am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am also with gratitude to dip my cup into this endless
well of love and strength. This time of year on your world has led me to ponder
generosity and good will. It would seem that those that have an abundance give
freely, while those that must be cautious tend to be closed off. Each of you
know by now that spirituality is an abundant well that never runs dry. We can
feel the Spirit to literally be an energy. The more effort we make to align with
the Father’s will, the more energy that seems to fuel our minds, bodies and
spirits. It would seem that being progressive is of great priority in the mortal
life. Progress comes in many forms to many individuals. Once we are well into
understanding true meanings and values we find out the true definition of
progress.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Last week Mary suggested that you think of an individual
who is particularly inspiring, come what may. When we look at these inspiring
individuals they seem to be with an unstoppable energy. Sure, there are
disappointments, even bitter, painful memories, but in these individuals there
is a understanding that no matter what happens keep on trying, keep hope, faith
and love alive. These are the individuals who know of that well of unending
spiritual energy. They don’t hold back. There is always plenty. They are always
in a generous and giving mode. Those who are in this generous mindset are in
understanding of true meanings and values. They give of their time to others.
They live to bring laughter. They show their concern for others by listening.
There is peace in such an accepting individual.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

am MICHAEL. I would bring you the message that I am joy-filled to be a part of
that endless well of love and strength. You know I go before you. It is my
desire to help this world into a new and better age. I am with understanding
that many moments can be so difficult and discouraging and I can promise you
that I am in every moment. I understand every tear. I am in that energy you feel
in the generosity of spirit. I would have you feel comfort in your ability to
carry on and help the Kingdom to flourish with what is truly meaningful and
valuable. This is the time on Urantia when many think of me as that helpless
babe some two thousand years ago. I am grateful that in this Correcting Time I
am seen as a driving force for truth, beauty and goodness. Again, I go before
you. I love you. Carry on.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
