Changes

And this [[morning]] I had a wonderful [[visualization]]. And in it I had this visualization of God [[the Father]] throwing me up in the air like a human [[father]] might do with a young child, throwing me up in the air while I am screaming with [[fright]], kind of, and then catching that child. And it was the [[idea]] that the Father wants me to [[trust]] Him, that when it feels like I am up in the air, that underneath are the Everlasting Arms that will always catch me. [[The Father]] wants us to trust Him that He is always there for us. I had a marvelous week [[meditating]] on this [[assignment]]!"

B2: "Well, Daniel, I was a bad boy. I didn't do my [[assignment]] per se.(much [[laughter]] in the backround) I had a great week and as I look back I thought on a lot of [[different]] areas of [[God]]'s [[love]], reading [http://www.alancohen.com/ Alan Cohen's book], 'Dare to be yourself'. It is just [[magnificent]] how we are created, and who we really are, and how we [[gradually]], each in our own way, [[awaken]] to that and help each other. I am just amazed by how the whole [[universe]] works, the more I get the [[picture]]. It is just marvelous. I had another [[experience]] with two [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism Mormon] women that came by this week. And I really [[enjoyed]] talking with them. It was clear that they were [[sincere]] [[seekers]] and they left me my space. It was incredible. We just had a great talk about [[love]], about God and how He reaches to each of us! I don't know. It just seems like it is [[amazing]] how love just comes through [[everything]] when you allow yourself to be open, like B1 said, you can kind of look back and see what He has done in your life and see the little [[effects]] that were definitely promptings or [[motivations]] or whatever. That's all I have."

S2: "Well besides, Daniel, the things that were mentioned on [[love]], one example I feel that is here, is the [[Life Carriers]] that are around for us and we can use, to help others to make their [[pains]] or whatever feel better. I feel that is an example of His [[love]] right there, and I greatly [[appreciate]] the [[opportunity]] to pass that on to other people who need it."

All of you have over the last year been willing to open yourselves up, to [[accept]] that there can be [[changes]] in your life, that there is not stagnation, but further [[growth]]. And through your [[struggles]] in [[faith]] and [[doubt]], in your struggles in coming to terms with the [[Teaching Mission]], have you grown immensely! You have taken those steps [[necessary]] to open yourselves to [[the Father]] and His love. Once you have opened yourself to this, will you ever be ready and able to serve Him and your fellow [[brothers and sisters]].

[[The Father]] is, if you will look upon Him in this [[analogy]], like the most perfect brilliant [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond diamond]! His Being not only [[reflects]] [[light]] off of all of its many [[facets]] and [[angles]], but His [[Being]] within this diamond is so [[magnificent]] that it [[illuminates]] all. You, my [[friends]], are like the little rough rocks that can, over time, be chipped and chipped and polished to become a diamond. A diamond in the rough, you are; but know that this chipping away of each little piece is part of the [[experience]] of becoming a diamond. As little rough stones, the [[beauty]] and [[potential]] of what you are is not readily apparent. As diamonds are formed and created within the [[pressure]] of the [[earth]], know that you have been formed and created within the [[goodness]] and [[love]] of [[the Father]]. And all that He has, and is, and knows in His [[universe]] is within each and everyone one of you, the rough stone! You, who have the [[Indwelling Spirit]] within you, will at some time be a diamond that also emits [[light]] and [[love]]. Each time you are able to have a rough part of your stone chipped away, the [[experience]] you glean from this brings you closer and closer to a more [[perfected]] [[state]]. Each time you are able to polish those aspects of yourself do you become more like [[the Father]]. Many leave this [[plane]] as a rough rock, with [[potential]], but not yet in a state of [[change]]. Those who seek [[the Father]], those who travel the [[path]] to Him in this life have already been able to mold and shape their little diamond. Many lose the outer trappings and the polished area is beginning to show. [[Light]] can [[reflect]] from you, light can emit from you as you become more aware of [[the Father]]'s [[love]], as you are willing to give the Father's love to your [[brothers and sisters]], as you are willing to serve your brother and sisters, as you are [[tolerant]], as you are [[forgiving]], as you do those things which lead you closer to [[the Father]] and His will. Those of you who take the time daily to sit with the Father know His will. It is made known to you!

Those of you who take the time daily to sit with the Father know His will. It is made known to you!

As our friend T5 has spoken today, and I [[welcome]] you, my [[friend]], as you have spoken today that somehow you knew and wanted to follow [[the Father]]'s will, and in what may seem [[coincidence]], you are led to know His will. All of you daily have these [[experiences]] when you open yourself up to them. His will will be made known and through His will known to you, will there be [[love]] given, will love be [[manifested]] in the outer world. Some day, my friends, you and I will sit together with [[the Father]]. He will be the main diamond in the ring. We will be the [[individual]] diamonds around. Can you see this [[glorious]] setting? It will be! You are fortunate for you are the ones who can make your own [[potential]] come true. You, who [[desire]] to know and love [[the Father]], will, at some point, be the shining diamond which you are decreed to be. To know the Father's [[love]] is to know the [[gifts of the Spirit]] and yet this is but a part of it. This is the aspect that you know in this life. Indeed, without the Father's love [[the universes]] and all that they entail would not be here.
