Session

Lesson

Thought Adjuster: “Just as the Master sent his apostles to all corners of the earth, each one of you should do the same work for the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven. However, in this era, it is not necessary for workers to travel to distant lands; each one can do this work right where they are, in their families, in their communities, in their cities, and among their own people.

Do not be shy in your efforts to bring a little peace and hope to the lives of your fellow beings. Do not offer dead words or enslaving doctrines to the thirsty souls; rather, offer them words of life that will free their creative faculties and powers of decision. Do not subject them to the authority of tradition; instead, help them experience maximum freedom to create their own destiny. Human beings will only achieve their highest potential if they are allowed to explore and find God personally and on their own terms. Each life is a path, and the avenues that lead to the Father are infinite in their variety of experiences.

Live a life that is an eloquent illustration of the truths you profess. Let the love of God be reflected by the way you treat your brothers and sisters, so that they may at least have a clue as to how the Creator can love them unconditionally, just as they are. Do for your fellow beings everything that the Father would do for them, for only in this way will they be prepared to understand that the universe is governed by a loving and understanding Father, who is accessible and actively seeks out his lost and confused children.

By living such a life of loving service to your fellow beings and progressive revelation of the Father to those around you, you will enjoy the greatest reward of eternity – the progressive approach to God and the growing understanding of His glory. This is the most sincere and deepest longing of the human soul that can only be fulfilled in eternity, but which you can already begin to satisfy in your life experience. This is how you become more and more like your heavenly Father and make His will a reality in your life.”
