==Session==
===Opening===
Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am happy that you have come this evening. Tonight, let us discuss understanding, free will, and appreciating this gift. My friends, each human being is blessed with free will within limits. And, as your spirituality, your morontia soul, grows so does your freedom.
Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am happy that you have come this evening. Tonight, let us discuss understanding, free will, and appreciating this gift. My friends, each human being is blessed with free will within limits. And, as your spirituality, your morontia soul, grows so does your freedom.
===Lesson===
The immature human has freedom within a very limited sphere and with your growing maturity your freedom begins to enlarge. Then, as you advance in the universe during your morontia life, your freedom enlarges still more. It is a seeming paradox to the immature soul who may see the following of God’s will as a narrowing of freedom. Actually, the reverse is true. Opening up to God’s will enlarges your sphere of action and choice. And the more one concedes to doing the Father’s will, the more freedom one experiences. Great is the realm of choice given to one following the Father’s will.

===Dialogue===
Q: Am I correct in understanding that it is the Father’s will that we are free to choose. In some situations, is there a single option of choice that is the Father’s will and in other situations the Father’s will is that we choose from among several acceptable options? Are you also saying that the more we progress in our spiritual growth, the more we are allowed to choose from among different paths or options? Are these the time we are allowed to be creative?

Ham: Yes my son. You are doing very well. The way of the spirit continues to open and you continue to follow, little by little, day by day. Have complete peace in your heart for you are doing very well in all things. Continue to expand your love of others. Have peace as you move forward.

===Closing===
Are there any further questions at this time? Very well then, my friends, you do well. Have peace as you move forth, have courage as you test your wings, have trust in the Father completely and rest in complete assurance that your lives increasingly reflect the Father’s love.
