Thoughts to Ponder
* For the week starting Sunday, February 22nd: February 15 The love of the Father absolutely individualizes each personality as a unique child of the Universal Father, a child without duplicate in infinity, a will creature irreplaceable in all eternity. February 16 Do not allow the magnitude of the infinity, the immensity of the eternity, and the grandeur and glory of the matchless character of God to overawe, stagger, or discourage you; for the Father is not very far from any one of you; he dwells within you, and in him do we all literally move, actually live, and veritably have our being. February 17 Love of adventure, curiosity, and dread of monotony -- these traits inherent in evolving human nature -- were not put there just to aggravate and annoy you during your short sojourn on earth, but rather to suggest to you that death is only the beginning of an endless career of adventure, an everlasting life of anticipation, an eternal voyage of discovery. February 18 One of the most important lessons to be learned during your mortal career is teamwork. February 19February 22 To be great is to be Godlike. February 23 There is a great and glorious purpose in the march of the universes through space. All of your mortal struggling is not in vain. February 24 We are all part of an immense plan, a gigantic enterprise, and it is the vastness of the undertaking that renders it impossible to see very much of it at any one time and during any one life. February 25 There is in the mind of God a plan which embraces every creature of all his vast domains, and this plan is an eternal purpose of boundless opportunity, unlimited progress, and endless life. And the infinite treasures of such a matchless career are yours for the striving! February 26 The Spirit never drives, only leads. If you are a willing learner, if you want to attain spirit levels and reach divine heights, if you sincerely desire to reach the eternal goal, then the divine Spirit will gently and lovingly lead you along the pathway of sonship and spiritual progress. February 27 Do not fear the dangers of human forgetfulness and mortal inconstancy, do not be troubled with doubts of failure or by perplexing confusion, do not falter and question your status and standing, for in every dark hour, at every crossroad in the forward struggle, the Spirit of Truth will always speak, saying, "This is the way." February 28 What is loyalty? It is the fruit of an intelligent appreciation of universe brotherhood; one could not take so much and give nothing. For the week starting Sunday, March 1st: March 1 One of the functions of humor is to help all of us take ourselves less seriously. The Urantia Book, p. 549, par. 2 * March 2 March 3 Sometimes your most disappointing disappointments have become your greatest blessings. Sometimes the planting of a seed necessitates its death, the death of your fondest hopes, before it can be reborn to bear the fruits of new life and new opportunity. March 4 You will learn that you increase your burdens and decrease the likelihood of success by taking yourself too seriously. March 5 Very important is the work of preparation for the next higher sphere, but nothing equals the importance of the work of the world in which you are actually living. March 6 When you feel important, you lose energy to the wear and tear of ego dignity so that there is little energy left to do the work. March 7 Self-importance, not work-importance, exhausts immature creatures; it is the self element that exhausts, not the effort to achieve. For the week starting Sunday, March 8th: March 8 You can do important work if you do not become self-important; you can do several things as easily as one if you leave yourself out. March 9 Variety is restful; monotony is what wears and exhausts. March 10 A display of specialized skill does not signify possession of spiritual capacity. March 11 Cleverness is not a substitute for true character. March 12 Few persons live up to the faith which they really have. March 13 Unreasoned fear is a master intellectual fraud practiced upon the evolving mortal soul. March 14 Inherent capacities cannot be exceeded; a pint can never hold a quart. The spirit concept cannot be mechanically forced into the material memory mold. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 5 For the week starting Sunday, March 15th: March 15 Few mortals ever dare to draw anything like the sum of personality credits established by the combined ministries of nature and grace. The majority of impoverished souls are truly rich, but they refuse to believe it. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 6 March 16 Difficulties may challenge mediocrity and defeat the fearful, but they only stimulate the true children of the Most Highs. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 7 March 17 To enjoy privilege without abuse, to have liberty without license, to possess power and steadfastly refuse to use it for self-aggrandizement -- these are the marks of high civilization. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 8 March 18 Blind and unforeseen accidents do not occur in the cosmos. Neither do the celestial beings assist the lower being who refuses to act upon his light of truth. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 9 March 19 Effort does not always produce joy, but there is no happiness without intelligent effort. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 10 March 20 Action achieves strength; moderation eventuates in charm. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 11 March 21 Righteousness strikes the harmony chords of truth, and the melody vibrates throughout the cosmos, even to the recognition of the Infinite. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 5 For the week starting Sunday, March 22nd: March 22 The weak indulge in resolutions, but the strong act. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 13 March 23 Life is but a day's work -- do it well. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 13 March 24 The act is ours; the consequences God's. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 13 March 25 The greatest affliction of the cosmos is never to have been afflicted. Mortals only learn wisdom by experiencing tribulation. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 14 March 26 Stars are best discerned from the lonely isolation of experiential depths, not from the illuminated and ecstatic mountain tops. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 15 March 27 Wet the appetites of your associates for truth; give advice only when it is asked for. The Urantia Book, p. 556, par. 16 March 28 Affectation is the ridiculous effort of the ignorant to appear wise, the attempt of the barren soul to appear rich. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 1 For the week starting Sunday, March 29th: March 29 You cannot perceive spiritual truth until you feelingly experience it, and many truths are not really felt except in adversity. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 2 March 30 Impatience is a spirit poison; anger is like a stone hurled into a hornet's nest. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 4 March 31 Anxiety must be abandoned. The disappointments hardest to bear are those which never come. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 5 April 1 Only a poet can discern poetry in the commonplace prose of routine existence. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 6 April 2 The high mission of any art is, by its illusions, to foreshadow a higher universe reality, to crystallize the emotions of time into the thought of eternity. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 7 April 3 The evolving soul is not made divine by what it does, but by what it strives to do. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 8 April 4 The destiny of eternity is determined moment by moment by the achievements of the day by day living. The acts of today are the destiny of tomorrow. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 10 For the week starting Sunday, April 5th: April 5 Greatness lies not so much in possessing strength as in making a wise and divine use of such strength. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 11 April 6 Knowledge is possessed only by sharing; it is safeguarded by wisdom and socialized by love. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 12 April 7 Progress demands development of individuality; mediocrity seeks perpetuation in standardization. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 13 April 8 The argumentative defense of any proposition is inversely proportional to the truth contained. The Urantia Book, p. 557, par. 14 April 9 There is no error greater than that species of self-deception which leads intelligent beings to crave the exercise of power over other beings for the purpose of depriving these persons of their natural liberties. The Urantia Book, p. 614, par. 3 April 10 Man's ability to choose good or evil is a universe reality. The Urantia Book, p. 615, par. 3 April 11 Truth is the basis of science and philosophy, presenting the intellectual foundation of religion. The Urantia Book, p. 647, par. 1 |
