TARA: My mind was really in a whirl this morning, Malcom. Could you come and help me sort out all these issues? I know you understand. Sometimes I feel so isolated from those I love. I feel I really fall down in being able to express my love. How can I be of more help to my son? To Cheryl? To my friends so far away? There are also spiritual issues that need clarification. I truly feel I have found the ultimate “truth” revealed to us today in the Fifth Epochal Revelation. Help me to get these thoughts and issues into some kind of order. Thankyou.

TARA: My [[mind]] was really in a whirl this [[morning]], Malcom. Could you come and help me sort out all these issues? I know you [[understand]]. Sometimes I feel so [[isolated]] from those I [[love]]. I feel I really fall down in being able to [[express]] my love. How can I be of more help to my son? To Cheryl? To my friends so far away? There are also [[spiritual]] issues that need [[clarification]]. I truly feel I have found the [[ultimate]] “[[truth]]” revealed to us today in the [[Fifth Epochal Revelation]]. Help me to get these [[thoughts]] and issues into some kind of order. Thankyou.

MALCOM: Our little one, you are so near and dear to us in you loving attitude and quest for truth. Long have you searched and great is your desire to share.

As we have explained to you, all will be made very clear to all, in time. You need not fret. We have also told you of the value of expressing the ”fruits of the spirit” in your life, showing forth your confidence, trust and faith in this revelation from the Father.

As we have [[explained]] to you, all will be made very clear to all, in time. You need not fret. We have also told you of the [[value]] of [[expressing]] the ”[[fruits of the spirit]]” in your life, showing forth your [[confidence]], [[trust]] and [[faith]] in this [[revelation]] from [[the Father]].

As yet His revelation is not as wide spread or as well known as the ancient scripts. The Christian teachings have tried to keep alive many of the concepts of Christ Michael, as they have understood those concepts and how they were taught and passed down over generations. You can read the story from the higher view in your text. The very truth of God can be known today, the divine plan of God has been made known and clear. You have come to realize this in your own life, but have patience in respect to your brother. Remember it was not so long ago that your understanding was not as clear as it is now, and even today not as clear as it will be. My child, you are all growing in faith and in understanding. Is that not why you are called, “faithers?”

Your friend is seeking on her own path, what is needful for her at this time. Do not worry about her or be over much concerned. She also is in the loving care of the Father and is seeking. We all learn in different and diverse ways.

As regards to your son, realize he too is learning the lessons needful for him at this time. Lessons can be hard and very difficult to bear, as you realize from your own life, but all must persevere.

We are not at liberty to give specific lessons that is to tell anyone exactly what to do. We give lessons of right action, right attitude, right thoughts, concepts and truth. It is up to each individual to apply those lessons in their lives, as they see their application.

We are not at [[liberty]] to give specific lessons that is to tell anyone exactly what to do. We give lessons of right [[action]], right [[attitude]], right [[thoughts]], [[concepts]] and [[truth]]. It is up to each individual to apply those lessons in their lives, as they see their [[application]].

We enlarge upon the concepts of truth, beauty and goodness, and their levels of application. Do you understand? We would not for example tell someone not to take this or that job, marry this or that person, or that such a thing will happen tomorrow if one do this or that. Humankind has free will which must not be violated. That is the Father’s divine mandate. Of course we mourn and suffer with each of you, when we see your actions bring on sorrowful consequences, when it could have been avoid had you known, believed and obeyed the wise council of the Father.

But therein lies the [[difficulty]] under which [[your world]] suffers. The vast [[majority]] do not know the [[truth]], and those who do, don’t always [[understand]] it clearly or refuse to [[obey]] and apply it, as often it takes [[trust]], [[faith]] and [[confidence]] in the [[love]] of [[the Father]], that as a [[parent]], He guides us for our own [[good]]. So the lessons learned must often come by [[trial and error]].

It is within the [[power]] of each individual to [[change]] his [[destiny]]. He has the divine right to [[choose]]. The life anyone lives is a [[consequence]] of the effect of [[choices]] made one at a time day by day, moment by moment. These [[decisions]] and choices and [[actions]] all go back to thought concepts regarding [[self]], God and ones outer environment. Goes back to [[attitude]] and the [[experiences]] that shaped those attitudes. Our [[thoughts]] can be changed, if one is willing and wants to [[change]]; until then nothing can bring about change, or until the [[consequences]] become so great, the [[suffering]] so great, that the will to do something about it becomes strong enough to start a new [[direction]].

