Again I would ask you to cast off the cares of the day. Rise above the family turmoil, employment politics and community concerns. Take a step higher into that peaceful arena within the mind that allows you to breathe easy. Relax your muscles, feel your heart rate begin to slow, breathe in that peace that only the Father of all fathers can grant you. Here in this place rest is acceptable, healing is allowed and Father whispers to you the wisdom of the ages.

Why are we here in the world at this time? What is our sole purpose? What is our earthly destiny leading to? I believe many mortals get caught up in the drama of living and tend to overlook the overall purpose of going beyond merely existing to really living. We are here because at some moment in time we were a thought in the mind of God. The act of love and thought created the actuality, which brought us into being. Father has worked with most of us our entire lives to get us to really know Him, to understand His role in our existence. He has always loved us; He will always love us and want for our highest good.

I cannot claim to know the Father’s overall plan and purpose, but I can say up to this point in my eternal career, I fully trust Father and have some realization of His endless possibilities; therefore I crave to do the will. I seek out the right and desire it with all of my being. I look back on my personal history and realize Father was always there—not coaxing me heavenward or pushing me to be someone I wasn’t, but lovingly guiding me toward Him. I can see that now. As a man on earth I was somewhat blinded to those facts. I put first what my eyes could see. My priority was to have good thoughts about who and what I was. The material world was distracting with all its promises of personal grandeur. I was then and am now grateful for guidance and slow but sure enlightenment.
