| − | ===='''''[[Loyalty]]'''''====
| |
| − | [[Loyalty]] is a [[sacred]], [[blessed]] [[virtue]]. Our [[personal]] loyalties are the highest [[expression]] of [[self]]-[[worth]]. In [[personal]] [[relationships]] our loyalties are [[paramount]] and precious gifts. The innermost [[soul]] is exhibiting its highest and most [[profound]] [[beliefs]]. Our first and foremost [[loyalty]] - [[duty]], is to our [[Heavenly Father]], who demands in [[love]], our first [[allegiance]]. [[God]] gives of himself in all [[creation]]. He has sent [[Thought Adjuster|His perfect Spirit]] to [[110:1 Indwelling the Mortal Mind|indwell the mortal mind]]. How [[loyal]] is this? How [[profoundly]] loyal to His [[creatures]] is He? How can we [[exhibit]] a lesser [[loyalty]] than full, personal, [[worshipful]], complete, wholehearted and [[consecrated]] loyalty? [[Our Father]]/God, is [[love]]. He is also the most [[consecrated]], [[divine]] and complete [[Parent]].

| |
| − | Who has a [[child]] that they are not completely [[loyal]] to? This [[word]] is inadequate for my complete [[expression]], but in [[necessity]] we use it. In [[human]] life [[loyalty]] can [[express]] a lower form of [[consecrated]] [[duty]] in you. This [[loyalty]] which I mean to express is [[supreme]]. For each person this loyalty - to follow ones own [[Thought Adjuster|inner spirit]], must be [[supreme]] over all else.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Blessed]] is he who walks in his own [[light]]. Yes, for the light which I ma y help you [[discover]] within is already there. I am but a helper - [[teacher]], to help you to [[discover]] your own inner [[loyalties]],' your own inner [[truths]],' however this may be [[expressed]]. This [[concept]]/[[reality]] has an ever increasing truth within each of you.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As a child, [[loyalties]] are learned in [[childhood]] [[relationships]] which have relatively [[simple]] [[meanings]]. As we [[grow]] through our [[mortal]] [[experience]], loyalty becomes related to our [[understanding]] of the fundamental concept, which involves the [[Fatherhood]] of the [[Universal Father]] and our [[relationship]] to one another as spiritual [[brothers and sisters]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Consider the [[idea]]/[[command]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_man Son of Man], in which He asks that you [[love]] your [[enemy]].' [[Recognize]] even in this [[adverse]] mortal [[experience]] that the enemy is still your [[brother]]. This requires a new level of [[understanding]] [[loyalty]].
| |

| − | ===Closing===
| |
| − | [[Ponder]] this lesson, asking yourself is this [[loyalty]]?'
