JarEl: I am most pleased to be amongst you this day; to share your many thoughts and concerns about your growth, and your purpose in this Mission. Our message for you today concerns challenges. The word challenge depicts a contest, an event, forces equal competing with one another. In our spiritual lives we are faced with challenges, forces equal in the beginning, but because of the competition and the challenge the growth is different. As in the challenge of a race one will cross the finish line ahead of another, but all will finish. The amount of practice and work that the winner had over the others determines his strength and ability to win. The amount of work that you have in your individual lives will determine the amount of growth that you have spiritually.

The vicissitudes of your existence are your challenges. One can practice for an event and be focused on that event, but until one has the measure of competition the full development of potential to succeed in that event does not take place. One can run by himself and increase speed and agility. But not until another runs with him and offers the challenges of competition does he realize the full potential of his development.

As we are here to assist you so must you be available to one another for support and encouragement and enlightenment. This is our message for today: challenges. I will entertain any questions you may have at this time that will shed more light upon this discussion. Please proceed.

Stella: First of all thank you JarEl for being here. I'm honored. As I listen to these young people, I've gone through everything they have gone--all the problems and trials, and so forth. And I am reasonably happy, well set and all..so forth, but I do have--I have been wondering what do I do the rest of my life. I am in my 70's. I have always had a goal; always a challenge. But for some reason, I'm kind of almost at loose ends. Maybe you could guide me a little bit.

JarEl: Reach out and join hands. This is great. As we leave you this day in this wonderful experience, we ask that you continue to meet the challenges to your growth in this life. We ask that you step boldly into faith and belief. And let th ese words resound in your being. You are loved, and this love that you have you must give to others. Seek your growth through the lessons in the transcripts, and the teaching of the Urantia Book. Seek your growth by embracing one another in fellowship and love. Meet the challenge that we have offered. Let it spark you and pace you as you run this race of development. Smile; be happy; be joyous as you experience this love. Farewell. My peace I leave with you all.
