ABRAHAM. Greetings. What a joy it is each week for me to spend time with this
part of my family. As time passes I feel even closer to you each. I most
definitely appreciate your unique personalities, your seeking minds and open
hearts. I feel at home and I can truly be just who I am.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

course, there were times when I indwelt the mortal body that I had a certain
persona to uphold. In order to receive what I desired I had to act in a certain
manner. I felt the need to control any and all situations. From where I am now I
can say I am truly grateful for my experience. I bare not the burden that mortal
life can bring. I can be at peace and happy with who I am, knowing full well
that without a doubt I am loved.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

friends, you have each grown into your status as a child of God. Many of you see
not the world as you have in the past. You believers look to your fellows as
equals in all ways. Not money, nor power, nor status has colored your
perceptions of your fellows for quite some time now. You are new creatures. For
the most part you have given your life to Father. You have made Him your
sovereign and that surely changes your perception of anyone or anything that you
thought to have value.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

your cosmic mindal expansion you would view shaking the hand of the President of
the <st1:country-region><st1:place>United
States</st1:place></st1:country-region> as you would your neighbor. Spiritual
thinking has changed your perception and indeed this is occurring all over the
world. Man is not your sovereign. Government rulers only have power through the
voice of the people. You are not merely somebody’s wife, husband, parent, child,
employee, no. You have come into your own power as a child of God. With God we
can do all things. You may not preach from the rooftops, but I can tell you your
small ministries are aiding in the new perception of the world’s
people.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">My
lesson<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>this evening is more
directed at clearing the mind and redirecting focus, remembering who you are,
who your sovereign is, who you serve and also serves you. As you proceed into
your new calendar year ponder your many roles as an inhabitant of Urantia. What
is your most important role? As you come into understanding your own divine
status you are with new power, new authority to be about the Father’s business.
Look not at the world as if it controls you. Think not you are indebted to any
mortal. You are with freedom to be that child of God. There really is no
pressure put upon that free child of God. I care not what obligations you have.
Ponder your freedom. Clear your minds of your many roles in life. Remember that
God-self and look out of those eyes.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

Master, “If you are committed to a life in the spirit—then be committed.” Allow
the transformation. Remember that first and foremost you are Father’s child. He
shall oversee your personal growth--not mortals or employers, cultures or
society. You are with all the value that you will ever have. That is everything.
Not any one person can take that from you. You are loved and valued just as you
are. A few questions.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT
face="Times New Roman">ABRAHAM: Indeed there is a need for balance and a certain
recipe for living. The spirit life would not advance without the willingness of
the mind, and without the spirit-life, the body would certainly experience
negative effects. To become imbalanced in mind is perhaps a door closing to the
spiritual life, and yet the spiritual life should be the foundation in which you
have built all things on. To become imbalanced with work would perhaps tip the
scales more toward a material perception than a spiritual. To be fanatical with
spirituality would affect your material life in an adverse manner. Balance, my
son, really begins within the mind. Willingness to be reconciled with the will
of God is the first step to living an all around balanced good life. Is this
answering? (Yes. Thank you.) Another question?<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

face="Times New Roman">ABRAHAM: My children, you are most definitely a light in
the world. You each indeed have power to create change—good and bad. I realize
that you seem to be subject to unfair treatment, but I can say those adults in
your lives have reasons for the way they act. The adults that you know have at
some point have experienced pain and this does indeed affect the way they are
treating you. The adults believe they are doing what is best, but you each can
feel within your hearts and minds that this is not quite correct. Jesus as a boy
was indeed brilliant and enthusiastic, wanting to take on the world and yet His
parents, His teachers seemed to hold Him back. Jesus learned that at times peace
and tranquility must come first. In emotional upheaval nobody is really
listening. This is not productive or solving any problems. There are times when
each family member must compromise to keep peace. All family members should be
heard and served. Each one is important and love must come first. If you can
imagine your lives without one another, certainly that would be a pain not to be
forgotten. The difficulties you experience now will definitely be transformed
into the family closeness of tomorrow. Each one has to be willing to give a
little, compromise a little, always listen and be heard. You, my children, are
each bright lights that can change things for the better. Have not fear. Know
that you are valued children, not just to your earthly parents, but to your
divine as well. One more question.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
