− | I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am made glad by your willingness to [[participate]] in [[discussion]] this evening. I [[believe]] there are deep levels of comfort among you. It is [[inspiring]] to me to be [[witness]] to your complete [[honesty]]. I am [[happy]] that you feel [[safety]] and comfort among one another. I am also [[grateful]] that you [[trust]] me and Mary to be included in this branch of our family tree. I appreciate your [[thoughts]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Abraham-2010-02-08 last lesson] concerning [[self-esteem]]. There are many layers that go into learning about that and how we can find a balance. | + | I am ABRAHAM. Greetings.

| I [[understand]] the [[traditional]] season of [[Christ]]’s [[resurrection]] is approaching and there are many [[different]] [[beliefs]] we could adhere to or have already cemented into our [[thinking]] as we have grown from a [[child]]. It is common belief that Christ sacrificed His [[mortal]] life for mans [[sin]]s and therefore many traditional religious beliefs say that mortals should also partake in some sort of [[sacrifice]]. | | I [[understand]] the [[traditional]] season of [[Christ]]’s [[resurrection]] is approaching and there are many [[different]] [[beliefs]] we could adhere to or have already cemented into our [[thinking]] as we have grown from a [[child]].

As we look out among the [[Teaching Mission]], are we viewing [[spiritual]] [[maturity]] or the utilizing of spiritual senses? I can completely understand that the world circumstances can be overwhelming and yet, I can see some lost [[hope]] and half-heartedness. | | [[Topics]] that used to be against [[religious]] rules are now [[embraced]] by the [[masses]].

− | In this time of celebration, the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_189 Master’s resurrection], can we look at the [[power]] of His [[faith]], the [[change]] from [[child]] to [[man]], the change from man to [[spirit]]? He was not [[meek]] but wholehearted and driven. Can we contemplate the [[strength]] it takes to lay down one’s life, one’s [[desires]]? Is this weakness?
