FUNDORE: The love of God surrounds you. The love of God upholds you. The love of God enfolds you. Wherever He is, you are. Greetings to you. I would like to introduce myself to you. Will is unavailable tonight and since you seem receptive to talking, it perhaps would be a good time to acquaint ourselves. This form of communication is of a great advantage because if affords us the opportunity to directly contact humans. However there are only a few of you who are able to do it much less handle the emotional ramifications. It is a very exciting thing to be able to do and yet you handle it with much calm. My congratulations.

MELISSA: Who are you?

MELISSA: Who are you?

FUNDORE: My name is Fundore and I will talk to you tonight in Will's absence. There are many things I would like to tell you. Perhaps if you were to start a new page, I could dictate a message that you could give to your Urantia group on Sunday evening.

FUNDORE: My name is Fundore and I will [[talk]] to you tonight in [[Will]]'s [[absence]]. There are many things I would like to tell you. Perhaps if you were to start a new page, I could [[Dictation|dictate]] a [[message]] that you could give to your [[Urantia]] [[group]] on Sunday evening.

FUNDORE: All of you gathered here tonight have little true [[appreciation]] of how special you are. There is much afoot and it is a [[joyous]] time. You who have consented to be the [[torchbearers]] for the [[movement]] ahead yet [[realize]] how much is in store for you. There are [[exciting]] times ahead.

[[Our Father]] is well [[aware]] of the hard [[work]] and the [[dedication]] you have to the [[Urantia book]] and its teachings. He smiles over the [[progress]] you have made and looks forward to the day when He can [[personally]] [[welcome]] each and every one of you on the shores of [[Paradise]]. That may be yet [[eons]] away, but it will happen--you can be sure of that. There is much to [[learn]] and much work that has to be done in the mean time.

Be [[prepared]] to be the [[tool]] used for whatever He calls you to do. You will never know what special tasks you may be called upon to do and there is always something that can be accomplished in His name. Even the smallest daily task can be [[dedicated]] to Him and be done to His [[glory]]. Not one of you need [[feel]] like your work is unimportant. It all helps you to [[grow]]. [[The Father]] will find a way, if you let Him, to use what you do to [[glorify]] [[the kingdom]].

There are few workers who truly have His [[love]] in their [[hearts]]. You need not be [[shy]] about exhibiting that [[love]] for your fellow man. There can only be a [[positive]] [[response]]. Certainly one must always be [[cautious]] not to give the wrong impression of [[friendliness]] that will be taken wrong by some people, but usually you will be safe if you are just [[natural]] with your delivery of His [[love]].

[[Act]] as though you have all His love possible stored up inside you and it just keeps overflowing. It need not be an [[act]] for long, for shortly it will become the [[real]] thing. [[God]] doesn't like pretend [[Christianity]], but for a while it will be [[acceptable]]. After time and much [[practice]]--genuine practice--you will find yourself [[relaxing]] and smiling, [[exhibiting]] that same [[love]] on a more [[natural]] basis. It won't take long. Many of you are well on your way. It is just a matter of [[time]].

[[Our Father]]'s [[love]] is very powerful and it carries with it the [[power]] to overcome any circumstance. You should be well advised to draw on that power when you need it. It is always with you and you need not [[feel]] like there is any end to the supply, for surely there isn't. [[Prepare]] yourselves each day by saying these [[words]], "I will love all [[God]]'s children today to the best of my [[ability]]". This should go a long way in getting your day started in the right direction. If you run into [[difficulty]], then just reinforce these words upon your mind. Make it [[listen]].

Perhaps in this way we can all [[achieve]] a closer [[relationship]] with each other. It will certainly go a long way to preserving [[peace]] on a world that has already been ravaged with [[havoc]]. You in your little [[group]] can just begin to undo some of that damage. It may seem [[monumental]] to you, but the task can only be accomplished one step at a time, one [[person]] at a time. Then and only then can [[our Father]]'s [[love]] be with everyone.

Continue your [[prayer]] time. Continue contacting each other during the week. It is only [[natural]] to want to be with those you [[love]]--you will see. It won't be long before this is all very [[natural]]. Rest [[assured]] all is well and we are on [[schedule]]. There is much [[work]] to do and we are here to help you as much as we are possibly able to so.

MELISSA: What order of [[being]] are you?

FUNDORE: (pause) I am a [[Midwayer]].

MELISSA: Thank you for taking the time to talk to me in [[Will]]'s [[absence]].

MELISSA: Thank you for taking the time to talk to me in Will's absence.

FUNDORE: You're [[welcome]]. I will bid you adieu. Goodnight.
