WILL: The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed. It rests upon the soil hoping to be germinated and bear fruit. At times we all must reach beyond ourselves and find that seed that is ready to bear fruit. It is an act of faith that brings that seed to full season and replenishes the supply for another season's growth. Over and over again the cycle is repeated until the cycle is completed and the plant withers and dies from old age.

Mankind is like that in that you all have a season to be born, to reap the harvest and a time to die. Within that time, there are many opportunities to furnish the life cycle with nourishing seeds of understanding and growth. We live such a short time as humans, that every opportunity is precious. If we lose a chance there will always be another, but why waste the ones we have? It is fully nourishing the spirit of the Father.

He provides all your spiritual needs and walks with you all the way, whatever your cares. You need not fear, for God is with you. You need not walk alone, for our Father walks with you. You need not ever want, for the Father is able to provide all things necessary for your spiritual life. You need not awaken to any temptation, for the Father will heal you. You will grow daily, those who place their faith in God, for He will provide the way to walk. His path is made clear to all who care to take it up. Only look to those around you to see how your faith can be expressed. See all God's children as just that, an expression of His love. It matters little your human conception, for truly in God's eyes they are blessed. We are our brothers' keepers. Our Father made us a family and created the family concept as the highest order upon which to found the kingdom.

Father, we thank thee for all your many blessings, for all those gathered here. For all those who have chosen to follow on this path. Give them strength, give them wisdom, offer them your peace in all that they do. There must be harmony in all things and to that end will we all work. While the rest of the world strains with it's problems, in here, at least, we will have our time together in total compatibility. We will come together in your name and for this purpose we ask your continued love and guidance.

We who strive to do your will understand how important total dedication is, for without it we have not truly cast our selves upon the path we choose to walk. Without it we have not totally dedicated ourselves to the doing of everything to further your kingdom on earth. As your children we need your love for the tough times we face. There are times of doubt, times of discouragement, time of assurance that we have your love no matter how we have behaved. We too often become caught up in our own lives and forget that you are there - that you are bigger than the petty things in our day.

Help us remember to turn to you every day when we need help. We need to know that we are not alone. How often we forget that you are nearer to us than we realize, ever ready to lend a helping hand. All we have to do is ask. Let us remember to turn to you first before any of our problems get bigger. We need your love. We need to know you are there. Please help us to remember that your love is forever in every way. Thank you Father. Amen.
