Spiritual Resilience and True Self-Respect

Spiritual Resilience and True Self-RespectGod-knowing people are not discouraged by misfortune or downcast by disappointment. Those who believe in the kingdom of heaven are immune to the depression that comes with life's problems. People who live in the spirit are not upset by the material world, and those who want eternal life are resourceful at meeting life's problems, and every day they find it easier to do the right thing. A spiritual life eminently increases true self-respect, but that is not self-admiration. Self-respect always includes love and service for others. It is not possible to respect yourself more than you love your neighbor. The one is the measure of the other.Excerpt from: Son of Man: Urantia, Ch. 35, The Stay at Tyre and SidonSon of Man: Urantia, is a restatement of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the Urantia revelation and in accordance with its urging to do so for today’s generation.Son of Man: Urantia—FREE—chapters and excerpts, text and video (English and Spanish)Son of Man: Urantia, Books: (English and Spanish)https://www.lulu.com/search?page=1&sortBy=RELEVANCE&q=son+of+man%3A+urantia&pageSize=10&adult_audience_rating=00Son of Man: Urantia, PDF’s (English and Spanish) and merchandisehttps://son-of-man-urantia.sellfy.storeBob This is a public episode.
