Changes

With the world's [[awakening]], individuals are realizing their standard, set [[beliefs]] are not enough. They are ingrained with [[fear]], so many individuals will live their lives according to that belief. So many mortal deeds are done in [[secret]] as if they can hide from God, and then in full view out amongst their fellows they portray to live a [[righteous]] life. Many can only find small bits of [[life]] to share with Father, for they fear His input. Their [[beliefs]] in His true nature are skewed, and therefore they only allow Father limited [[space]] in their [[hearts]] and [[minds]].

As you may have gathered from my own [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham personal history], I have [[thought]] of God as many things. I worked to gain His [[favor]] so that I may become more powerful. I believed that if I lived my life a certain way I could be [[free]] from average mortal [[adversity]]. God would surely see to it His favored were to live a life of ease. For me at that time it was true, that was my God. With the teachings of my friend and [[mentor]], [[Machiventa]], I learned a great deal seeing how he lived his live and [[interacted]] with Father. God was not to be bargained with. He did not send down the rain on His unfavored children, nor did He give any [[individuals]] relief from required experience.

I learned that Father is my closest [[ally]], friend, co-worker and unconditionally loving [[Parent]]. He is [[kind]] beyond my [[ability]] to find words for. He seeks not to punish me for my [[erring]] ways, no, just to [[guide]] me toward better ways. He loves be beyond my own [[ability]] to love myself or even love Him in return. He seeks not to test me to promote [[soul growth]], no. He seeks to assist me in those test that [[experience]] naturally brings. He knows me better than I know myself and loves me regardless of my wrong deeds. Father does not view us as [[ignorant]] erring children, no. He sees us as [[intelligent]], striving children that are of Him.
