Greetings to you all tonight. I listen to you as you come together tonight. Your humor is much appreciated for it lightens the day. It lightens your cares, and we all know this is needed as you go about your daily lives. On behalf of the Father, I welcome you. We come together to meet in our little group. We come together to concentrate on His words, to listen to His challenges and to focus on what He would have us do. The plan that we have all set about is in full motion and, within time, we shall all see that all is being carried out just exactly as it should be. You need not be concerned about anything, for all is as it should happen. I am here to help you. I am here to lend whatever assistance that I can and whatever help; I am available.

Greetings to you all tonight. I [[listen]] to you as you come [[together]] tonight. Your [[humor]] is much [[appreciated]] for it lightens the day. It lightens your [[cares]], and we all know this is needed as you go about your daily lives. On behalf of [[the Father]], I [[welcome]] you. We come together to meet in our little [[group]]. We come together to [[concentrate]] on His [[words]], to [[listen]] to His [[challenges]] and to [[focus]] on what He would have us do. The [[plan]] that we have all set about is in full [[motion]] and, within [[time]], we shall all see that all is being carried out just exactly as it should be. You need not be concerned about anything, for all is as it should happen. I am here to help you. I am here to lend whatever [[assistance]] that I can and whatever help; I am available.

Many of you are beginning to understand the full message of what we were all about and, for that, we are grateful. It is most essential that within our plan, we all learn to cooperate and work together for the greater good, for it is in doing so that we provide a way for the greatest connection between the Father and all of His children. By being available to lending help to all who come within your contact, you pass on help to those around you. Some of you have already begun to experience within your daily lives the opportunities that you have to show forth the Father's love, yet within those times, there are opportunities which are missed and I urge you to seek even further for those small opportunities. Be aware for even the slightest ways that you can show forth the Father's love. It does not take much and those you come into contact with will know that there is something special. I have given you this message before and I will continue to give it until it becomes such a natural part of your daily lives that you no longer have to think about it.

Express love daily to all about you. Walk with God on a daily basis and find an opportunity each day to live within the laws of our Father. Don't let any temptation pull you away from that which the Father has given you. Working within the realm of the Father requires many responsibilities. It requires the setting aside of the time for your meditation. It requires the treating of others with love. It requires the time spent reading and studying and in association with your fellows here. You have all been asked to call each other, to support each other and you are beginning to do that. We look with pleasure upon the times when you are in need and you call upon each other. A witness to the Father's love moving in your lives is the way each one of you is changing. You look at how you were even just a few months ago and compare you to the way you are today. Some of you have made grand strides in areas we never would have thought you would have made. You are to be applauded. In others, there is still more work to be done. You know more than anyone what that work is. I do not have to tell you. All that we ask is that you continue to strive, to continue to do your best. To continue to love the Father above all else in your lives. By loving the Father, that will naturally put everything else secondary and everything else will fall into place. By putting the Father in the primary place in your lives, all the other problems that you have had will find a way to work themselves out. You need not be concerned with anything. There may be things that you do not like the way they go, but you will be able to handle them just the same. There may be people that you do not like, but you will be able to get along with them better. There may be days when nothing seems to go right, but because of your new attitude and the help that you will receive from the Father, it will not seem to matter. This change of attitude will grow stronger as you attune more and more to the Father. For surely, it is His will after all that is more important, not ours, for your ultimate prayer should be, "It is my will that Thy will be done".

My will for you is that you live the life of [[peace]], one of [[joy]], one [[surrounded]] by [[the Father]]'s [[love]], one surrounded by the love of your [[friends]] and the [[communal]] spirit with the Father. He will show which direction to go. You need not be concerned about that. Some of you have many questions that we will put off until another time. For now, just continue [[focusing]] on the assignments that you have been given. Reread the [[literature]] that you already have. Read the [[Urantia Book]]. If you can, attend the [[study]] group and never, ever, forget your [[private]] time with [[the Father]] each day. That is of utmost importance, for in doing so, you keep open the [[channels]] between you and the Father and the more those [[channels]] are open, the easier it will become for you to know [[the will of the Father]] in your lives. It will be easier for you to find [[peace]], to free yourself of [[stress]] during the daytime. It is such a short time, but I urge you to spend that time each day. Some of you know what it is like to neglect that [[time]], so you know how important it is. Only the results from this [[connection]] with [[the Father]] can be known over time, but I can [[assure]] that the results will be well [[worth]] the time that you spend now. [[The Father]] awaits you. He is ever at hand to [[embrace]] you. All you have to do is reach out. For tonight I leave you, my [[peace]] I leave with you.
