I would not have you think that we would reject your offer of service. It is not your denial, but simply your misunderstanding, your imperfect [[knowledge]] of our ways, our [[design]]s, our efforts on your behalf, not only yours, but your fellows likewise. You have heard the [[sound]] of our [[voice]]s bringing good news from [[heaven]], the news of our reunion, the renewal of our [[family]] relations, and such an extended family you have. What you have lost in this world you have gained on high. All that you have suffered is used on high; all that you are is engaged in this service to [[our Father]] and the evolving [[Supreme]].

What say you now, knowing as you do our nearness, our [[love]], the [[affection]] with which we surround you, enfold you, and hold you fast in our arms? Do you cry, do you weep because you no longer feel us, sense us, or is it because having opened your [[heart]], you fear its [[love]] will be taken, torn from you as it has before? You and many here whose hearts have been scarred by the denial of your [[hope]], by the loss of your love, we would restore, remake, rebuild, reform; this is the work of correction which we undertake in this [[moment]]. Search your heart and see, find that [[truth]] that we have poured upon you and know that it has never ceased though you have felt its removal, you have experienced its dryness; the fiber of [[our Father]]’s [[presence]], that leavening influence has been with you all along. What you have held to in part, even if with the suffering scorn of cynical regard, we would restore to the simple joy of its [[origin]], its [[nature]], and invite you into the [[realization]] of its [[destiny]].

My child, I look upon you with great [[affection]], I would not leave you. I am here to assist you and your fellows, your friends amongst you to tap the source of treasure, of truth within you. I am not your Father, I am like you, his child, but I know you, I have lived the life of a mortal, I have seen his glory, I behold [[Thought Adjuster|your spirit]], and I would have you joined forever. Let us proceed in this journey together, let us labor in this garden of our Father’s many interests together. Hold fast to the truth of Michael’s love whose affection I would nourish; he stands with us. His [[Spirit of Truth]] works within you leading you [[home]] where I am, where many are, where you live, this place of [[communion]], connection.

Tomas, as you know, I have suffered experience of many denials. I have felt by means I do not understand the pain of these times in which I have turned away, burying myself in a cold and cruel place. My spirit speaks within me as if to tell me, it is his gift of experience to me. I feel nonetheless, it is my own, I don’t understand.
