Daniel: "Good afternoon, my friends. It is I, Daniel. As with each week I come to you ever ready to serve not only the Father but to aid in helping you, that you, too, may serve Him. It is my greatest wish for you all to come to the realization and the understanding of the Father and His love. This week you were asked to think about the Father's love, and how you can better manifest this love in your own lives.

It would appear that because we are a small group tonight, that many did not do their homework!(laughter) Joking, of course. I realize the reasons and know of your brothers and sisters' whereabouts. I will, however, not let you off the hook. As planned, it is important that you come into a knowledge about the Father. As you take the time to sit with Him, this knowledge about Him and His will is made known to you. And so I will now ask for your thoughts regarding the lesson of the Father's love. Is it different from that of the mere mortal? Is it the same? Is it easy to bring about this love into your daily life? Please be willing to share."

V1: "Daniel, I wanted to be first because I'm not sure that anything that I have is original as such. So I wanted to go ahead and say what I was thinking of and read. Throughout the week different thoughts came into my mind. Everything that is, would disappear without God's love. And that was such a..it's not new to me but it simply is amazing that we are upheld by a God of love. I can remember when I first read the Urantia Book and I am reading in that section, again this week. It is on the Thought Adjuster and this morning it actually said the Indwelling Thought Adjuster is the greatest expression of God's love. I know, for me personally, that was such a tremendous load off my back; that I had assumed, because I had been taught and believed that unless that I went out and told everyone, they were condemned. And it is just so wonderful to know that God's love is working in every human. And it is really up to them to respond to that love. It is just a very freeing, wonderful thing for me to know God's love is there; and He has not left it up to mortals."

B1's example this week of getting upset in public was, as he stated, an old habit. But when it flared up this time, was viewed in a much different light. You have taken the steps, my friend, to bring this trait under control, and can, if you continue to work, to completely alleviate it. Conscious effort at first, time and time again, will bring about the positive effect of internalizing and eventually at some point you will unconsciously be able to take a situation and not, as B1 would say, 'get mad' as he did. For you to take the first step in identifying a problem, in knowing it, and realizing when it occurs in your life, through conscious effort there can be change brought about. To develop positive attributes likewise will take a conscious effort.

And as you spend time with the Father, as you turn yourself over to following His will, you are dedicating yourself into a positive frame of mind. You are asking the Father every time you ask that His will be yours, you are asking Him to fortify and strengthen you with the gifts of the Spirit. Anything asked that will bring you closer to Him shall be granted! My peace and love to you all this evening. Good night." Group: "Good night, Daniel."
