<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am feeling uplifted just hearing you share life
experiences. We all have our stories. We all have our gifts. We all have our
shortcomings and it feels right to be in the knowledge of acceptance. I am
pleased to be a part of your group and your lives. I thank
you.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am MARY and I also thank you. You have welcomed me with open arms and
non-judgmental attitude. This evening I am here to discuss life’s tests and
trials. When I had first come into the awareness that God is, I was somehow in
the understanding that since I was in awareness, I need not be tested in faith
and trust. It is well and good to see Father as a source of love and compassion,
but we must also see Father as the Parent. It is His mission to draw us
Paradiseward.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">There is a great deal of testing on a mortal world. Here
we begin at the bottom. I mean not to say that Father would set up before us
obstacles to teach us the hard lessons to see if we can retain our faith, no. I
mean to say that life happens and Father’s universal network helps to arrange an
ultimate good--that good that draws us Paradiseward.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">There are many individuals who take life’s tests and
trials as a personal insult and are deeply wounded and not withdrawing the value
therefrom. These individuals spend their lives compensating for past pain and
they are indeed closed off to spiritual meaning. This is not to worry however.
Again, Father, in His wonderful wisdom, eventually brings out an ultimate
good.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Before I had met the Master I believed my life had been
rather difficult and the world owed me everything. I could not see that ultimate
good of being prepared to be an apostle of Christ. I could bear great burden,
for I had experienced it firsthand and therefore I became a source of strength
to others. Before my understanding of the Master’s ministry I lived on self-pity
and fear that Father did not care for me or did not know
me.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Jesus was such a well of knowledge and His peaceful
demeanor caused me to pause and be observant. I could then look back on my life,
on my struggles and understand the value and ultimate good. While being witness
to losing the Master’s physical presence I was instilled with a determination to
bring about an ultimate good out of such sorrow. That was what the Master
wanted. He always said, “Carry on.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">This week let us make time to review life and see if we
are understanding the ultimate good or are in some way compensating for our pain
by allowing weakness to be our master. I love the energy here this evening. Yes.
That is all. From Abraham and myself, we send you with our love. Until next
time, shalom.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
