The Beloved One. “The question arising in your mind deals with a desire to know how material life impacts on spiritual life, but more importantly, how that spiritual life impacts on the material life. This is indeed worthy of consideration and even further contemplative thought.
“First of all, this thought and the building of faith and trust lead to the surety that life continues after mortal dissolution – death and resurrection into eternal life. You have started to become aware of how your thoughts and actions impact on others. These thoughts can uplift and promote or hinder spiritual progress.
“This is forever the dilemma in mortal life – how you are building or not building, and sometimes even breaking down. Your spiritual counterpart is needed for the next stage of existence in eternal life. It is by your personal choices and decisions, and by the building of your faith and trust that you make progress.
“Can you now begin to see how the material and the spiritual life are intertwined in the earth-life of mortal progression?
“Remember the story of the little boy, who wanted to have a moment alone with his newborn sister. The parents worried about possible sibling rivalry, but he got his chance, and after they heard him talking to her, they questioned him, He answered that he had asked her to please tell him what God was like, as he was starting to forget.
“You mortals are all like little children, paying the Creator no mind until you find yourself in dire straits, or suffer a severe disappointment of some kind. It is then that you get a wake-up call, and in the blink of an eye everything changes within you.
“Such is the work of My Spirit within you – to make you realize your true purpose in life, which is to be about the Father’s business, to learn to love unconditionally, and to express this love towards all others.
“This is the most important quality to cultivate.”
