453.  They Live as though They Depended Not on Me, But
      on Themselves Alone (December 30, 1992)
  Nancy was reading from page 126 in the chapter about Self-Deception
in the book "My Daily Bread" when the Risen Christ appeared.  Jesus
has told Nancy that it is very important and to write down what she is
doing when this happens.  Nancy was reading the following:

  CHRIST: "My child, you have no idea how easy it is for men to
  deceive
themselves in this earthly life. Many think that they are living a
good life simply because they are performing a few external works.
They go to church once or twice a week, say some prayers daily, and
commit no public crimes.
  "Yet I am displeased with them. In their everyday life, they live as
  though
they depended not on Me, but on themselves alone. [At this point the
Risen Christ appeared to Nancy] In a crowd they are not particularly
noticeable for their patience, or kindness, or sympathy, or
unselfishness.
  "Many are too interested in following their daily occupations and
  interests
to bother how I want them to follow these things. They do not deny My
wisdom in theory. They simply disregard it in practice. They act as
though I did not quite understand their daily problems. Actually it is
they who do not understand their daily problems. If they followed My
words, many of their difficulties would cease being problems.
  "Some people are afraid to apply My words to their everyday life.
  They
are afraid of losing some world advantage or earthly enjoyment."
