===Lesson===
 
+
No one ever said that life would be easy for you. In fact the challenges that are worth while are very difficult. There is a lot to overcome, a lot to go through in order to come to the other side stronger, revived and energized to carry on. As most things in life, challenges will always be there. They shall never cease, you shall learn to adapt and adjust to these challenges. All of this is to the glory of God. For He sees His children struggling and at the same time He sees you in all of your glory in some future time when you have gone through all your struggles through all of these years and have perfected yourself to become perfect as the Father. At the end of it all you will be grateful and thankful that you had such tremendous challenges in your life to shape and form you, to make you who you are. At this moment it is very hard for you to understand why you have to go through such difficulty and sometimes heart-breaking challenges. If you see all things as eternal, if you look around and realize that all of your brothers and sisters that surround you shall live forever, if you believe, then that should relieve your anxiety and frustrations and put your worries to rest.

I remember when I was mortal, even though I believed some things I still doubted in my mind, I still worried if it would come true. It was very difficult for me to believe what others told me to be true. It was not until I passed from the mortal state to the Morontia state that I realized that much of what I was raised to believe was true. Many of the anxieties that I had over life and death no longer mattered in the new reality of the Morontia Realm. My old thinking was washed away with my flesh and when I was born again and resurrected into this new and better life I was overjoyed with happiness. For I no longer feared the unknown, I no longer dreaded living another hour. I saw every day as an opportunity to grow, to live and to cherish every moment and I have from that day forward. I know that everyone of you has the same potential.

You are all children of God. You are all destined to one day join Him if you so choose. God exists in your life at this moment; God can bring you health, life and happiness. God will expand your mind with truth, beauty and goodness if you choose to connect. God can be real to you, it is your choice.

===Closing===
 
JarEl: TR, George. Thank you. This is for all of you as well. Every single challenge that you find yourself in at this moment will remain a struggle until you learn to adapt and to bring the Father in so that He may guide until ultimately His Will be done. Sometimes it requires your surrender. It requires His Will to be your will. Every time things will begin to go your way once you begin to do this. Do not fight when it is not necessary to fight. Do not struggle against when struggle is not needed. Allow the Father to fill up your life and your heart and allow His energy so that you may be the instrument of His Word and bring truth, beauty and goodness into this planet. That is all for tonight, good night.
