Believing that people are perfect and governed by divine harmony will produce a definite result. The creative power of God is individualized in every soul. The immediate availability of earning the Lord’s blessing based on obedience to his laws. Earning the Lord trust comes as a result of being true to the covenants we have made. God wants a loving relationship with his children. God did not need to create humankind. He was not lonely before we arrived on the planet. His life was perfect. God wants us to love him with all of our heart and with all of our soul and mind and strength. God wants is all to be one, big, happy family. Integrity of the heart is demonstrated by a righteous person’s character. Conscious and practical application of spiritual thought force to the solution of human problems, the inevitable necessity is that good shall come to every soul; the belief in immortality and the continuity of the individual stream of consciousness, and eternal expansion of the individual life, the awakening. When we keep our promises to the Lord, his trust grows in us. People who have integrity of heart are people to be trusted because one’s intentions, as well as actions, are pure and righteous in all aspects of one’s life, both public and private. #RandolphHarris 1 of 5
Every person becomes an individualized center of God consciousness, eternally expanding. All the unfulfilled desires for love, union, and closeness find their satisfaction in the our divinely accomplished responsibilities. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all people. We have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things. The goal is to emerge with more knowledge and more strength. Love is possible if we communicate with each other from the center of our existence, which is human reality, and here is the basis of love. Love, experienced is a constant challenge; it is not a resting place, but moving, growing, working together; even when there is harmony or conflict, joy or sadness because the only proof of existence is love. To be honest means to be sincere, truthful, and without deceit at all times. It is a commandment from God to be honest, and complete honesty is necessary for our salvation. Being honest with oneself is the more important thing to do. When we are honest in all things, big and small, we experience peace of mind and a clear conscience. #RandolphHarris 2 of 5
Our relationships are enriched because they are based on trust. And the greatest blessing that comes from being honest is that we are able to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost. Many modern people have transformed themselves into a commodity; they experience their life’s energy as an investment with which we should make the highest profit, considering our position and the situation on the personality market. Sometimes we alienate ourselves from our fellow people and from our nature. Our main aim becomes profitable exchange of our skills, knowledge, and of ourselves, our personality package with others who are equally intent on a fair and profitable exchange. Life has no goal except the one to move, no principle except the one of fair exchange, no satisfaction except the one to consume. What can the concept of God mean under these circumstances? The belief in God has been transformed into a psychological device to make one better fitted from the competitive struggle. Belief in God and prayer is recommended as a means to increase one’s ability to be successful. #RandolpHarris 3 of 5
Just as modern psychiatrists recommend happiness of the employee, in order to be more appealing to the customers, some ministers recommend the love of God to be more successful. Make God your partner means make God a partner in business, love, justice, and truth. Acknowledge God’s leadership while you are doing your part. When we are tempted to be dishonest, and this temptation comes to all of us, we may suppose that no one will ever know. However, our Heavenly Father always knows, and we are ultimately accountable to him. This knowledge helps us continually strive to live up to this covenant with God: We believe in being honest. Being true means to be steadfast, loyal, accurate or without deviation. Being true to our beliefs—even when doing so is not popular, easy, nor fun—keeps us safely on the path that leads to eternal life with our Heavenly Father. We are made up of truth and belief. While the Universal mind contains all knowledge, and is the potential of all things, only as much as truth comes to us as we are able to receive it. Each of us draws from the source of all knowledge that to which we inwardly listen. #RandolphHarris 4 of 5
Being true also allows us to have a beneficial effect on the lives of others. We must believe in being honest and true and also commit to live that promise each day and every day. As we do this, our Heavenly Father’s strength, love, and blessings will sustain us as we do the work we were sent here to do. Believing that God comes to the consciousness in our innermost self, allows us to cultivate the inner life, knowing that spiritual certainty is the result of an impact of God upon the soul. Human experience must be kept free from petty ideas, from personal ambitions, and from any attempt to promote our opinions. Science knows nothing of opinion, but recognizes a government of law whose principles are universal. These laws, when complied with, respond alike to all. Religion is still being discovered. God is the great innovator of the World by divine authority. The highest spiritual perception is a deathless reality of the individual life, the continuity of the soul, the unity of the Universal spirit of all people. All people are incarnations of God. We stand in the light of a mighty presence, while love forever points the way to Heaven. Behind all is a unity, through all is a diversity, saturating all is a divinity. #RandolphHarris 5 of 5
