of the Correcting Time is not easy or even efficient. It takes great patience on
the part of those who choose to live their lives according to the Master’s

you who practice the Teaching Mission will help steady those who are frozen in

As you have said, sometimes things must get worse before they are better. With
the access of media you don’t hear all of the facts that would add to our
definition of an overall picture of Urantia’s happenings. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN

to keep updated and encouraged. I believe my greatest lesson in the flesh would
be learning patience and that the universe has not the concept of time that
mortals do. We, as mortals, have developed our own concept of time and it is not
the same as Father’s universe. I know that in wading through deep lessons is
sometimes damaging in many ways if mortals should so choose to allow it.

style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-bidi-font-family: calibri"><FONT face=Georgia>I know
that what was so memorable for me is observing the Master’s patience in many
areas of mortal living. I am especially affected by the event of the crucifixion
where He said “I thirst,” and He was offered wine/vinegar as perhaps a buffer
from the pain, physical and mental, and He refused. He wholeheartedly chose to
go by the Father’s will.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal align=justify><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-bidi-font-family: calibri"><FONT face=Georgia>He could
have escaped the pain of the scourging, the humiliation. He could have screamed
out His defense, but His mind was so in tune with Father’s that He knew what
exactly to do in those moments. A pillar of strength, yes, and I believe that He
attained that from His devotion to the Father’s will. I always wondered how
could He choose to not have a partner and perhaps some children; but He knew
what the Father’s will was and His desires were modified. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal align=justify><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-bidi-font-family: calibri"><FONT face=Georgia>Look
within at your own pain—each area in your life, be it physical, financial, or
mental and emotional. With each event are you aware of staving off your desires
for a time to allow Father to communicate with you? That’s why I mentioned the
time differences—because you have to be okay in waiting and with patience. The
world today is so instant, temporary and disposable. You cannot expect Father to
play in this game. He is our Father yesterday, today and tomorrow and His plan
is perfect. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal align=justify><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-bidi-font-family: calibri"><FONT face=Georgia>With a
devotion to the doing of Father’s will, your connection is better with Father or
His universe helpers and your desires are changed, your picture is bigger. You
will be able to have confidence on the path you are traveling because you know
it’s in line with Father’s will. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal align=justify><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-bidi-font-family: calibri"><FONT face=Georgia>I am
inspired by the Master’s life because He did not choose the easy-instant way
out. He did not seek escape. He thought about it, but His devotion to the ‘doing
of Father’s will’ won out. How could one live a more perfect life in 36 years?
Not a long time, but He chose strength over weakness, wisdom over mysticism,
education instead of assumptions. </FONT></SPAN></P>

are your eyes to see with? Where are your ears to hear? Where is your mind at
these days? Where is your free will and what have you chosen? Are you hiding in
isolation and weakness or are you striving to embrace the light? You are to live
life on purpose, not let life randomly live you. Many times we can lose focus
and it is completely understood.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: "><FONT

suggest for the month ahead to think about how the Master made choices. Where
was His mind? What was the practice in which He connected with Father? Where did
such strength come from that He did not run and hide from His problems? Let’s
look up above these earthly fireworks to make connection with Father and His
familial universe. </FONT></SPAN></P>
