Given this [[awareness]], our first task is to find common ground of [[experience]]. As a [[father]] bends down to make eye contact with his son, so should you, when ministering to a [[child of God]], find that level of [[mutual]] [[understanding]]. Usually you can do this by asking [[questions]] that draw out the person. All [[humans]] seek to bestow their [[truths]] upon another, and when this occurs is someone most [[vulnerable]]. Gently [[explain]] your understanding of their truth, adding some of your own [[truth]] [[experience]]. Not too little as to be undetected, not so much as to smother the original [[truth]] [[concept]] and make it unrecognizable, but just enough to enhance the [[flavor]] of their truth like salt moderately added to [[food]]. Too little salt adds no [[taste]], too much salt makes food unpalatable, but the right amount adds to the flavor and makes it easier to swallow or [[assimilate]], makes it more agreeable.

Truly great men have [[understood]] this lesson and have used this understanding to their [[advantage]]. Use it for [[the Master]]'s advantage. Use His [[understanding]] and make it yours. Use His [[gospel]] message to His advantage. Come to understand that you also are the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_and_Light salt of the earth], that you must be used to be fruitful. That through human [[association]] is the fruit made sweet and the robust [[exercise]] of [[faith]] becomes your [[reality]]. [[Listen]] inwardly at all times to the ever speaking [[voice]] within you who always shows you the better way, who always reveals ever increasing [[worth]], who always shines ever brighter through [[love]], who is your true and final [[destiny]].

He who created [[heaven]] and [[earth]] also lives within your very [[being]]. He who upholds all of [[creation]] uses the hand of a [[father]] toward His sons. Always and forever is his truth central to your [[being]] and [[becoming]]. Never is this [[reality]] destined to alter or [[change]]. No, forever is this thread a cable of unassailable [[truth]] and ever must you [[lead]] your brethren to take hold of this central [[reality]]. Millions of men live and die without the [[knowledge]], much less the [[experiential]] understanding, that [[God]] Himself lives within them. When His central [[truth]] is [[discovered]], then can men be led to the understanding that He is their [[the Father|Father]], the [[personal]], the deepest [[reality]].
