===Opening===
I am ABRAHAM. I am here tonight with a grateful heart. I would thank you each for your devotion to our Mission. It is excellent to see that your spirituality stems beyond mere intention. You have actually helped to bring about the brotherhood within your own immediate surroundings. To go forth bravely practicing your spiritual understanding is a glimpse into the Kingdom of Heaven. No more will you wait on the sidelines looking for opportunity to show what you know. Now you are taking the initiative to be a vessel for Father to show what He knows.

Yes, the spiritual life is an active life, not active in a way that would cause you to be apprehensive, no. Active meaning, where you are, there also is your Mission assignment. Do you see your path? You each had to take a path that would qualify you for specific acts of service or apostleship. In your seemingly uneventful lives are there Mission assignments. They do not appear particularly difficult because you have already trained to handle these difficulties. Through your experience have you gained insight towards self-improvement? Yes. Through your experience together will you gain insight into the brotherhood? You have indeed grown individually and will continue to do so, but also is there collective growth, and through the understanding of the brotherhood and actual service experience will you create collective growth.

In our prayerful healings we have served our fellows through our desire to love them. In these small acts of service the recipients are made to feel lighter, well taken care of, and perhaps with greater capacity to understand those things Father wishes them to. In the act of praying for a fellow there is a comfort that is more well received by the recipient than if he or she would have prayed alone. Do you see your presence for them creates an opening to receive, not from you, the pray-er, but from Father, the Creator? Do you see how your willingness to pray with another enlarges their capacity to receive? It matters not the choice words or correct format in which to pray, no. It is your willingness and love that creates this healing of the mental and emotional.

Your discussion with one another earlier demonstrates a true brotherly respect and devotion. Your words were about the realness of life, not on the controversial topics that would perhaps drag you down. Your hearts and minds stemmed from the foundation of love and respect, wonderful brotherly qualities. The willingness to embrace truth and love is ideal for creating a safe haven where one would not fear to expose their true feelings.

The apostles of old had their moments of clinging to their juvenile practices of maintaining their status; while when hard times came to pass most of the apostles band together in the realness. Emotional upheavals are not necessary for you to band together in realness, no. Your honest everyday contemplation's on mortal living are all you would need. To be wholly faithful in your status as a child of God, among other children of God, is a beautiful beginning to understanding the brotherhood.

This week I would ask that your recognize those moments of realness, and know that within this realness is your Father. Be not [[afraid]] to be your true [[self]], your real self. Ask yourself this: In these moments of realness can I identify my [[mission]]. Are there questions?
