find it an honor to be among you this evening. You can see your ministry at
work. Your willingness to share personal issues and offer solutions is a great
help to all of you who attend. I also learn and am revived in spirit when I am
witness to your discussions. Well done. As most of you know, our lesson plans
are designed to be flexible and are always subject to change. I give where I see
a need.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">Children, there is really
nothing so pressing that you cannot afford to spend a few moments with Father.
This applies to any given moment. Right now, with me, take a step higher in
mind. In this space there is rest right now. No one is demanding anything from
you. There are no deadlines, pressing issues or anything that can’t
wait.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">This is your priority,
children. This is for you. In this moment we receive. We receive the ministry of
a caring universe, the unconditional love from our Father, the attention of a
doting older Brother, the graciousness from an adoring Mother. In this moment
here and now be receptive. Receive that life giving abundance that only Father
can give. What is so important that you cannot find time every day to reach this
place in your mind?<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">Mortal life is struggle,
but it is not meant to be miserable. Father knows your every need and oversees
your well-being every moment of every day. There is nothing to fear or worry
over. You that would live a spiritual life must practice a spiritual life. You
cannot be about your business and expect peace and comfort from a loving
universe. It is simply not in your perception.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">The Master however was
always about the Father’s business and indeed all aspects of His mortal life
were looked after. Does this mean He lived a life of ease? No. He was however
working at optimum spiritual power within the mortal life. He worried less,
therefore He thought with more intelligence. He trusted Father more and His
emotions were in balance. He did do those things He knew He was supposed to do.
He rested, nourished the human body, prayed, trusted in the Father, and
therefore His life’s results were differing from those who had neglected the
body, mind and only have had trust in self.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">You speak of weakness and
will-power. This should be of no concern, for your power comes from a different
source than self. To receive the most out of life’s abundance there is a need to
hold fast to spiritual laws. To receive comfort and peace there is a need to
have faith in something more than yourself. What you put forth in life is the
exact proportion you will receive out of life.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">This week tend to your
spiritual priorities. Exercise the soul. Tame the emotional mind. Find a few
minutes every day to rise above that animal mind. You have spiritual power
directly tied into the material brain. Worry, stress and fear are enemies to
this gift. We are learning to bring forth the most from what we have. What you
know right now is only the tip of the iceberg.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

be kept short so that you may have time to prepare for the week ahead. Know that
every day you are in my thoughts. I am with the concern of a father for you
each. My love is ever growing. Until next week,
shalom.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
