“Devote your life to proving that love is the greatest thing in the world.” (192:2.1)

Lesson

Thought Adjuster: “The above statement appeals to you in its simplicity and practicality. Indeed, if you embrace it wholeheartedly as your spiritual mantra, you will lead a great life in alignment with its divine purpose. Love is the cause, the way and the destination of all creatures.

“As immature human beings, you are constantly tossed around emotionally, as you live in an imperfect world and your ‘roommates’ are flawed as well and these personal flaws act as sandpaper, causing personalities to at first painfully rub against each other.

“A woodcraftsman has a plan for the piece of wood he works with. He has a vision for the beautiful finished product that he will cause to emerge from the raw block of wood. With the help of his professional tools, he painstakingly carves his project. Then comes the time when he sets about polishing his artwork with various grades of sandpaper. Indeed, it would be wasteful and foolish to start with the finest grade, as the sandpaper, not the project would be polished since, at the onset of this labor, the wood would be coarser than the sandpaper.

“This is how the Father polishes you. He too has to start with the coarser sandpaper and help you to work your way toward self-realization by polishing your character with ever-finer grades of sandpaper. This is what occurs in your relationships. Many of you may experience ‘rough’ first personal encounters, but by keeping in mind the beautiful and rewarding potentials of a successful relationship, you make personal adjustments that help you relate better to each other.

“This process is an inner process, as Spirit ‘refines’ your being. Any personal work pays off in so many wonderful ways. No matter which grade of sandpaper you may be at right now, you can be put to higher service, as both coarse and fine grade sandpapers are needed in your Divine Art Studio.”
