And as you are able to give your will to [[the Father]] the true [[desires]] on the richness of your [[potential]] are met. You will find increasing [[joy]], [[peace]], and [[love]]. You will know greater [[understanding]] and feel greater [[tolerance]]. You will begin to [[forgive]] and allow others to be who they are. It all happens very slowly, but as you are beginning to see, there is [[transformation]], there is the [[progression]] that is beginning to show forth in your [[life]]. The many, many years you will spend in traversing the [[pathway]] to [[the Father]] will bring you many [[experiences]] that will help to bring the Father's [[domain]] into greater [[understanding]]. What you now [[understand]] will continue to get more breadth and depth. That is a [[choice]] you make. As you seek to know [[the Father]], so shall the Father [[become]] known to you.

The times we have spent [[together]] are bringing forth fruit. And through the fruit that is ripening, more [[seeds]] will be dispersed. [[Fear]] not if you are not readily bringing more into the [[Urantia movement]]. This is not [[necessary]]. What is necessary is the [[love]] that you give to one another. What is [[necessary]] is the [[understanding]] you give to others about the [[mercy]] and [[love]] of the [[First Source and Center]]. It does not matter that [[truth]] can be found in many areas. What does matter is that when truth is [[revealed]], it is known within the [[person]] in their [[inner being]]. And so as you begin to [[understand]] the [[truth]], as it has [[meaning]] for you, then your life will [[reflect]] it. And this can produce much. This does bring you into the realm of being a [[harvester]] of [[souls]] for many. And so my [[friends]], continue your [[steadfastness]]. Rely on that inner [[leading]]. For those who [[choose]] to live in the Spirit, so shall they be [[guided]] and so shall life be directed in this regard. This is a [[revelation]] that must come to each and every [[individual]] on their own accord. If there is, in [[fact]], the [[concept]] of being `[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_again_(Christianity) born again]' it is this [[fact]]; that as a son and daughter of the [[First Source and Center]] you make those [[choices]] that will [[lead]] you in the ways of the Spirit. Once this has [[meaning]] for you, your life will [[change]]. You will follow a different drum beat than others.

This evening I will not [[discourse]] on a long lesson. The [[transmitter/receiver]] is very tired, is having much [[difficulty]] [[concentrating]]. There are too many other [[thoughts]] abounding in her head, much [[excitement]] of the coming week. I thank D3 for [[struggling]] so this evening to [[discipline]] herself to hear my [[words]]. Let it be known that even those of you who do not hear a [[teacher]] during [[quiet time]] are not to [[feel]] you are less. Instead, rely on that [[quiet time]] to firm and build that [[foundation]] of [[the Father]]'s [[relationship]] with yourself. It is most important that you strive to know the [[First Source and Center]], the [[Indwelling Spirit]]. If the [[time]] and circumstances are correct, than shall you hear from a [[teacher]]. Do not [[judge]] yourself in this regard, rather let yourself be [[bathed]] in the [[love]] of the [[First Source and Center]], that in your willingness to find [[the Father]] you will be serving the greatest [[purpose]] of your earthly life.

V1: "Daniel, I have a question. I can't help but think of the [[fact]] that I have come full circle in my [[theological]] [[belief]] and [[understanding]]. It has [[dawned]] on me this week again that I was back to that dreadful label, as some people called it, of being a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universalist universalist], of being able to [[believe]] that God [[accepts]] everyone where they are. Of course I [[read]] it in the [[Urantia Book]] again that a [[sincere]] [[heart]] is what God wants. So that's where I am right now and I guess I just wanted to ask you to comment on those things."

Now with your question, V1. I would say to you that with [[patience]] all things come to those who wait. For it is in the waiting that we grow [[strong]] and we grow [[wise]] and we grow ever closer to the path which Christ [[Michael]] has set before each of us. So with the [[events]] of one's life, take them as they come and deal with them as best you can. And let the [[faith]] and [[hope]] which are gifts of [[the Father]] guide you in all that you do. For you know that God is ever present in you [[life]]. And if we but open ourselves to that [[guidance]], good will come about. Does this answer your [[question]], V1?"

V1: "Well, Daniel, I was thinking of the position of myself many, many years ago when I was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universalist universalist] in that I believed that [[God]] loved everyone. And then, of course, strayed and got into some crazy [[dogma]]. And I'm back where I guess I began, in that I believe all [[God]] asks is a [[sincere]] [[heart]] to love Him and our [[brothers and sisters]]. I guess I was just asking you to comment on the renewed [[fact]] in my life."
