  12. Friends,

    Now one full year of Thought Gems is in place for constant inspiration any time you like for any specific day of the year.

    The next stage of development I suggest, is to invite you to add your own Thought Gem based on the concept expressed in the particular daily thought gem. Today, 1 August is “Overthrow error and overcome evil by the love of the living truth do good for evil” a suggested match would be:

    In all your relations with men do good for evil  

    [ Paper 131:1.7, page 1443:3]

     

  13. Vern wrote: Today, 2 August is “If the faith of the Most High has entered your heart you shall abide free from fear all the days of your life” a suggested match would be:

    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  

    [ Paper 131:1.9, page 1443:5]

  14. Vern wrote: Today, 3 August is “Fret not yourself because of the prosperity of the ungodly fear not those who plot evil let the soul turn away from sin put your whole trust in the God of salvation” a suggested match would be:

     The Lord knows the way of the righteous,

    but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;

    the knowledge of the Supreme is understanding.

    Says the Almighty God: ‘Walk before me and be perfect.’

    Forget not that pride goes before destruction

    and a haughty spirit before a fall.

    He who rules his own spirit is mightier than he who takes a city 

    [ Paper 131:2.6, page 1444:6]

  15. Vern wrote:  Today, 4 August is “Make no apology for evil make no excuse for sin by making amends for past sins you acquire strength to resist future tendencies thereto” a suggested match would be:

    The fool has said in his heart,

    ‘Evil shall not overtake me’;

    but safety is found only when

    the soul craves reproof and

    the mind seeks wisdom

    [ Paper 131:3.6, page 1447:3]

  16. Vern wrote:  Today, 5 August is “No man can rob you of the liberty of your own mind” a suggested match would be:

    When the faith of your religion

    has emancipated your heart,

    when the mind, like a mountain,

    is settled and immovable,

    then shall the peace of the soul

    flow tranquilly like a river of waters

    [ Paper 131:3.4, page 1447:1]

  17. Vern wrote:  Today, 6 August is “Attainment of immortal wisdom eludes those who persist in being slothful, indolent, feeble, idle, shameless and selfish” a suggested match would be:

    Remember, every act shall receive its reward.

    Evil results in sorrow and sin ends in pain.

    Joy and happiness are the outcome of a good life

    [ Paper 131:3.5, page 1447:2]

  18. Vern wrote:  Today, 7 August is “He is the greatest of warriors who overcomes and subdues himself” a suggested match would be:

    He alone is a

    superior person who

    esteems virtue and is

    observant of his duty

     

    [ Paper 131:3.6, page 1447:3]

  19. Vern wrote: Today, 8 August is “Contentment is the greatest wealth” a suggested match would be:

    Pay good for evil;

    overcome evil

    with the good

    [ Paper 131:3.6, page 1447:3]

  20. Vern wrote:Today, 9 August is “Let not anger and hate master you speak harshly of no one” a suggested match would be:

    A righteous soul is more to be desired

    than the sovereignty of all the earth.

    Immortality is the goal of sincerity;

    death, the end of thoughtless living

    [ Paper 131:3.7, page 1447:4]
