===Quote===
“[[Devote]] your life to proving that [[love]] is the greatest thing in the world.” ([[192:2|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 being]]s, 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.”
