The love of the Father uplifts us. The strength of the Father upholds us. Wherever we gather, He is.

We have spoken before on the ways modern man, through various methods, attempts to understand his God. The ways chosen sometimes meet with success, but often times does not. There is little truth gained, there are no easy proofs that God exists. Man must fight against his basic intellectual method of assessment, in his attempts to know his God. There is always inner conflict involved and whether or not it is overcome determines how far the individual will reach in his journey for truth. The study of various religions, both of the past and present, give insight into the various ways man has chosen to portray his God. The variety of ideas are endless, for some, the possibility exists, there may not even -be- a God. Yet, most eventually ascertain that there must be a higher source, a creator at the very least. As they move forward, whether their progress be quick or slow, they will find that they cannot trust in the outside sources available so much as their -own- belief in their own heart. Most christians recognize this fact as well, with their belief that God does indeed reign on high and that to believe in him, to have faith in Him, is what is required.

As you discussed earlier, regarding the Teaching Mission, the opponents and the proponents, your conclusion was also that the truth may only be determined by the individual, one is not likely to be swayed by the printed material presented either way. Your highest understanding of the truth will not be compromised, if you trust in the Father and turn towards Him for your answer. We must ever strive forward towards God to remain in the truth and light. The path does not differ from those around you, although the individual experiences will obviously vary from individual to individual, as you go through your mortal life. Those who recognize others are on a forward path also, however slow and cumbersome, will see that the truth cannot be suppressed.

I do not expect that you will find yourselves in any form of faith crisis over the opposition to Teaching Mission groups, such as ours. There are those who allow their doubts to overcome them. Although some doubt is to be expected, we do not expect blind adherence to our teachings, nor do we ask this of you. They are not intended to replace information you have already been given. The encouragement and guidance we hope to provide, are merely to supplement the growth you are already experiencing. In the hopes of fostering and furthering that growth. Have no fear but that all will be perfect in the end. The Father's plan encompasses all. It is designed for variety among beliefs. Each individual is responsible for his or her own growth and relationship with the Father. No more can be asked than that.

We encourage you always to treat your fellow citizens well. This is asked that you may learn more about God's love. For your own growth, you will be asked to perform many more services in the future, but all have the ultimate impact upon you. It takes courage and faith to continue on your paths when you meet obstacles. The Father has given you the tools you need and we feel you are up to the task. The mission continues onward, it is still growing, many more will come into the fold. We wish no dissension with our brethren, however, only you can decide which course of action is best in your meetings with them. With tolerance as your yardstick, and love as your guide, we trust your actions will be worthy of your status as children of God. We have said before you can do no wrong, if you seek the highest path. This will always be true.

I ask that you go forth this week with a renewed interest in shedding love and light on your fellow man. That is certainly one thing your world can use more of, there will always be a need for more love on your planet.
