WILL: The [[love]] of [[God]] [[surrounds]] us. The love of God upholds us. The love of God surrounds
us. Wherever we are, He is.
My [[friends]], as we gather here tonight it is important that we [[remember]] always that we are
gathered here in the [[name]] of [[the Father]] and of [[the Son]] and of [[the Spirit]] for those together
[[encompass]] the teachings for which we all work. Any [[Dissent|dissension]] within the [[group]] will be
monitored and [[encompassed]] on a [[spiritual]] level. We all work [[together]] and, in the long run, we all
have the same [[goal]]. It does not matter that each of us in our own [[individual]] ways have [[defined]]
what is right for them. What matters only is that in the end we find [[the Father]], for that is our
[[ultimate]] [[goal]].

the [[group]], the [[thoughts]] that distress you and I'm [[wondering]] if you really ask yourselves, "Do
these [[things]] really matter?" Surely the longer [[goal]] should be what should be your [[focus]]. If you,

===Closing===
I think, for tonight, that if we can just [[remember]] these things, that we would do a lot in our
daily lives. For our days were meant to be [[joyful]] and to be carefree and yet we are so burdened
down with so many [[things]].
