[[Joy]] in the [[human]] [[heart]] is rare, indeed, at this most critical time on [[your planet]]. The constant [[struggles]] of life so often overcome the joy of [[the soul]].

These are not the peaceful times that [[your planet]] should have now been enjoying at this time in your [[evolutionary]] development. Daily you hear of [[wars]] and rumour of wars, but did not the Master say “Let not your heart be troubled?”

There is constant striving and [[pressures]] in all your individual lives, in your national and global lives. The nightly news is filled with yet further reports of more [[violence]] on your streets, in your [[homes]], in your global home. You hear of man-made violence and, indeed, violence of [[nature]], also contributed to by man. Where is peace and [[safety]] for you and your loved ones in these last days of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century twentieth century]? Your children are not safe in their [[schools]], on the streets or even in their [[homes]]! Indeed much [[correction]] and the teaching of new ways of living, relating and loving are needed in every aspect and every strata of your [[societies]] worldwide.

There is a great and mighty work to be done on earth in preparation of the times ahead for your beloved Urantia. We need your visual demonstration of the Father’s love to all his children. Only through you and your loving actions does the world see the Religion of Jesus in action upon the earth. Pause in your daily rush in life to see, actually see, and understand and love your brother. Pause to take time with him, to share with him, to listen to him and to interact with him. One at a time, moment by moment, gently lead him into the Father’s embrace that you so richly enjoy. Help him to understand the Fathers’ love for him. Demonstrate to him the growing “fruits of the spirit” in your own lives through your loving service to him, your confiding trust and confidence in the promises of the Father.

Indeed, you are all Children of the Gods, and are in preparation daily for your eternal life to be shared with them and with each other. Now, must you begin to live in peace and harmony and in love with one another. You must take the TIME now. Time is what the Father has given you so that your experiences can take place in an orderly sequence of understanding, learning, and growth. As we have said before perfection attainment does not occur in an instant but is a continual growing process which will take eons of time in your space time environment and is purposely created for you and for this purpose.

Now must you begin to put into practice what you have been learning, as you learn, reaching back helping others in their search and quest for the meaning of life, now and forever. In like manner have we come “leaning back” to assist and aid you in your spiritual growth and development. Always on your ascension path, will you see this teaching method in action. Do you not remember how even as little ones, brothers and sisters, you were reaching back to help the youngest one learn the ways established in the earthly family unit. Your parents were also reaching back helping you in your growth to maturity. The principle has always been and continues to be the same in all walks of life where there is human, morontial and spiritual interaction.

But alas, not all family units or socialized family units on such a backward planet, coming out of rebellion, have had such normal experiences with positive influences. Negative influence is also taught in the same manner, to your present continual sorrow and pain. But even that situation is provided for in the plan of the Fathers, should lessons not be learned in this life time, they will be learned on the transition worlds of time and space.

Therefore, let the ”Fruits of His Spirit” shine forth in your life as you exemplify Him to all you meet each day.

All things pass in time, renew and refresh and progress ever forward even when things appear to be confused and backward and distorted. Seeing the whole picture, the whole panorama of the plan of God is indeed difficult in one life time, in any one age, within the evolutionary progressions of time and space.
