Q: Serving you well, getting things accomplished and the goals you want, then exchange it for the mind of Jesus ([[48:6 Morontia World Seraphim—Transition Ministers|48:6.26]]) in that [[attitude]] of trying to, how would [[Jesus]] treat them, how would Jesus' [[mind]], what would he want, what would he [[think]] in this situation, that seems to be a helpful way of doing it. It's a helpful way also for my [[mind]] to look at it.

Q: There's a story called "[http://www.willoughbyontheweb.com/christmas/story_christmas_guest.htm The Christmas Visitor]" and I'm not sure if anyone has ever heard of the [[story]] before. In a [[dream]], the man is told that on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Eve Christmas Eve] [[Jesus]] is going to [[visit]] him; and he [[prepares]] his house and he waits and waits. There's three knocks on the door, and they're all [[different]] people and [[different]] circumstances and he treats them well and lets them come in and get [[warm]] or whatever. At the end of the night he asks [[Jesus]] "Why have you [[forsaken]] me? Why did you not come?" and [[Jesus]] said "I did. I [[visited]] you three times." To me it's a very, very [[poignant]] [[story]]. It [[reflects]] whatsoever you do for the least of my [[brothers]] you do for me. And I think that's really what we're talking about here.

A: It is [[exactly]] what we are [[talking]] about. It is [[literally]] true, my [[friends]], I will say it again. Whatever you do for your [[brothers and sisters]], it is noted and you will be made [[aware]] of it at a later date. You are always [[rewarded]] for those things that you do that help spread [[love]], [[joy]] and [[happiness]]. It is not easy to [[love]] someone that does not love you, but it is a [[task]] that you have at hand. For those will come to you in the [[future]] with open arms and minds, and there will be those that come to you with closed [[minds]] and closed arms and harsh [[words]]. [[Love]] your [[enemies]] as yourself. Did not [[the Master]] demand this of all of us?

[[Learn]] to [[accept]] your [[enemies]] as ones who are still [[children]] of [[the Father]] who simply have [[different]] ways of viewing [[reality]]. I wish to [[conclude]] this evening's meeting. I want to [[wish]] you all a good evening.
