Lesson

Thought Adjuster: “Desire is the first step in knowing the will of the Father, and it is a fundamental step. It is a good start to every day when you intend to follow the Father’s will. However, circumstances do come about when you are fatigued, when you want to do something else, and when old habits may return. It is then that you need to be extra careful, extra attentive. However, such weaknesses are to be expected in a young creature, who has barely started on the path. Do not doubt that the Father knows and understands, and that Michael certainly knows and understands, since he has lived as one of you.

“I would like you to object less to situations that arise, and which fail to come up to your expectations. Haven’t you been informed of the fact that an adventurous spirit is essential? Live thus, doing your day by day duties, and discover the surprises that are placed on your path. There will be surprises, so don’t concern yourself with the anticipation of when, how, or wherefrom they will come to you. Count on your finding them when you need them most, and in a guaranteed fashion that will help you grow.

“Live always in the present, focused on what you are doing. This is the way to prevent excessive contemplation and theorizing that could well tend to degrade into fantasies that will not help you at all. Whatever you have to do today has been placed there by Me to serve a definite purpose. Remember that 'whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much'. However, how will those who fail at minor projects ever be trusted to succeed at the major tasks? Incidentally, nothing in God’s Kingdom is classified as a minor project to you. Everything the Father does is important, especially those things delegated to be your personal concern.

“When you find yourself in a situation you don’t want to be in, make an effort to find something about it that is enjoyable. The best way to do this is by dedicating yourself one hundred percent to what needs to be done at that moment. 'Each thing you have to do, do it with all your might'. This will greatly help you and will create a work ethic more authentic and inspiring than is the simple discipline of ‘performing one’s duty’. I speak here of learning to gain satisfaction from any situation, being a student who enjoys all the lessons that are provided, and every opportunity to learn, for these types of students advance fastest and enjoy the journey more.”
