I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am most glad to share in your discussion this evening. It is said where two or more are gathered, there in the midst is our Spirit of Truth. It is literally true. In your discussion, the spirit does help to bring the truth to the forefront of your minds. I am honored to be a part of you and the whole Kingdom family. You are to one another an anchor in the sea of everything. Your willingness to engage in honesty with one another is soul building and indeed felt by the Supreme.

===Lesson===
 
The business of faith is not always easy. You have your mortal lives as a practice field. I can say as you mature in spirit, faith will not be such a struggle. Each week I study lesson topics. I have prayer and meditation so that I can be spirit led. I discuss ideas with my peers. I believe I make quite an effort to give the weekly lesson. It is funny that in all my efforts, things change and I must adapt. I am indeed happy to do so. I am happy I do not have to rely upon my own knowledge. I am part of a massive network that aids in my efforts to be spirit-led. Many times I am somewhat disappointed that my plans are thwarted, but always is there a better plan in the works. It does take effort on my part to let go of my desires, my expectations, to play a part in the good of the whole.

While the events on Urantia had not the outcome the Master had hoped for, He still vowed to drink the cup, no matter how bitter it was and definitely did this take some reconciliation for His mortal mind, and the lessons the Master had allowed to play out are certainly priceless and affecting many even beyond your world. Once you have a good foothold in the rock of faith, then is it easier to climb the mountain of self-mastery. It does become natural instinct to follow the will of Father as close as you possibly can. Father every day directs us and it is our choice to follow.

===Closing===
 
This week let us make effort to not be caught up in desire or wanting. Let us focus on Father giving us His guidance. Father does speak to you every day in many ways. If you are caught up in the ‘want’ it is difficult to not be self-serving. Know that it is my deepest desire to spend these few moments with you and I consider myself indeed blessed. That is all. I am growing in affection for you. Go in peace. Until next week, shalom.
