You recall the statement by Jesus, that of taking the plank out of your own eye before you take the splinter from another's, and his [[context]] was in regard to judgment and finding fault. Today I would like to use that same phrase in a different application, that is, with regard to [[faith]]. Often is one's soul inspired by the faith and spiritual status of another, and this is good, for the example of another living their faith does inspire one to reach to those same heights of being. If one however gives great esteem to the faith of another, it can be a blockage to the recognition of the faith you have yourself. The large plank-like faith of another appears to diminish your splinter-like faith.

It is in your further refinements and applications of trust, hope, and belief that you discover that larger arena of faith. Faith, like love, is a category above. As you live your life it will be easier to address directly your hope and trust and belief, and thereby will be revealed the degree of your faith. To look for a sign of your faith is to look at these underlying supports. Just as you know that love is greater than only an [[affection]], you discover that love in the experience of goodness, the appreciation of beauty and discovery of truth.

We teachers are pledged to advance this planet, but we are also devoted to your own personal advancement, for that is the will of God. Father resides within you, and that [[divine]] force has one primary purpose: your [[ascension]]. We will work to make [[Urantia]]v a better spawning ground for the new souls in the Supreme realm. While we do that we will make sure that we assist you as you make ready to make the grand adventure across time and space. The more certain you become in your awareness that you are truly a son or daughter of God, the more likely your advancement will proceed efficiently, the less time will be spent in quandary trying to verify or re-verify who you are in the universe.

This is the primary, meaning first, faith accomplishment. After you have thoroughly accepted that you are a son or daughter of God, your first threshold has been crossed and your journey moves positively forward past the stage of establishment and into the stage of advancement. I have much I could say but I know there is much you are already familiar with, as you have lived in faith for many years. There are friends of mine in attendance who would also like to make contact.

But I can tell you that this matter of your faith and the extension thereof is certainly one of those keys that are continually overlooked in your journey of discovery. I would conclude my remarks there and allow for either comments or questions or other personalities' expression. Thank you.

Thank you for coming of your own choice to be in this forum to seek me and to find me.

Let us savor this seeking and this finding. Let us cherish this [[experience]] of discovery together. It shall be so. I leave you now with this peace and this love I bring to you this hour. Drink it in, it is yours. Farewell.

Nebadonia (Jonathan): I am Spirit Mother [[Nebadonia]], and I too am with you along with our [[Michael]], my Michael. I promise you that as you do follow him I am as the wave upon which you are pushed forward; I am as the tailwind that fills your sail and takes you forward to him. We stand pledged ever to lift you up and give you over to Father on high. Let that peace Michael speaks of sink deep within you and there meet the love that we also give. To feel it enter in and to feel it welling up from within, know that we are around you, within you, in every way and all means. Translate that peace into joy; let it exude from you. You are our special children, and we are very joyful to be with you in this family.
