Once this has been achieved, the development of souls and spiritual concepts will be greatly advanced. All this action will lead to a correcting and advancement toward Life and Life. This is part of the grand correcting plan and each individual is able to help by seeding, by sending resources or knowledge to those who are making ready to advance. I am most encouraged by the present level of spiritual growth throughout Urantia. Your intention to lend a hand when the circumstances seem fertile will be most effective and appreciated.

===='''''[[Abundance]]'''''====
 
As the Father pours His compassion and abundance to you, you are able to spread this abundance to help your brother in need. This is not a handout as much as an investment in the planet and a return of the abundance enjoyed by many in this world. What may seem a small gesture by you may be the needed help for great advances by developing groups. Look inward and you will find compassion and right action when the circumstances are right. It is my earnest hope that the small seeds planted will cover the planet with flowers and fruit.

Michael: [Jonathan] This is Michael and I too greet you.  A man came to me once and said, “Lord, I believe.  Help my unbelief.”  He illustrated the frustration that a hungry soul goes through.  I witnessed all about me many who felt isolated from their Creator; they felt impoverished.  They perceived the divine source of their lives as like their human rulers who hoarded the resources and took advantage of the people.  I tried to teach them that the ruler of the universe was as kind and loving as their own parents who sought for their well-being, who wanted them to grow and to stand on their own two feet in a spiritual sense as a whole person that he would not take away.

The civilization that exists on Urantia today has many worldly comforts that were not present when I was on your world.  It is easy to feel fulfilled, to lose that hunger for more, to be self satisfied.  It is also a peril to others to be caught up in continual gratification, comfort seeking, and the elevation of the importance of self, to feel that one can do it on one’s own.  I am gladdened by the many who are developing their approach to spirit with the understanding and the feeling of unity with God, of identity, of sameness with our Father, for now my children can feel the warmth of such close connection.  But I admonish all to retain within you hunger and thirst for righteousness, to take yourself to your knees and to ask once again, “How, Father, how may I live?  How may I do Your will?”  This recognition of separation of creature from Creator is a powerful force to catapult you forward, for you open your heart and you receive from the most powerful being there is.

I am gladdened that you look with concern towards the needs of your fellows.  Charity is love in action.  But I ask you also to be needy and ask, for our loving heavenly Father is ever present to comfort and to feed you and to lift you up.  In your up-liftment you are that much better prepared to give that same to others.
