touched by your ministry to one another. How you listen and respond can bring a
great deal of healing. It is interesting to see the trivialities of life go by
the wayside when seemingly harsh reality comes in. I am enjoying the
peacefulness of this evening. It is as if we are all reconciled in mind to
accepting the goodness of God. When He reveals Himself we are unafraid of truth.
We are trusting in His ability to bring an ultimate good.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt; COLOR: black">In this season of the Master’s
resurrection we find it most appropriate to discuss humility. The definition of
humility in today’s world seems to be quite a blow to the ego. In today’s world
it seems there is a continuous race to the top. It would seem the most
aggressive, self-confident individuals would be outstanding in this mortal
existence. The drive for personal progress is inherent in human nature. It is
understandable that every one of Father’s children wants to make the most out of
their life in the flesh. As we look back over history we can see how this drive
has become imbalanced and many are left with
disappointment.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt; COLOR: black">It seems to be popular in this day and age
to do what brings temporary gratification. It is rare to find the individual who
is willing to make the effort to wait upon the Father’s will. This is where we
can take the wonderful example set by our Master and put it to use in our own
lives. Jesus was a man of strength, no doubt. His humility appeared to show Him
as meek. This is not the case. Meekness is seen as resigned or in some cases
even weak. The Master’s humility was using His mortal intelligence to the
fullest. His humility was nothing more than a direct line to the Father. The
Master’s humility was an act of listening and waiting upon the
will.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt; COLOR: black">Jesus had a brilliant intellect that far
exceeded any mortal and certainly He could have relied upon His own wisdom.
However, He chose to be watchful, to listen, and to be receptive to guidance
from on High. Many times the mortal ego will put pride first and surely that
complicates any situation. For a man to believe he knows better than the God,
who created all, will certainly be humbled—not by Father’s choice, no, but
simply through experience and universal law.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt; COLOR: black">Many times in life we are humbled and the
guilt therefrom gets the better of us. It is indeed difficult to draw out the
lesson. Should we allow our humbling experiences to teach us humility, to
listen, to be watchful—then certainly would we receive all of the Father’s
guidance we could possibly handle. Being humbled is a good thing. It is to learn
perfected humility. It is to be receptive to those on High. As we review the
morontia appearances of Jesus we can find that He did not appear in form to
those who were not ready or did not believe. He did appear to those who sought
after Him, who believed in His promises. Let those that have eyes--see. Let
those that have ears--hear.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt; COLOR: black">This week ponder the struggle between the
ego and learning perfected humility. Father endures with you in all things. Your
willingness to learn humility will help you also endure. That is all. No
questions. Our time grows short. Know that my heart expands each and every week
we spend together. Go in peace. My loves goes with you. Until next time,
shalom.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
