If a good and loving friend hurts you, think of that person as you would a surgeon. That wound was not inflicted to stick something sharp into you. It was an effort to remove something from you which your caring friend thought was unhealthy.

Many beyond their early teens think they’re smart enough to make their own decisions. They don’t listen to elders as they want to experience things on their own. They say times are different now. We said the same thing when we were that age.

Still, we should always be there for our children. Why? Because the Almighty has always been there for us. So just smile on the younger generation and accept that stage in their lives, just as the Omniscient One did for us. It too shall pass.

Spiritual people realize The Almighty doesn’t owe them a thing. There is no sense of entitlement. Anything received from The Omnipresent is a gift, a gift to be grateful for.

It’s no different between you and your parents. If you think they owe you because you’re their child, the bonds of love, trust, and respect between you have eroded.

Visiting someone ill who is not contagious is a mission of holiness. Being there uplifts them knowing you cared enough to stop by.Just don’t overstay your welcome, or they might feel stress if focused on you instead of on their healing.

Come with a pleasant disposition. It will have a positive effect on their body and spirit, bringing holiness to your deed. You’ll be a healer, even if you only help a little. Your deed will not be forgotten by powers far greater than you or me.

So visit someone ill if it doesn’t jeopardize your health. They’ll feel better, and you’ll be spiritually rewarded.

Your mental abilities are like stars at night. In darkness they help you with direction. Yet during troubling times, as in stormy skies, finding direction can be difficult. So you rely on your knowledge to guide you.

Your spirit is your fire within. It brings you warmth and light. Even in troubling times, like a damp and dense fog, you can find warmth and light. Just rely on the Source from where your soul originated.

Disease is a reality we dread. We can’t see it, but it is not fictitious. It’s very real. To prevent it we eat right; exercise; we immaculately clean; and distance ourselves from the sick to try to keep us physically healthy

Spirituality is a reality we admire. We can’t see it, yet we know it’s very real. To attain it we eat right; exercise; keep clean; and commune with those who positively affect our spirit to live in a way which will cause our soul to embrace the Source of life and keep us spiritually healthy.

Let go of any negative feelings you harbor. As you travel through life, the less baggage you carry, the easier your journey.

A funny line is, “One of life’s great pleasures is paying your final loan installment.”

Well, when you woke up this morning you were given a loan of time from The Eternal. The interest charge is computed in what you give to others. You must repay your loan with interest for each day you are given a loan extension.

And when you pay your final installment, the greatest pleasure awaits you. That’s why The Omniscient saves it for last.
