Changes

As you each [[mature]] in [[spirituality]] you are finding that you are not just you, but a part of all there ever was, is and will be. With this enlarged concept, [[self-mastery]] becomes a natural part of life as if it always was. Said [[Jesus]], "He who tries to save his life will surely lose it. He who willingly lays down his life for me shall be saved." Is that not a grand example of inner-knowingness? Yes. Is that not a [[beautiful]] display of trust in Father and a show of the [[supreme desire]] to do His will? Yes. As you view your life history what have you released, relinquished or if you have laid down your life in order to be saved, what have you lost; what have you gained?

As I view [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham my own life history] I find that every [[moment]], moments of [[joy]], [[despair]], [[fear]], sorrow, [[abandonment]], [[self-aggrandizement]] and [[power]], was indeed a worthwhile [[journey]]. Every moment, every minute was leading to ultimate good, leading me to where I am now and for that I am truly [[grateful]], [[humbled]], yes, and grateful. I have been on the [[Summit|mountain tops]] of self-glory and the [[valleys]] of self-loathing. I have felt the [[evil]] one's [[breath]] in my ear, and yet I have been cradled in the arms of [[our Master]]. I have cried [[tears]] of sorrow and tears of [[joy]]. I have been witness to Father's [[power]], [[mercy]], His [[participation]] and His simply standing-by.

I see now how it all led to the ultimate [[good]], ultimate good for myself, as well as the Father's overall plan. I can surely find [[gratitude]] knowing that I am in a state of [[becoming]]. I could not have known then in mortal state what I know now, because it required every [[moment]] to give me the knowingness that I have now. I certainly would have had a smoother [[transition]] however if I had realize then that all of my mortal experience was [[leading]] to an [[ultimate]] [[good]]. There was always something with [[meanings]] and [[values]] to gain, to incorporate into who I am now.
