Will: The love of God upholds you. The love of God enfolds you. The love of God protects you. Wherever you are, He is. I am Will.

Greetings in the start of this a new year. It should be a very special year because there is so much work to do. I realize that you would like to grow in all areas of your life and those will all happen in good time. It is important to remember that all things progress in a pattern as they should--one step at a time. You can not possibly run before you walk, and so it is in the spiritual realm. You must always be patient and allow yourself time to grow.

I would like to talk with you concerning Counting the Sheep in His Kingdom. When the shepherd goes out to find his sheep, he is aware of them all, even the tiniest. Not one of them escapes his sight. So it is with the Father. He is aware of all His little ones. Not one of them goes unnoticed. It may seem on your world like He heeds not their call, but He really does notice them. He may not be able to directly change their life circumstances at the present time, but they still have all the spiritual care as all those whose life situations seem to be better. God is no respecter of persons. It is their life He looks at, not their life circumstances. Their love in their hearts for their fellow man and their ability to show that love weighs heavily on Him as He looks upon His children.

He would so have us all love each other that none would go wanting. While I [[realize]] that your world is far from [[perfect]], it is a good testing ground for [[proving]] His [[love]] and letting His love show through to you and to all. When [[God]] is truly present in each life, there is a beacon of [[light]] which shines forth drawing those who are His [[children]] to you. They will not know what you have, but they will know that they want what you have. [[God]] is [[love]] and that love is very [[powerful]]. I have seen it in many [[family]] situations. It is a great [[healer]] and can be used to mark the way for a new beginning for many people who are lost and trying to find their way.

Our Father [[loves]] all His [[Children]] [[equally]] even those who temporarily go astray. Just as the [[shepherd]] loves his sheep, He will always seek those who are lost and draw them back to Him. [[Patient]] is [[God]], and He waits until [[eternity]] if that is what it takes, just as He did for [[Lucifer]]. This was such an unfortunate case where one so [[brilliant]] could not be reclaimed back into the fold. He was, however, allowed to make that [[free will]] choice and it must be [[respected]]. [[Our Father]] [[wept]] with the news of this [[decision]], but there was nothing He could do. It was only His [[wish]] that it could have ended [[differently]].

[[Our Father]] [[reacts]] to the falling of any of His [[children]] in a similar way, as does any loving [[parent]] who loses a [[child]]. Many times He [[wishes]] we would correct our ways before we make [[decisions]] or take [[actions]] that cannot be undone. It is only for [[the Father]] to stand by and wait while the child makes his way. All the [[spiritual]] help possible is available to the child, but if it is refused then what is [[the Father]] to do? He has given us [[free will]] for if we did not have it we would not grow. In a way, free will [[choice]] is the greatest gift He has given us outside of His [[love]]. He has given us the [[right]] to [[choose]] Him and in so doing we become more [[stable]] and [[knowledgeable]] [[creatures]].

We [[work]] at finding Him, but He has already found us. He continually draws us closer to Him, yet sometimes through our [[selfishness]] and lack of [[maturity]] we [[resist]]. If we would just follow the internal leading of the [[Adjuster]] at all times our lives would be so much easier. That is all there is to it! (Sure, Will!) You really needn't be [[sarcastic]]. Isn't that a [[number]] [[three]]? (Yes, Yes. Laugh)

[[Humor]] is important. It helps keep a [[perspective]] on life. There is far too much in your world that is [[difficult]] to deal with so please always be ready to [[laugh]]. Even on the [[Mansion Worlds]] I [[rejoiced]] to see the [[Reversion Directors]]. I did not have much of a sense of [[humor]] on my world of [[origin]], so this is something I have had to [[learn]]. I find that it has taken me some time, but I am certainly glad I have one now. Truly it helps with the tasks assigned and it is a definite [[asset]] when dealing with [[people]].

You all there are in the midst of great [[change]] and there is a great need to be [[aware]] of every way you can lift each other's burdens. It doesn't hurt to call upon each each other to find out how the day is going. Each of you need the [[contact]] and the [[knowledge]] that the others [[care]]. It is very [[difficult]] to live a life of [[isolation]]. There are very few of you capable of such a burden. Those who are especially seeking a [[spiritual]] way of life need the [[association]] of your brethren. Seek [[comfort]] through each other and find [[encouragement]] in each others [[accomplishments]]. You are all [[struggling]] the best you can and I commend you for this. There is much to [[learn]], but all in good time.
