierced through His bone and flesh.
He gave His life so we refresh.

We will refresh what we believe.
We’re going to find “God lives in me.”
He will show us what to be
And give us Divine destiny.

94:7.3 Amid the confusion and extreme cult practices of India, the saner and more moderate teachings of Gautama came as a refreshing relief. He denounced gods, priests, and their sacrifices, but he too failed to perceive the personality of the One Universal. Not believing in the existence of individual human souls, Gautama, of course, made a valiant fight against the time-honored belief in transmigration of the soul. He made a noble effort to deliver men from fear, to make them feel at ease and at home in the great universe, but he failed to show them the pathway to that real and supernal home of ascending mortals – Paradise – and to the expanding service of eternal existence.

Pathways Ahead
A shifting day with rain and sun.
Spring weather patterns have begun.
We can adopt a Farmer’s role.
The work it takes can take a toll.

A Farmer’s work is never done.
There’s always work, but it can be fun.
To feed the things that are alive—
A daily chore that helps them thrive.

Always thinking how to help
Improve the lives that plants are dealt.
Improve the lives of livestock too.
When harvest comes, there’s much to do.

We all must find our paths in life.
To stay with what one truly likes
Is wise, but other ways must be
Explored by us individually.

Everything we can imagine,
Can be explored if we have passion.
To use our minds to find direction,
Helps reflect your thinking’s fashion.

We all have different takes on things.
Our minds receive, perception brings
A unity of thought – ideas.
Decisions then can help one heal.

Thank You, Father, things occur
Along Your path when Faith endures
That helps us all achieve and love.
This worlds confusions will be solved!
