WILL: The love of God surrounds us. The love of God upholds us. The love of God enfolds us. Wherever we are, He is.

WILL: The [[love]] of [[God]] [[surrounds]] us. The love of God upholds us. The love of God enfolds us. Wherever we are, He is.

I am Will. I have enjoyed listening to you tonight all the discussions, all the experiences you have had in the past week. This is truly a great time for you all. We are moving forward with such incredible speed. Far better than I ever could have expected. This can only have happened because of your dedication to the process at hand. It is so important that we continue at this rate, for there is much work to do. Grateful are we all that you have chosen to come and share this time with us. To share the activities that truly must be done in order to bring this planet into the Ages of Light and Life. For without such help, your world cannot progress as it needs to. I have many times watched as you all struggle to take on the responsibilities of those things that we have asked you to do. We asked that you continue with the 1,2,3 exercise and exercise each day as you go through your daily life, always be ready and willing to work for God. Be ready for whatever circumstances are provided for you to show His love to others. He is there for you always and He will be there to assist you even in the circumstances that you may find difficult. Pleasing it is to Him when He looks upon His children and finds that they are struggling to find Him in their lives.

I am Will. I have enjoyed [[listening]] to you tonight all the [[discussions]], all the experiences you have had in the past week. This is truly a great [[time]] for you all. We are moving forward with such incredible [[speed]]. Far better than I ever could have [[expected]]. This can only have happened because of your [[dedication]] to the [[process]] at hand. It is so important that we continue at this [[rate]], for there is much [[work]] to do. [[Grateful]] are we all that you have [[chosen]] to come and [[share]] this time with us. To share the [[activities]] that truly must be done in order to bring this [[planet]] into the Ages of [[Light and Life]]. For without such help, your world cannot [[progress]] as it needs to. I have many times watched as you all [[struggle]] to take on the [[responsibilities]] of those things that we have asked you to do. We asked that you continue with the 1,2,3 [[exercise]] and exercise each day as you go through your daily life, always be ready and willing to [[work]] for [[God]]. Be ready for whatever [[circumstances]] are provided for you to show His [[love]] to others. He is there for you always and He will be there to [[assist]] you even in the [[circumstances]] that you may find [[difficult]]. Pleasing it is to Him when He looks upon His children and finds that they are [[struggling]] to find Him in their lives.

This is a time for all of you to [[rejoice]], for so much has been accomplished. It is [[the Father]]'s [[love]] that moves you. It is the Father's love that fills you all with such [[joy]], so that you may accomplish your daily tasks. So it is with each of you, as you deal with other, as you deal with your [[children]], your co-workers, your [[family]]. Y[[our Father]] asked that you call upon Him, for indeed He should be the [[center]] of your life. The [[pressures]] that you [[feel]] to [[conform]] to the [[modern]] world should come second to [[God]], for He should be highest [[priority]] in your lives. There are many [[temptations]] on your world, many things that draw you away from His [[presence]], but if you have your [[mind]] [[focused]] on Him at all times, then other [[things]] would have little [[chance]] of calling you away from His [[presence]]. He [[adores]] you. You are His [[children]]. It is so easy in your world to [[forget]] that [[the Father]] [[loves]] you more than you can possibly love anyone else. If you can possibly have that [[understanding]], then that would give you the [[strength]] and the [[courage]] that you need to carry out your daily life.

Continue your prayers, your meditation and, each day, take time to spend with Him, so that He may help you lift your burden. It is not a difficult thing to do. It only takes a few minutes, and you would be surprised how much easier the rest of your day would go and how much the stress that you have during the day would be alleviated, if you would only take the time that He has asked you to take. Your world is far too stressful to think that you can get away without calling on Him. Those of you who are still not practicing daily, I urge you, please take the time to do what we ask you to do. In this way, too, you will find that you will be attuning yourself more and more to the Adjuster within. We can help you and the Adjuster can help you find your way. Life can be made so much easier and all those things that you would like to have in the way of spiritual growth will come your way eventually.