For you, little one, you must be [[patient]]. Maybe now is a time to begin our next lesson on the “[[fruits of the spirit]],” confiding [[trust]].

Confiding [[trust]] is essential to your [[spiritual growth]]. Not only must you trust [[the Father]], but also your brother and sister and yourself! And indeed, your [[celestial]] [[teachers]], now come to [[guide]] you in service of the Father and [[Christ Michael]].

For you, little one, you must be patient. Maybe now is a time to begin our next lesson on the “fruits of the spirit,” confiding trust.

Without [[trust]] you could have hardly begun this present [[journey]] of [[ascension]] and [[progression]].

Confiding trust is essential to your spiritual growth. Not only must you trust the Father, but also your brother and sister and yourself! And indeed, your celestial teachers, now come to guide you in service of the Father and Christ Michael.

:Trust leads directly to [[faith]] in the very teachings of [[Michael]] for all His children on [[Urantia]].

Without trust you could have hardly begun this present journey of ascension and progression.

:Trust leads to the [[realization]] of [[the Father]]’s [[love]] and Michael’s [[mercy]].

In trust you have accepted the truths of God and His love for you and His plan for you.

:Trust leads to [[service]] to your brothers and sisters.

  Trust leads directly to faith in the very teachings of Michael for all His children on Urantia.

:Indeed trust, confiding trust, is in complete [[harmony]] with all [[the fruits]] of the divine spirit.

  Trust leads to the realization of the Father’s love and Michael’s mercy.

:In trusting we find [[confidence]] in [[the Father]] and in [[the Son]] and in the [[Infinite Spirit]].

  Trust leads to service to your brothers and sisters.

:In trusting you will begin to trust in confiding in the [[Father fragment]] within you. You will draw closer to the Father in the [[stillness]].

    Indeed trust, confiding trust, is in complete harmony with all the fruits of the divine spirit.

:In trust you will find a new [[desire]] to be of loving [[service]] to your brothers and sisters, having [[confidence]] in the [[fact]] of their kinship with you, as children of the living God.

    In trusting we find confidence in the Father and in the Son and in the Infinite Spirit.

:In coming to trust and in confiding daily with [[the Father]], [[desiring]] to know and to [[do the will of the Father]], you will [[grow]] in the very “[[fruits of the spirit]],” everyone, even if you are [[unconscious]] of that growth.

    In trusting you will begin to trust in confiding in the Father fragment within you. You will draw closer to the Father in the stillness.

Have complete [[confidence]] in His [[love]] for you, for He loves you more than you can ever know. He has provided [[everything]] for you. In [[reality]] you trust Him with every [[breath]] of air you breathe, confident that the oxygen is there, your lungs are working efficiently, and your [[life]] will continue, moment by moment. Truly we do “move and live and have our being in Him.”

    In trust you will find a new desire to be of loving service to your brothers and sisters, having confidence in the fact of their kinship with you, as children of the living God.

If it were not for the constant and [[infinite]] [[love]] of [[the Father]], we would absolutely not exist, would not have this most precious gift of life and it’s [[potential]] [[destiny]] of eternal sonship.

    In coming to trust and in confiding daily with the Father, desiring to know and to do the will of the Father, you will grow in the very “fruits of the spirit,” everyone, even if you are unconscious of that growth.

Well we are off to a good start! In your [[perceived]] [[isolation]], Tara, do not [[lament]], for you are truly not [[alone]]. Have [[confidence]] and [[trust]] in your future [[destiny]] and present [[calling]]. You are only “shifting gears” so to speak. New [[responsibilities]], new [[friends]], new [[adventures]], a truly [[exciting]] time in your life, in your next decade and in the next millennium, is just ahead of you.

Have complete confidence in His love for you, for He loves you more than you can ever know. He has provided everything for you. In reality you trust Him with every breath of air you breathe, confident that the oxygen is there, your lungs are working efficiently, and your life will continue, moment by moment. Truly we do “move and live and have our being in Him.”

I bid you farewell this evening, Malcom.
