Changes

Elyon: Well that depends on the [[actions]] you take, both in [[community]] and as [[individuals]]. The happenings of [[the universe]] beyond your sight are understandably inviting to know. There are many [[opportunities]] for you daily, however. You are right that you cannot see all the [[progress]] that is being made on a global scale or even in your own life, nor do you understand the [[influence]] that you have.

The spiritual principle that says that the act is ours and the consequence is God's ([[48:7|48:7.13]]) suggests that in faith we can serve, we can [[share]] what it is that we know, but we are not to be overly concerned with the result. And yet, if you could stand back, much as your Jimmy Stewart portrayed ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Wonderful_Life It's a Wonderful Life]), and look upon the events of your life, you might see the people you've touched, but never knew you [[touched]]. And on the other side, due to the [[distortions]] of your world almost all [[citizens]] act out in negative ways at times that can influence others in their lives.

My [[sharing]] with you would be to have you recognize that you are an influencing factor in [[the universe]] and that your [[steps]] make a difference. I suggest that it is probable that you will see degrees of [[progress]], both on the [[community]] level and the [[individual]] level, because you have committed yourself to being of [[service]]; you want to do [[good]]. And, therefore, progress is [[assured]] as long as you have this [[motivation]].
