P1442:4, 131:1.2
"God is supreme; he is the Most High of heaven and earth. God is the perfected
circle of eternity, and he rules the universe of universes. He is the sole
maker of the heavens and the earth. When he decrees a thing, that thing is.
Our God is one God, and he is compassionate and merciful. Everything that
is high, holy, true, and beautiful is like our God. The Most High is the light
of heaven and earth; he is the God of the east, the west, the north, and the
south.
P1442:5, 131:1.3
"Even if the earth should pass away, the resplendent face of the Supreme would
abide in majesty and glory. The Most High is the first and the last, the beginning
and the end of everything. There is but this one God, and his name is Truth.
God is self-existent, and he is devoid of all anger and enmity; he is immortal
and infinite. Our God is omnipotent and
bounteous. While he has many manifestations,
we worship only God himself. God knows all -- our secrets and our proclamations;
he also knows what each of us deserves. His might is equal to all things.
P1442:6, 131:1.4
"God is a peace giver and a faithful protector of all who fear and trust him.
He gives salvation to all who serve him. All creation exists in the power
of the Most High. His divine love springs forth from the holiness of his power,
and affection is born of the might of his greatness. The Most High has decreed
the union of body and soul and has endowed man with his own spirit. What man
does must come to an end, but what the Creator does goes on forever. We gain
knowledge from the experience of man, but we derive wisdom from the contemplation
of the Most High.
P1443:1, 131:1.5
"God pours rain upon the earth, he causes the sun to shine upon the sprouting
grain, and he gives us the abundant harvest of the good things of this life
and eternal salvation in the world to come. Our God enjoys great authority;
his name is Excellent and his nature is unfathomable. When you are sick, it
is the Most High who heals you. God is full of goodness toward all men; we
have no friend like the Most High. His mercy fills all places and his goodness
encompasses all souls. The Most High is changeless ; and he is our helper
in every time of need. Wherever you turn to pray, there is the face of the
Most High and the open ear of our God. You may hide yourself from men, but
not from God. God is not a great distance from us; he is omnipresent. God
fills all places and lives in the heart of the man who fears his holy name.
Creation is in the Creator and the Creator in his creation. We search for
the Most High and then find him in our hearts. You go in quest of a dear friend,
and then you discover him within your soul.
P1443:2, 131:1.6
"The man who knows God looks upon all men as equal; they are his brethren.
Those who are selfish, those who ignore their brothers in the flesh, have
only
weariness as their reward. Those who love their fellows and who have
pure hearts shall see God. God never forgets sincerity. He will guide the
honest of heart into the truth, for God is truth.
P1443:3, 131:1.7
"In your lives overthrow error and overcome evil by the love of the living
truth. In all your relations with men do good for evil. The Lord God is merciful
and loving; he is forgiving. Let us love God, for he first loved us. By God's
love and through his mercy we shall be saved. Poor men and rich men are brothers.
God is their Father. The evil you would not have done you, do not to others.
P1443:4, 131:1.8
"At all times call upon his name, and as you believe in his name, so shall
your prayer be heard. What a great honor it is to worship the Most High! All
the worlds and the universes worship the Most High. And with all your prayers
give thanks -- ascend to worship. Prayerful worship shuns evil and forbids
sin. At all times let us praise the name of the Most High. The man who takes
shelter in the Most High conceals his defects from the universe. When you
stand before God with a clean heart, you become fearless of all creation.
The Most High is like a loving father and mother; he really loves us, his
children on earth. Our God will forgive us and guide our footsteps into the
ways of salvation. He will take us by the hand and lead us to himself. God
saves those who trust him; he does not compel man to serve his name.
P1443:5, 131:1.9
"If the faith of the Most High has entered your heart, then shall you abide
free from fear throughout all the days of your life. Fret not yourself because
of the prosperity of the ungodly; fear not those who plot evil; let the soul
turn away from sin and put your whole trust in the God of salvation. The weary
soul of the wandering mortal finds eternal rest in the arms of the Most High;
the wise man hungers for the divine embrace; the earth child longs for the
security of the arms of the Universal Father. The noble man seeks for that
high estate wherein the soul of the mortal blends with the spirit of the Supreme.
God is just: What fruit we receive not from our
plantings in this world we
shall receive in the next."
