I am ABRAHAM. Welcome to you each here this evening. It is once again my supreme pleasure to meet with you. I assisted you during the week on this particular lesson, and I have noted there were many surprises to behold. In learning to give yourself completely to Father there are always unexpected circumstances that don't appear to fit in with your spiritual education. This is part of Father's intriguing, mysterious, personality. In Father's attempts to be close to you, you are at times almost overlooking Him. My question to you this evening would be: Were you living out your personal Mission Statement for earthly living this week, or would you say you were living out Father's definition of a Mission Statement for earthly living? Perhaps a combination, perhaps there was a bit of a struggle and some stumbling? This is to be expected in learning to be submissive to Father's will while gathering reserves for spiritual strength and energy to carry on.

It was said by the Master, "He who would save his life selfishly would indeed loose it, and he who would give his life for my sake will surely save it." This is the core of our lesson on submission to Father and His universal meanings. I ask you what have you without Father? What have you to gain by subtracting your spiritual understanding from earthly living? What is missed by a life not lived in recognition of spiritual attainment? Do you see that our phrase, "he who gives his life for my sake shall surely save his life," means the child who is willing to forsake selfish designs, and look to Father for understanding of spiritual meanings, will have everything to gain by Father's broad overview?
I [[assisted]] you during the week on this particular lesson, and I have noted there were many [[surprises]] to behold. In learning to give yourself completely to Father, there are always unexpected circumstances that don't appear to fit in with your [[spiritual]] [[education]]. This is part of Father's [[intriguing]], [[mysterious]], [[personality]]. In Father's attempts to be close to you, you are at times almost overlooking Him. My [[question]] to you this evening would be: Were you living out your personal [[mission]] statement for earthly living this week, or would you say you were living out Father's [[definition]] of a Mission Statement for earthly living? Perhaps a combination, perhaps there was a bit of a [[struggle]] and some stumbling? This is to be [[expected]] in learning to be [[submissive]] to Father's will while gathering reserves for [[spiritual]] [[strength]] and [[energy]] to carry on.
It was said by [[the Master]], "He who would save his life [[selfishly]] would indeed loose it, and he who would give his life for my sake will surely save it." This is the core of our lesson on [[submission]] to Father and His [[universal]] [[meanings]]. I ask you what have you without Father? What have you to gain by subtracting your spiritual [[understanding]] from earthly living? What is missed by a life not lived in [[recognition]] of [[spiritual]] [[attainment]]? Do you see that our phrase, "he who gives his life for my sake shall surely save his life," means the child who is willing to forsake selfish designs, and look to Father for understanding of spiritual meanings, will have everything to gain by Father's broad overview?
Do you see that your willingness to trust and commune with Father in His presence perfection is to gain entrance to the door of the cosmic mind and comprehension of all things? Your willingness to step aside gains you passage into Father's understanding. Your commitment to set aside personal desires for certain outcomes opens you to Father's level of cosmic understanding of universal meanings. Do you see how in the letting go there is everything to be gained? In this lesson on submission we find it is certainly wise to re-commit daily to the doing of Father's will and draw upon our spiritual strength to be prepared for Michael's hard truths. In the exercising of spiritual muscles we find there can be some injury, some pain, but it is in the pain that we are made stronger. Do you see now how almost everything has value concerning our spiritual education?
