Lesson

I sense a power growing in this room, as your associations with each other deepen. You are becoming bonded in a deep and very meaningful way. You are learning tolerance among yourselves. You are being given the greater spiritual perspective, which comes from acting upon your faith, and praying that God's Will be shown in your lives. This is the way, my children. This is, indeed, the path we ask you to follow.

Gird yourselves against those hardships which may inevitably come upon you in life. There are those times when you must show strength in your faith, in your beliefs, in those things in which you cherish in your hearts. And then there are those times when you can, indeed, ungird yourself and rest, and partake of the satisfaction of your work. We ask both aspects of this to be within your natures. You are to find effortful moments when you are, indeed, working for God. And you are to allow yourself those moments when you are bathed in His Spirit, and nourished by the joy of your faith.

This is, indeed, the same counsel I offer to my Teachers, who work now with me in this Campaign. They know how to apply themselves in effortful work, and they also seek those moments of rehabilitation, and a sense of joyous satisfaction in the efforts they have made. You are no less vulnerable than they are, in this work now, my dear ones, and I would encourage you to remember this model.

If you find yourself at any point feeling a sense of frustration or trepidation, perhaps, about your role in association with us, then that is the point when I expect you, as one of my own, to take your rest. Allow yourself to be nourished, allow yourself to recover that more potent sense of peaceful, committed, and trusting application in your attitudes and your approach to this Mission.

You are to serve as a valiant soldier, yes. But even my soldiers need those moments of rest and rehabilitation. Therefore, I would encourage each of you to comfort each other, support each other, be there in those moments when one or the other of you feels a sense of dismay, depression, or in any way, a sense of exhaustion, from whatever efforts they have made. Be each other's support. Be each other's companion; each other's compatriot.

Remember to take the time to acknowledge the efforts made by your brothers and sisters. Let them know those things that you have seen them do, and have seen them accomplish, and let them know that you are proud of their efforts. It is not enough to know in their hearts that we Teachers care. They will also flourish from knowing that their mortal brothers and sisters are full of appreciation for the efforts that they have made in this work.

That then, is my admonition to all of you now. Apply yourselves in effortful work. Take rest and relaxation, and a sense of satisfaction, as needed. Show support, and a sense of companionship, to all those you come in contact with now, in this Mission. Do these three things with a sense of humble trust and faith in the Father's ability to take your best intentions, and use them well, and you will not only thrive in this work, my dear ones. The mission as a whole will continue to grow, and gather strength, and reach out and touch the hearts and minds of many, many more on this planet.

I wish any others, now, who feel the call, the desire, to please come forward, and work now with your Teachers, and offer our words to this gathering. My blessings to all in this room.
