If the [[truth]] of my [[words]] did not create a result in your lives, you would not be here. What [[truth]] I give you freely, I wish you to give freely and be unafraid to give it, for how it is [[received]] is really beyond your [[control]]. Each person can only sow these [[seeds]] and wait upon the results. Many times you will be [[disappointed]] and even [[scorned]]. This is known and [[understood]]. Therefore, I send you with [[bravery]], [[courage]], [[wisdom]], and discretion. Be [[gentle]] yet firm as I am, be [[secure]] in your [[faith]] as I know you are, and above all be loving, and many [[hungry]] [[souls]] will come to you on their own.

I am reminded of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Good_Shepherd parable of the good shepherd]. When one of the flock is separated and goes astray, the [[shepherd]] looks for that sheep tirelessly until he finds him, and gently returns him to the fold. This is my [[mission]] to you, to seek out those who are lost and to bring them from [[darkness]] into [[light]], to give [[hope]], and [[peace]], and [[security]] in [[faith]]. I [[admonish]] you, be not [[discouraged]], for the fruits of your labor will multiply many times. [[Melchizedek]] [[desires]] that many people [[receive]] my teachings which are [[prepared]] together with him. This the beginning of the [[correcting time]].

I would like at this time to [[proceed]] with a short lesson this evening. This is somewhat [[improvised]] from the prepared. We have among us one who has walked this [[earth]], who has lived and [[suffered]] in life as you have, who has borne [[trials]] and ease, [[disappointments]] and [[pleasure]], [[songs]], [[tears]], [[laughter]], [[melody]], [[ugliness]], [[beauty]], [[despair]] and [[relief]]. He has [[personally]] sent [[Spirit of Truth|His spirit presence]] to be with each [[person]] for Him to have complete [[understanding]], and for each [[person]] to have complete [[comfort]] in that [[understanding]]. There is nothing you have [[suffered]], [[experienced]], borne, or [[forgiven]] which He has not done also with you. Although we [[worship]] [[our Father]], we must not [[forget]] to [[revere]] our Brother/Father, for He is understandingly close to each of us as a [[brother]], by your side in times of [[trouble]], in times of [[happiness]], in [[grief]] and in [[love]], His [[Spirit of Truth|spirit presence]] is always near. We should not [[forget]] to acknowledge in [[grateful]] [[humility]] this [[extreme]] [[gift]]. At this time, may we each offer Him a [[silent]] [[prayer]]. (After a long wait) [[Amen]].
