Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I welcome each of you here this evening. Let us discuss the meaning of wealth. The Father has poured out his wealth upon his children and this treasure cannot be stolen, cannot be diminished by the hands of men. Our Father has created all things, the sunshine and the rain, the growth from the soil, the beauty of his sunsets, the joy of appreciation. All these things are his gifts to you.

 

 

Topic: Accepting The Father’s Treasure

 

March 09, 2003

Have no fear in accepting his gifts of plenty, his gifts of joy, and comfort. Most often, the fears human harbor in life products of imagination -- fear of loss, fear of want -- and these fears are a great engine driving civilization forward, but those who are secure in the Father's over care understand how to focus on the plenty that is in the now time rather than the fear of some future situation. The now is complete, the now is fulfilling all your needs at this moment. Humans are so conditioned toward planning the future that the actual state of existing in plenty in the now is forgotten.

Jesus was so well balanced because his focus was now. He was not overly preoccupied with what the future may or may not bring. He dealt with life as it came to him. He was not a person who made judgements about different times of his life the way human beings are want to do. He never lamented his childhood poverty, or his struggle to provide for his earthly family without the care of his earthly father. He took all of it as it came and never dwelt in fear about what might be. He made reasonable plans for the future, but he was not crushed when those plans were thwarted. Through all the difficulties of his life, he made the best of what was right now and found all that he needed in the now. His apostles were mightily drawn to his coolness under pressure. They had many worries and fears concerning their futures. But the Master seemed to be continually content, even cheerful and happy, throughout the many ups and downs of their earthly experience together. He could do so because he completely trusted the Father now.

The questions this evening must be postponed, but as always my love and my prayers are with you, my understanding extends to all. Have no concerns about your progress, for you all do well. Farewell.
