As Sure As Day Follows Night.
A Thought Adjuster Speaks – 294 – May 14, 2004.
Dear one, in order for you to grow deeper into the things of the Kingdom of Heaven, it requires for you to place less importance on material things. This matter of gaining an understanding of things spiritual, when engaged wholeheartedly, leads to a greater harmony in the mental and emotional fields.
It is so very different from mere book knowledge when the heart is involved. In your mind you have knowledge, but in your heart you gain understanding by learning from what you experience.
This is the meaning of your Master Jesus’ words when He said: “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” This is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Strive firstly for the heavenly things like truth, beauty and goodness, so these become as characteristics of your personality. These automatically lead to practicing the fruits of the Spirit in loving service, striving for a pure and sincere heart, being unconditionally forgiving, being dutiful and loyal in small things, so you grow a capacity for larger matters.
This mortal life is ‘a foreshadowing’ of eternal life. And how you conduct yourself during this life is a great indicator of how fast you will advance in eternal life in overcoming your lower animal instincts and urges.
Truly, My beloved, this may seem difficult to you, but you have many things to overcome before you can learn of the deeper meanings and values. Be faithful and sincere in small matters, for the greater things will automatically follow as sure as day follows night.
Be ever responsive to My Voice.
