The love of God surrounds you. The love of God upholds you. The love of God enfolds you. Wherever you are, He is. You know who I am. Let's proceed.

Sunday night I was not only speaking to you; there were many others in the room who were just as [[guilty]] of missing their [[prayer]] time as you. It is of such [[vital]] importance that I felt that I had to say something. The whole [[group]] is striving to make those improvements in their [[spiritual]] lives, but it [[simply]] cannot be done without that time taken to [[commune]] with [[the Father]]. He should be the [[focal]] spot of their lives. Without that we can not [[function]] in a way that builds a good [[relationship]] with Him. He will always be there--all we have to do is reach out and [[embrace]] Him. Please [[remember]] each day to do your [[meditation]] exercises. Now let us turn to a lesson you can read to the [[group]] on Sunday night. Proceed.

The importance of the [[earthly]] [[experience]] cannot be discounted, for it bears with it the [[magnitude]] of experience with others like yourselves. In this way only can you [[learn]] to [[relate]] to others, in a [[positive]] way, the [[love]] of [[the Father]]. He beams His [[message]] whenever He can and teaches through those of you who will be there to [[teach]] others. It is very [[difficult]] to just live on your world with all the [[problems]] you have to [[endure]], so it is [[vital]] that you learn to depend on each other. The [[dependence]] will foster that [[unity]] that [[the Father]] would like to see in any [[group]], [[family]] or [[organization]] on His world. He [[wishes]] for all His [[children]] to find it within themselves to call upon Him, but when they cannot or will not, they must have those around them who they can call upon. It is [[vital]] that you all [[understand]] how important this is because in the [[future]] you will be the core for the [[movement]] of a greater [[nature]].

You must start today [[considering]] yourselves as a [[family]]--one that [[encompasses]] [[love]]--that unconditional love with which [[the Father]] would love you. You must bring forth in each other the best that is there by genuinely [[appreciating]] those qualities about each other that are there. There may be times when you may not see all that is there to see, so I [[encourage]] you to [[pray]] concerning this matter and let [[the Father]] show you what He would have you see. Walk in each others' shoes and see through each others' eyes; for only in this way can you begin to [[understand]] each other.

Some of you still [[feel]] distanced from the others in the [[group]] and you need not feel that way. That is what this is all about--[[learning]] to [[love]] each other. If you are truly able to look at each other through the eyes of [[the Father]], then you will begin to [[appreciate]] each other more and want to spend more time [[together]]. If only [[mankind]] were to at some point begin to feel this same [[love]]- -what a [[wonderful]] world this would be. In the mean time we will work to bring about whatever [[peace]] and [[love]] we can just in our little [[group]].

Go now and [[practice]] this in all your affairs, not just in this room. The [[skills]] you [[learn]] here will carry you far in dealing with others, even those who are [[difficult]] to [[love]]. There must be a [[change]] in your [[perception]] of all [[mankind]] in order for you to truly [[love]] [[the Father]]. For as you [[love]] your brethren you show your love for Him. It is not enough that you merely [[speak]] the [[words]], you must speak with [[actions]]. [[The Father]] knows what you [[feel]] even before you are able to verbalize your [[feelings]].

If you can begin to [[change]] your [[attitudes]] about others about you, it will begin to show in all your [[relationships]]--your [[spouses]], [[children]], extended [[family]], [[friends]] and co-workers. Even the [[stranger]] on the street will notice there is a [[glow]] that [[emanates]] from you. That glow is [[intoxicating]] and will lift the spirits of anyone within [[sight]] of you. [[Our Father]]'s [[love]] is powerful. He does incredible [[work]], all you have to be is the conduit for him to bring His [[love]] to others. Only in this way can some people feel his [[presence]]. They have never had anyone be [[kind]] to them and they are unaccustomed to the [[truth]] of [[God]]'s [[love]]. The have simply never been shown. Those are the lost [[souls]] we seek to reach, those who will [[respond]] to what you have to offer.

Your bounty is so great, can't you afford to be [[generous]]? You have been given so much and to those whom [[the Father]] has given the most, the most is [[expected]]. Be [[attuned]] always to ways you can help another. You must, of course, take care of your own [[family]] and their needs first, but there is always time to take the time to [[love]] another.

[[Prayer]] time is a time for being especially [[attuned]] to others. If you are [[aware]] of another's [[struggle]], pray that they may have the [[strength]] to deal with their [[problems]]. Pray that their [[hearts]] may be open to [[the Father]] that he may show they the way. Pray that they may be willing to reach out for [[spiritual]] help so that it can more easily be there for them. Open the floodgates of love from the Father that comes from [[heaven]]. You do not yet [[realize]] all that is available to you in the way of [[resources]]. Some day you will. [[Pray]] that another will be open to new teachings. [[Pray]] that another will absorb the teachings you have already given them.

There is much to [[learn]] and much to give. Only in this [[reciprocal]] [[process]] can [[the Father]]'s [[work]] be accomplished. He [[loves]] each and every one of you, He asks that you in turn love each other. See that you try this and you will be [[amazed]] at the results. For now I will close. My [[peace]] I leave with you.
