WOODS CROSS GROUP

 

I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. This group is truly a refreshment from the spiritual well. Can you see that you come to gather together with a clean heart and you are indeed spirit led? Out there it maybe a dog-eat-dog world and you react to that atmosphere, but in here, in this group of re-centering, safety, truth and love, there is freedom and that brings forth the best in each one of you. You each serve and are served. You discuss the realities of everyday living and your positive spin revives you for the week ahead.

 

Practically every week you cover many topics of life that everyone must deal with. You have come to see that mortal life is about discoveries and doing your best to be spirit led-not about enduring trials and becoming a victim of what is supposed to be. I am touched and truly feel you know not the depth of your ministry. Your tenacity to live as the Master would have you live shows those that know you that life is balanced. Sometimes things look bleak, but we never lose faith. We never quit trying and Father's works in our life is a worthwhile reward.

 

We meet people every day who seem to have allowed the bitterness of everyday occurrences to rule their lives. You can see their resentment in their actions, their attitudes and in their expressions. One can claim to have knowledge of God the Father, and yet they do not really know Him. If these embittered individuals knew Father is love, forgiveness, mercy, kindness, joy and saving grace, they would certainly have no cause to be bitter or resentful.

 

As a mortal I can think of many times I saw Father as a punishing authority. I thought I was sinful when ordinary unfortunate life happenings would occur, and therefore Father removed blessings from my life. When I had my way with life, when good fortune smiled upon me, I figured I was a righteous son worthy of God's blessings. You can easily see my imbalance, and even then I lived and acted out my attitude, my intentions, my understanding.

 

As a mortal I always sought favor with God and would believe I could be self-sacrificing in a way that was in all reality manipulating Father into having His blessings upon me. As I look back I can find humor in that now, but then it was so very real. I made it real. How fortunate and blessed was I that I could be accompanied by a most wonderful mentor. I was lost and indeed Father found me. Certainly a series of humbling episodes had to capture my attention, but was I ever so grateful that He reached me as best as I could understand in that day.

 

I have value from that time in my eternal career that has brought me to this point and I am grateful. I am grateful for the hardships, for the lessons, for the skills that were taught to me. Then I was somewhat resentful at the bad fortune, hard lessons, and the humbling experiences. I took them much too personally. Then I had found little joy in my faith, as well as my overall mortal life. I did not see the blessings in my growth until I was ready, until I had received experience. Blessed is the mortal who is resilient, who keeps fighting the good fight of faith, who falls, but stays not down, continues on to love and follow the will of God.

 

This week review you spiritual life. What has it taught you? What skills have become everyday useful tools? Think about your ministry-forced ministry as opposed to a natural flow. I love you. I am filled with a new light each time we meet. Go in peace. Until next time, shalom.
