The love of God surrounds you, the light of God strengthens you, His goodness inspires you. Wherever you are, he forever is. Greetings, I am LinEL, your teacher. I am delighted to send you this message for your meeting this evening. Thea has done too much this week and is ill. She must take better care of herself. But this form of message is suitable for this occasion.

===Lesson===
 
I want to talk to you tonight about courage. This is a quality that many people lack, true spiritual courage. It takes a great deal of wisdom and commitment to develop spiritual courage. It is a quality well esteemed here on this plane as it is there on yours. It can be more difficult to face the struggles with self than to face the outward battles of war, even though that seems impossible. There is much to conquer when dealing with fear, and this is what constitutes courage: the facing and dealing with fear.

Remember, using the courage derived from faith to overcome fears is one of the most exhilarating experiences you will ever have. This form of risk-taking has all the zest of driving a fast vehicle or scaling a dangerous peak, but it serves the Father's purposes, and not a mere animal interest. Those of you for whom this risk seems impossible, yes even you will learn to eagerly anticipate the thrill of each act of such courageous faith. Try it and see! Try loving and speaking forth what is in your heart, and watch the results. There will be trials and conflicts at first as you discover that indeed you are each individual, none has the same opinions. But soon you will learn to relish that fact and see that such a thing is an essential element in the great mosaic of the Supreme. It requires all of your different viewpoints, all of the viewpoints of all personalities, to form the Supreme Being. So work courageously to express your part, that you may advance the Supreme on his path. The practice of this courage will soon become as meat and drink to you, and when you find ways to harmoniously work together with all your diversity intact, you will laugh as you look back on what it was that you feared so at this time. Rejoice! The adventure is before you, and I assure you, you will not be disappointed in the end. So take your courage, drawing freely from the Father's love, and begin to act on this adventure. You have not truly begun until you begin to act. Do not fear, begin action now. Dare to love, to live the Father's will. It will be difficult to begin, but it is simple when you learn how.
