Solonia: Greetings my dear friends, this is your sister Solonia. I am
pleased to once again be with you. It is the art of being in service for our
Father to one another, it helps to free yourselves of any feelings of
obligation for in truth, service to our Father is always a free will and
voluntary act of love. I use the word art of being in service this evening,
rather than the act of being in  service and this is for a purpose.  You my
dear ones who are cognizant of so much more of the reality of the cosmos and
your place in it, responsibility to it, and desire to help with it, puts you
in a category of a somewhat higher service potential. For you, it has the
potential of becoming a true art form.

This is due in part to your awareness of the value of your service, and the
help that it will be in the bringing of light and life to your world. Indeed
it is true as you look around, as you are aware of the goings on on this
planet that light and life may seem so remote a possibility and yet truly
are you close to the early stages of light and life building, in fact it is
true that already have you begun this process. See yourselves as artists, if
you will. You look for ways that portray your own unique art form to serve
your brothers and sisters on this world.

You need not serve necessarily in preestablished ways, for indeed as artists
of service you may in fact discover and develop new ways in which to serve.
Always without exception, true service that is of value to the servant as
well as the served, must come from a sense of love. Love is the instigator
of all pure service. It matters not so much how you choose to serve your
brothers and sisters and in so doing, our Father as well, only that your
heart is in it and that your soul participates.

Many in your world serve as an act. They have examples of service which they
can follow, which they are personally attracted to. Many of us serve without
recognition of the supreme value that they serve as well as the individual,
though many serve as an obligation, many serve out of fear of retribution.
They hope to pay for a sort of eternity insurance by their acts. They do not
really know the supreme joy of serving out of pure love and devotion to our
Father. Practice your art my dear compatriots, you have the ability to make
great changes in society and the progress of your world, even though you may
be totally unable to truly understand or recognize the full results of your
serving.

Know for a fact, when it is done in love with the understanding that you are
a beloved child of God and that those whom you serve are also beloved
children of God, whether they know it or not, that your artwork is reaching
many. It is truly far reaching. It is probably a good thing for you that you
cannot yet see how far reaching it is, for it is good that you  are willing
to serve even without this recognition. For those of you who well know the
papers of the revelation, I have given you somewhat of a clue, and for those
who know not what I am referring to, continue reading for there is much in
the Urantia  book revelation  that will help to fortify you in your quest
for eternity.

I will tell you that those of us who serve on this side, truly appreciate
your artwork. It is a thing of beauty indeed. One day you each will be able
to look back on it and see it with the eyes of the spirit and then will you
understand yet another level of our beloved Creator. Take heart in your
life, knowing that truly all is working out for the best. Be steadfast in
your personal faith that all things done in love truly work actively for our
Father. Be willing to grow and to perservere through those times in which
you personally may not be able to recognize the value of what is occuring.

I would close for the evening and let you ponder these things rather than
take questions. You are all truly cherished and we would give you much
encouragement to continue unabated. Let go of stress and bask in the
everpresent love of our Universal Father. Good night my dear friends. It has
again been my pleasure to serve in this way.
