Do you think God has a sense of humor?

Godly Humor 

the funny side of life

Volume 8

the funny side of life

Restraint in all things—

Moderation in all things, even in the laudable desire to action.

Weigh and measure. Prove before accepting anything—

Prove by reason and intuition if you cannot wait for proof by practice.

—The Judge

What is the meaning of prompt obedience?

Do you not know that your every wish is a command that is promptly obeyed?

What does God say about give and take?

Only give!

Having nothing, yet possessing everything? If one wants nothing, he has everything.

What does fulfilment of the law mean?

Make love the sole law of your life!

What is the weight of the human spirit?

< a milligram.

Does karma always come back?

Karma―always karma!

Another thing to remember—

To posit is to create. 

Posit—

Create brotherhood.

—The Judge [War Letters]

 

Honesty is the best policy.

Hold fast that which is good.

Love your enemies―that is the surest way to overcome them.

There is nothing to be afraid of—do not say the word. It means more than you think. You must believe nothing, which is an element of fear. 

Face the situation and you will find that things will straighten out for you in time.

Trust—never lose perfect faith. You are a reflection of the great Mind and you are fearless and free.

Will, do not say a word! Do not tell people I was here. They will regard you as crazy. 

The human mind must be developed by degrees to a realization and comprehension of this stupendous revelation. 

I am not dead and never was. The physical body is not essential to the life of a spirit, and I know this. I am going on with you. 

—Brother Frank Burr

You are not your brother’s keeper. If your brother delights in the devil, let him have the pleasure of his preference. Will is free.

—“X”

 

Give love constructively!

What is the surest religion to do right?

Elevation of one's self from self is the surest religion to do right. Be willing to try to do all that is right, and only what is right. Do what is naturally right.

What is the only way to save the world?

The only way to save the world is to drench it with love—yes, love, even for the worst.

Your only limitation is your expectation.

 

Never look back with regret—look back only to learn what is behind you.

What is the only creed you need?

The only creed you need is the art of being kind. 

There is a centre in each, which if perceived will be a sure guide to one's best development. 

Like a magnet, it will draw to you all the requisite tools or conditions, for the performance of your necessary work. 

 

 

It is in very truth the voice of God, and it comes only from within. 

You must listen to that inner voice. It is there if you only knew or had faith to believe.

Oh! what a strange world this is!―

No cooking, yet we are furnished food—no dressmaking, yet we are clothed in beautiful garments—no hard toil, only that of the soul, and still, all things go on without interruption.

Golden Gleams from the Heavenly Light

You forget that the soul is the thing. Soul is the real self, the only part of you, which lasts—the divine in you, which you are sacrificing to the things of the day.

It is only the shadows frightening you by what is not.

What does God say about striving?

Life is continuous. Death is but an incident. Parting is only for a moment and heaven is right at hand. 

If only this could be comprehended, life on earth would be more nearly one of contentment and happiness.

It is not wealth, it is not power, it is not knowledge only, which gives you the key to the gate of the celestial city, but it is honest work—honest aspiration, and a willingness to leave all things, for the glory of the truth.

You can hardly by any stretch of the imagination realise what a change it is to live in a place where the only test is character, where property, station, and work do not count, nor religious profession.

The enormous importance of thought—if men only realised and cultivated their powers in this direction, they might do wonderful things.

—Claude in Spirit

There is a right thing for you to do in every circumstance if you learn how to use your God-given instincts, and trust in them. 

The change in you will seem nothing less than miraculous. 

 

The only way to do it is to get closer to the Heart of the Universe, which is God, the Father. 

Learn how to let Him dwell in you and reign in you. You have all the data. Use it and stop doubting.

You must not overvalue your little earth, for though it is a most favoured one, it is only one of countless millions.

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret, it is only with the heart that one can see rightly―

What is essential is invisible to the eye.

―Antoine de Saint-Exupery
