To lead the life of spirit, one must accept the challenges of the spirit. It is difficult to run from yourselves and your own potential while seeking the Father’s spirit for the two are one. The Father’s spirit is found within you, and as you find him, you also find yourselves. As there is joy in discovering God, there is also joy in discovering your own Godlikeness. The Father expresses himself through you. As you find and uncover better and better parts within yourself, you are also revealing to others the results of your partnership with God. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2003-02-16-Life_of_the_Spirit Ham]

==The Father==
 +
The Father is truth, beauty, and goodness but he is more, he is all those things unified in personality. When you experience the Father, you experience perfect personality and that perfect personality, by his presence, transforms and heals areas of your own personality and creates unification of your own goodness, truth, and beauty.
 +
 +
Each one of you is in process of unification. As your potentials become actual, these things must be unified in the personality and by contact of your finite personality with the infinite personality, unification is assured. The Father is infinite and eternal, and he has planted these potentials within your soul. As these potentials actualize, they must balance and unify with all the other actuals of your personality.
 +
 +
The Father exists in the infinite past and the infinite future. He exists in the now of every moment, past present and future. The finite mind perceives beginnings and endings; The infinite mind perceives no beginning and no ending. As your minds expand to include his person, he becomes your perception of the infinite past and the infinite future in the now time.
 +
 +
Gradually, it is beginning to dawn in your consciousness that you are a tiny part of that which is everything, but you are not a passive part. You have the capacity to have a contribution, an addition, a piece of the great puzzle of all eternity and infinity is you yourself; not what you do, but who you are gives this contribution. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2003-02-23-Contact_With_Father%27s_Personality#Personality.2C_Unity Ham]

==Sacrifice==
 +
Now, many times human beings desire to sacrifice for God, to give God something that they value, and this has led to all manner of strange even repugnant religious practices. But the intention is to give full credit. What does God desire from you? Only that you are willing to walk with him, to share your life with him, and to hold nothing back. When you pray that the Father's will be done, you are praying for the utmost good, the highest truth, that the most noble and exalted beauty should prevail. When you say, as the Master did at the end of every prayer, "nevertheless, your will be done", meaning no matter what your personal desires may be, you are giving that up for the Father's greater will to be done. This is the mark of true God-knowing. For those who know God trust him, and when you trust God that much, you desire what he desires. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2003-02-23-Contact_With_Father%27s_Personality#Sacrifice Ham]