Please be [[aware]] that I am with you. [[God]] is with you. There are many other [[spiritual]] [[beings]] of whom you are not yet [[aware]], who daily help you. All of them will be [[revealed]] in time. At this point in [[time]], you are already aware of some of them. They have been [[revealed]] through the others who can [[communicate]], and there will be more [[revealed]] as well. At this time, relish the [[joy]] that you have, the [[possibility]] of [[seeking]] these others, and rejoice in the [[knowledge]] that you already are able to [[contact]] those who are presently working with you.

For now, you will grow. For now you must all find your way in different ways. But in the long run, it will be necessary for you all to come together and to share your experiences because, indeed, you bring through your own experiences, strength and hope to the others. You have no idea how bringing your experiences has affected the members of the group. Even those who are not able to communicate directly with me-their lives are touched immensely and this communication must continue if they are to grow. In time we feel that we may be able to reach you all, so please continue with your meditation. It is of vital importance. I would now like to talk with you concerning another subject.

[[God]] seeks you all in very [[different]] ways. You are each [[unique]], and God would [[preserve]] this uniqueness. He does not seek to make you [[uniform]]. He wants only that you [[love]] Him, and He will [[display]] His love for you in a [[unique]] way, so that you will be able to [[comprehend]] it. Advances in that [[comprehension]] will come in time. You need not be concerned at the [[moment]] with what you do not [[understand]]. I am [[aware]] that you have many [[questions]] and those questions will be answered in [[time]]. But for right now you have all that you need to [[know]]. Those of you who still have such questioning minds, rest [[assured]] that all [[knowledge]] will be yours, even if not for the [[moment]].

This is a time for all of you to rejoice, for so much has been accomplished. It is the Father's love that moves you. It is the Father's love that fills you all with such joy, so that you may accomplish your daily tasks. So it is with each of you, as you deal with other, as you deal with your children, your co-workers, your family. Your Father asked that you call upon Him, for indeed He should be the center of your life. The pressures that you feel to conform to the modern world should come second to God, for He should be highest priority in your lives. There are many temptations on your world, many things that draw you away from His presence, but if you have your mind focused on Him at all times, then other things would have little chance of calling you away from His presence. He adores you. You are His children. It is so easy in your world to forget that the Father loves you more than you can possibly love anyone else. If you can possibly have that understanding, then that would give you the strength and the courage that you need to carry out your daily life.

I want to thank you all for coming tonight. It is so [[vital]] that we continue to [[work]] [[together]]. I see the [[love]] that you all have for each other. It [[grows]] every week you come together. This is so important to the [[program]], for through this [[love]], [[God]] will strengthen you and your [[companionship]].

[[Remember]] what I said about calling each other. If you are having a rough time, call on someone else. Don't stay at [[home]] and [[feel]] sorry for yourself. The others are as close as the telephone. Pick it up, and call someone, and say that you need to [[talk]]. Those of you who tend to be more [[alone]] than others, I [[realize]] that it is more [[difficult]] for you to do that. Go out to lunch. Go to each others' [[homes]], but don't stay at home and feel bad for what is going on with you. Your [[isolation]] is the worst thing that you can do to yourself. The [[association]] with your brethren, the [[love]] that you [[feel]] for them, and them for you will help you in your [[healing]] and in drawing you closer to [[the Father]]. God's [[family]] [[encompasses]] all and He would have you know that if you would only reach out to each other, you would [[realize]] that. Far too many of you tend to be loners and in the [[spiritual]] realm, as well as on [[earth]], that is simply not the most productive way to live your life. It is only in the [[association]] with other spiritual [[believers]] that you truly [[grow]].

Please be aware that I am with you. God is with you. There are many other spiritual beings of whom you are not yet aware, who daily help you. All of them will be revealed in time. At this point in time, you are already aware of some of them. They have been revealed through the others who can communicate, and there will be more revealed as well. At this time, relish the joy that you have, the possibility of seeking these others, and rejoice in the knowledge that you already are able to contact those who are presently working with you.

We have much [[work]] to do, but the work will be fun. There will be times when it will be very [[light]]-[[heart]]ed, but I will continue to push you. I will continue to act as your [[teacher]], as someone who will lead you forward, and who will also keep you from getting [[lazy]]. There is much [[work]] and I am glad I am here with you. I am enjoying being your [[teacher]]. It is a great [[honor]]. Our time is drawing short. If you have any [[questions]], I will be glad to answer them, since you have not been given the [[opportunity]] lately to ask any questions.

