===='''''[[Courage]]'''''====

This is Ordon I will speak for Wednesday night's lesson. It will be on [[courage]]. Courage is looked at from different [[angles]]. It can be [[spiritual]] courage, [[mind]] courage, or [[physical]] courage. Physical courage is not called upon in this life as often as the other [[loyalties]]. Yes there are special occasions when you take your life in your own hands. You take courageous [[action]] in spite of what can happen. You [[act]] before you [[think]] to save another's life. We consider this very [[unselfish]].

Mind bravery is when decisions are made for the betterment of one's self and others.

Mind bravery is when decisions are made for the betterment of one's [[self]] and [[others]]. You have all made [[decisions]] as this. This is when you would possibly make the remarkable decision to treat your [[body]] as a [[tribute]] to [[God]]. You would rid yourself of all [[poisons]] as example: [[prejudice]], [[hatred]], [[jealousy]], and any [[physical]] poisons as well. When you make the [[decisions]] and carry them out this we would consider [[mind]] bravery. When you follow [[truth]] wherever it takes you.

When you follow truth wherever it takes you. Now for spiritual bravery. This is one step beyond. You live as in the presence of the Father when you love others as God loves them. This happens when you daily make your dedication to do the Father's will and you faithfully carry through. When you live uncompromisingly in the spiritual realities that you know you are supremely exhibiting spiritual courage.

This exhibition of courage blends into your daily work each and everyday. When living your life in this steadfast faithful manner you are starting to get the gist of spiritual living. Many of you know little of this way of life but you are growing in awareness of how to have the courage to start. It takes much practice and will probably continue all your life. You are making a good start. It is this dedication that Jesus showed to us when he lived his life in the flesh.

We teachers have dedicated our lives to live as he did so faithfully day in and day out. We are so in awe of Jesus; we love the master as our dear and glorious teacher who went about doing good for all that came into his path. Let us suggest to you that your silent time be most precious to you. That you take the time to be with the Father. It is above all else that we would have you do. The moments spent with the Father are the healing periods of life. It is so. The time will be when you are in perfect harmony with the Father's will. It will be when you make sure that this time is included in your life in loving communion.

This can be as you faithfully reserve ten minutes or five minutes when you aren't busy. You will take these breaks that refresh. These times to be attuned with the Father for your instructions in how to proceed. Take the times every day to seek out his words especially for you in the work that is for you to do. Let us have some refreshment now by resting with the Father's love. Approach him with thanksgiving for all that has been given to you each day. You receive so much care so much help. This is all from your Creator Son by God's supreme rule. You are given much more than you can realize now.
