You are most familiar with faith in the heavenly Father as the foundation of religion. I ask you to expand your thoughts on faith beyond this sense. While it is not mandatory that you have faith in many things that you see in your world . .. it is not a prerequisite for anything . .. nonetheless, when you exhibit and show faith in your brothers and sisters and in your ability to make positive, spiritual changes in this world, when you show this faith and act upon it, you will be blessed, rewarded, and you are truly on the path of the Father's light.

You are most familiar with [[faith]] in the [[heavenly Father]] as the [[foundation]] of [[religion]]. I ask you to expand your [[thoughts]] on [[faith]] beyond this sense. While it is not mandatory that you have faith in many things that you see in your world . .. it is not a prerequisite for anything . .. nonetheless, when you exhibit and show [[faith]] in your brothers and sisters and in your ability to make positive, spiritual [[changes]] in this world, when you show this faith and act upon it, you will be [[blessed]], rewarded, and you are truly on the [[path]] of [[the Father]]'s [[light]].

We have talked about the uselessness of reciting the many problems of your world. This is a quagmire from which many cannot escape, somewhat exasperated by what they see each day in the media as they record the horrible, miserable circumstances all around you. It is difficult without engaging in the daily stillness to overcome your feelings of hopelessness, skepticism, and cynicism at the things around you.

But I will remind you that the Father has utmost faith in each of you, knowing the inherent goodness of each of his creations. This is a fact that you sometimes forget. Christ Michael always exhibited a great deal of faith in his brothers and sisters he met and administered to on this sphere. Would you not want to share this faith? Would you not want to develop this feeling of faith in your brothers and sisters?

There is this kernel of goodness inside each. As you move forward in your development, I think you each are beginning to perceive this goodness, this innate spark of the Father, and taking a more tolerant view of some of the wrong things that you see your brothers and sisters doing each day. Do you have faith that the Correcting Time will be successful? Do you have faith that your small group will grow in strength and purpose and be able to make a positive contribution? Do you have faith in all your brothers and sisters, that they will rediscover this goodness inside and begin to develop their spirituality?

I would [[encourage]] you to discard these [[feelings]] of [[skepticism]], [[doubt]], and [[cynicism]] and begin to show faith in yourselves. In this faith will come a [[strength]] of [[purpose]], a higher level of [[trust]] and [[love]] and [[joy]]. It is truly a building block upon which great things can be accomplished.