BENJAMIN: Should I continue to [[encourage]] my [[wife]] to read the [[transcripts]], or leave it alone and let her do it at her own [[rate]]?

God seeks you all in very different ways. You are each unique, and God would preserve this uniqueness. He does not seek to make you uniform. He wants only that you love Him, and He will display His love for you in a unique way, so that you will be able to comprehend it. Advances in that comprehension will come in time. You need not be concerned at the moment with what you do not understand. I am aware that you have many questions and those questions will be answered in time. But for right now you have all that you need to know. Those of you who still have such questioning minds, rest assured that all knowledge will be yours, even if not for the moment.

WILL: My son, no one can push another into the [[spiritual]] kingdom. That [[person]] can only be led. As she sees the [[changes]] within you, she will be drawn back into the [[group]]. She knows the [[struggles]] which you have been going through and, as she sees you [[change]], she will want to come back. You will not have to say anything to her. Be [[patient]] with her. Her time may not be right. There is always later and Susie is a loved child of God just as you are. Another question.

I want to thank you all for coming tonight. It is so vital that we continue to work together. I see the love that you all have for each other. It grows every week you come together. This is so important to the program, for through this love, God will strengthen you and your companionship.

JUDY: We are [[happy]] to have Susan here with us tonight, and Susan has been kept up on [[events]] through Eric and Soldette. Another member of our [[group]], Joan, is [[thinking]] about coming back but she hasn't had the [[privilege]] of week-to-week happenings. Is there a way that we can help her [[integrate]] into the group without our new [[interactions]] [[surprising]] her?

Remember what I said about calling each other. If you are having a rough time, call on someone else. Don't stay at home and feel sorry for yourself. The others are as close as the telephone. Pick it up, and call someone, and say that you need to talk. Those of you who tend to be more alone than others, I realize that it is more difficult for you to do that. Go out to lunch. Go to each others' homes, but don't stay at home and feel bad for what is going on with you. Your isolation is the worst thing that you can do to yourself. The association with your brethren, the love that you feel for them, and them for you will help you in your healing and in drawing you closer to the Father. God's family encompasses all and He would have you know that if you would only reach out to each other, you would realize that. Far too many of you tend to be loners and in the spiritual realm, as well as on earth, that is simply not the most productive way to live your life. It is only in the association with other spiritual believers that you truly grow.

WILL: [Pause.] I am thinking. [Pause.] Joan may not yet be at a point where as she is ready to [[accept]] what is going on here. It might be better for the present time that she not be told. It is [[difficult]] to tell someone, though, that they cannot come, since she has been a [[part]] of you for so many years. If she does indeed come next week, then it would be her [[choice]], after seeing what is going on, whether she wants to continue.

We have much work to do, but the work will be fun. There will be times when it will be very light-hearted, but I will continue to push you. I will continue to act as your teacher, as someone who will lead you forward, and who will also keep you from getting lazy. There is much work and I am glad I am here with you. I am enjoying being your teacher. It is a great honor. Our time is drawing short. If you have any questions, I will be glad to answer them, since you have not been given the opportunity lately to ask any questions.

It is my [[opinion]], at this point in time, that she has come back into the [[group]], and there be no [[preparation]] as far as lending her [[Urantia Text|the papers]]. If she asks for the papers, then, of course, it would be her [[choice]] to read them. But she has to be ready, and the [[choice]] has to be hers.

BENJAMIN: Should I continue to encourage my wife to read the transcripts, or leave it alone and let her do it at her own rate?

My [[message]] to you is being blocked, because of some [[resistance]] from the [[receiver]]. Let's leave this for right now. Any other questions? If not, I will say [[goodbye]] for the night. My peace I leave with you.

WILL: My son, no one can push another into the spiritual kingdom. That person can only be led. As she sees the changes within you, she will be drawn back into the group. She knows the struggles which you have been going through and, as she sees you change, she will want to come back. You will not have to say anything to her. Be patient with her. Her time may not be right. There is always later and Susie is a loved child of God just as you are. Another question.

[[Shalom]].
