Lesson
Teacher: “The highest glory to which you can aspire is the glory of being able to say ‘I did what my Father asked of me.’ You have learned that the pursuit of glory is wrong. This is indeed the case when that glory is based on the exaltation of ego and the search for human accolades. True glory is the highest honor that can be achieved by a creature: To live according to our Father’s will, and gain the respect and acknowledgment of those who live the same way throughout the universe.
“As you can see, there is a kind of glory that can be useful for your spiritual growth. By living your life according to your Father’s will, even if the glory ‘up there’ is what motivates you, definite soul growth will take place, removing any misguided motivations you may have.
“Many human aspirations sometimes have divine motivation. However, many endeavors in the life of mortals are lost when people let external influences and opinions decide for them. It is in your heart where the true purpose for your life can be found for the satisfaction of your soul. Once you know this truth nothing could prevent you from starting to do what is needed for your advancement in this world and the next.
“Let me be the pilot. Let me guide you to the safe shores of salvation. The only thing that is expected of you is that you learn to listen to your Father’s inner voice, and that you decide to follow His advice for your own benefit. How bountiful and gratifying the journey of life becomes when the children learn to follow the advice of their celestial Father! Follow my voice and discover the wonders I have placed along the road.
“You are loved.”
