Changes

Those who continue to [[contemplate]] the [[First Source and Center]], that choose to [[communicate]], know, and [[understand]] God are those who naturally are able to be more [[generous]] and open in the situations they choose to serve in. So again this lesson is to remind you that the valuable [[time]] spent with [[the Father]] prepares you in order that you can fully [[understand]] His will and fully serve in any [[manner]] that you are called upon to do.

Recall the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.22 story in the Old Testament] about [[Abraham]] and his belief that God wanted him to take the life of his son, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac Isaac]. Grieved though he was, he followed. Yet at the point of endangering this lad, Abraham heard [[the Father]] saying that this was not His [[desire]]. You see, the [[First Source and Center]] does not ask that you do those things which are harmful, destructive, or the like. Following [[the will of the Father]] is an open arena in which [[love]], [[hope]], [[faith]], [[beauty]], [[goodness]] and [[truth]] can be found. [[Doing the will of the Father]] will naturally put you in those situations where you can serve. Daily [[communication]] nurtures and [[strengthens]] you so that when you do serve, it can be through openness and willingness.

This week think about your [[actions]] when you are serving. Think about your [[motives]], the reasons why you are serving. This floor is open for questioning and/or [[dialogue]]."
