DANIEL (Nancy): Greetings dear students. It is with delight that I look upon this gathering and bask in the flame of unity that lights up Urantia’s circuitry. I am Daniel, your proud guide, teacher, colleague and friend. It is my pleasure to dialogue with you this evening regarding the Master’s directive "to be of good cheer" and what this means in your lives as you seek to grow spiritually and to peel the layers that hide the perfection of the personality bestowed by the Father.

===Lesson===
 
To be of good cheer is a state of mind that recognizes the reality of spiritual supremacy; that recognizes the reality of God, your source at the center of all that is, and recognizes His grand plan of evolution and the reality of spiritual gravity that draws you ever to the center. With this knowledge, you have hope for better days; you have faith that God IS and that God’s will will be done on earth as it is in heaven; you have faith that you will meet God face-to-face and that long before that time, you will be fused with that aspect of God promised to you. And with this knowledge, this hope and this faith, fed by the ministry of God’s miraculous host of beings, it is possible to be of good cheer even while experiencing fully the veracities of material ! living.

Virginia: Daniel, I would just say that it is nice to hear that being of good cheer is the ultimate in our faith. And that indeed it is not equal with happiness. Thank you, that’s a nice thought to consider.

My friends I realize the night is growing late, but I would offer at least one more opportunity before pulling the plug on our dialogue. We on our side are having too much fun.

Father, Source of all love, Source of all joy, Source of all hope, faith, happiness, contentment, cheer, we would ask that Your spirit would remind each of these, our brothers and sisters, of the promise they have of not just looking at eternity, but what they have in the day-by-day, moment-by-moment assurance that You really are in charge. We thank You that indeed Your will will be done on this planet and in the universe. And one day all will stand in perfection before You. Thank You.
