(A) Love the Lord, eschew evil. Do not find faults nor look for faults in either. Not that they do not exist, and that thou art not conscious of same; but more and more become conscious of the beauty in each. And we will find happiness, joy.

Sorrow, hardships—yes; but glory rather that these make for a new day, a new opportunity for each to be the stay as for the other in their seeking as one to be a channel of blessings to others. 688-4

(Q) Is there anything in particular I can do now to accomplish the reason for present incarnation?

(A) If there hadn’t been you wouldn’t be allowed to be in the earth in the present! These become self-evident facts in themselves, or should, to those who apply themselves: belief in God, belief in self, belief in the divinity of man’s relationship to God, accomplished for, by and through one, Jesus the Christ. The belief, the faith, the doing of that thy hands find to do which is in accord with, in compliance with His desires, gives reason, gives purpose, accomplishes that. For what were His words? "Father, I come to thee, I have finished the work thou gavest me to do." Hast thou finished the work He gave thee to do; hast thou sought to know the work? Hast thou walked and talked with Him oft? It is thy privilege. Will ye? 3051-7

There are faults; there are virtues. Magnify in thy life and thy experience all the virtues, as love, hope, brotherly kindness, gentleness, patience. This ye need to guard closely as a teacher, as an instructor, and that ye need to use, particularly in that in which ye may do the best, in thy writing. While you may never set the world on fire, you may change the opinions of masses. 5214-1

Be sure there is not too much difference made in ideas and ideals, for, as has so oft been given, these must of necessity, for the accomplishment of the purport of teaching, training, and giving to a waiting world the individual truths as may be exemplified in the individuals’ lives, until that or those individuals may become one with that purport as is being set forth—an idea may be beautiful, may be wonderful, but without the background of an ideal becomes as but sounding brass, or as the gourd without water.
