The Scribe: “Once upon a [[time]], and really not all that long ago, if one belonged to ‘the [[common]] people’ one was destined to go into [[service]] to the rather well-heeled of the [[population]]. In many places on our globe — and I have every right and [[reason]] to call her our globe, since I gave much of Myself to [[Urantia]] in service — such is still the case. Certainly, I [[promise]] you, that the advent of [[education]] for the entire population did much for those of ‘the [[average]] citizens’ to rise to more eminent trades and distinguished [[professions]] within the population.

“Do not make the mistake of [[thinking]] these new, more or less ‘self-made’ [[entrepreneur]] are not in [[service]]. They are in service! Just like the kitchen [[maid]] and washer woman of your distant [[past]], my friend. And so, in the end [[analysis]], is every living and thinking creature that [[God]] made in these universes. This world — I say our world, and now I see you are getting used to my way of thinking — is all about service, from the most distinguished [[celestial]] to the least educated of our [[wild]] men in the endless [[forests]].

“Everyone is to serve his fellow man and woman, no [[exception]]. As well, every single person is to be served. And when you hear a child [[cry]] and cry and sob, some [[parent]] or caregiver likely is not doing the job they are meant to do. And when you see a [[homeless]] person on the streets on a [[cold]] night with nowhere to go but to [[brave]] the onslaught of that chilly [[weather]], some [[politician]] likely has their priorities mixed up and with him or her so have a great number of others that can provide the funds for a warm bed.

“Worlds like ours — (hears a chuckle) — that have [[everything]] in great measure and [[abundant]] volume are an absolute rarity. Countless would consider themselves extremely lucky to live in such a plentiful [[home]] world and care for its [[soils]], flora and fauna but before all and above all those men and women in need. Still, when you do not have the means, you can at least make a warm [[gesture]] or show a friendly [[smile]]. It surely would give Me the [[feeling]] that you are about God’s business.

“Our earth is simply the schoolyard for life [[hereafter]] where all become engrossed in providing [[service]] to others — and where you learn to be able to teach and provide service as you constantly [[work]] to bring yourself closer to the greatest Provider of Service in our universes.
