What makes merciful ministry a [[fruit of the spirit]] is your heartfelt need to do something for the one who [[suffers]], who has need. You who have your [[roots]] firmly implanted in the soil, who have life holding you up, who have your arms as branches reaching to the sky, to [[the Father]], you who are giving forth these fruits of the spirit, look not with [[disdain]] at those small shrubs who have not yet flowered. Do not trample on those small saplings, but [[glory]] in the life to come for these young ones.

In [[Paper 89|your studies]] earlier this evening, you were repulsed by your [[ancestors]] of long ago and their [[practices]]. As you familiarize yourself with [[the Master]] (and his times), you [[wonder]] at the [[audacity]] of those who would jeer at [[Jesus]] and how he could state with [[forgiveness]] that they were not [[aware]] of the harm they did. Your world, my flock, is comprised mostly of those who jeer. They do not know the [[glory]] of God. Those are the ones we are here to [[salvage]], to [[embrace]], and to introduce to living [[love]]. These "filthy savages" are indwelt by God! and their [[Indwelling Spirit]] yearns to adjust the [[thinking]] of the mortal it indwells so that it, too, may [[attain]] the stature of a dignified faith son/daughter. You who raise your hands high with your many fruits have cause to [[celebrate]], but look with [[merciful]] [[ministry]] on those who follow.

Dear ones, I [[embrace]] you this evening. I bask in your [[presence]]. Our [[interchange]] time is upon us. I am [[eager]] to hear from you.

Hunnah: Your words, for me, carry a [[prophetic]] quality. Am I right? Or is that just an impression?

Yes, as you grow, as we [[grow]], so it grows. It is alive, and as you take the ball and run with it, then we [[prepare]] and enable the next set of circumstances to come into [[being]]. If this were a dead [[theology]], a mental machination, it would not provide you with that stirring [[power]]. As you are called to act, the spirit lives in you and will then act around you. As you know, "The act is ours, the consequences God's" [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=48:7_Morontia_Mota] and so we will act in accordance with His will for the [[unfoldment]] of His plan.

I [[suspect]] that some of your sense is [[cumulative]], for we have rather concluded a long series of subjects and soon we party. Soon we celebrate an [[anniversary]] and begin yet a new "routine" of [[growth]]. I had asked you some time ago to give thought as to what you individually or you as a [[community]] might consider being able to do in the next time frame, and perhaps my [[words]] this evening regarding merciful ministry have struck a chord in your [[personality]] as what you feel you might do or what you feel the group would benefit in doing.

I am not in a [[position]] you see, to tell you what to do. I cannot say, "Hunnah, go out here and turn left and walk four blocks" and so forth, you see, for that is your destiny. That is your [[adventure]]. But I will say that I am glad that you felt a stirring for there is much work to be done. Hunnah: Thank you.
