WOODS CROSS GROUP



I am ABRAHAM. Greetings, I always feel more enlightened by your
heartfelt discussions. Each new personal perspective fills me with ideas
and inspiration to make more of what I have.



I love the idea of greeting life with enthusiasm and courage to take on
each new challenge. Take a rainy day for example--have 100 people
viewing this rainy day and indeed you would get 100 varying
perspectives. A person may see dark storm clouds and be limited in their
perspective of the day?s potentials. Another person may view this rainy
day as cleansing and creating new life.



Those that live life without fear are seeing through the eyes of Father,
which is always inspirational and full of potential. Your life up to
this point is somewhat a product of your perception. What you see now
occurring in your life is the result of actions taken by what you have
perceived. ?Is the glass half full or half empty?? is an old saying, but
it still is indeed a regulator of attitude and possibilities.



Many individuals feel as if life just happens and they are but a victim.
They are easily discouraged into taking no action, for they feel it
would be futile. If you are one who greets life with fearlessness, then
are you putting potentials into actuals, you are generating energy; you
are in connection with spirit; you are utilizing your God given gift of
having life and having it more abundantly. If you envision doom, then
certainly do you attract it. If you accept that Father knows and sees
you as His child, then are you with confidence and courage to go where
He may take you.



Fear certainly influences your perception of reality, so does faith, so
does truth. Your attitude and definition of your perception is a good
measurement for your receptivity to spirit. How do expectations or
habits influence what you are really seeing? If you expect Father to be
entirely too busy for your minor problems, then certainly is this
limiting your perception. If you are with faith that Father dwells
within your very being, then certainly is your perception broadened.
Most of the time attitude is indeed influenced by what you are perceiving.



I do believe effort made on the part of the child to change an attitude
is an invitation to Father to guide, to assist. I am not saying to put
on a brave front and live as if everything is perfect, but to tame the
ego and emotions to not influence your perception is certainly higher
mindedness. Your interpretation of what you see does have an effect on
you mentally and physically. We all know we have jumped to some
conclusion when we have witnessed some event and having not taken the
time to collect the facts or receive understanding from the Father?s
perspective.



Yes, this week make time to understand what or who governs your attitude
and perspective. Be thoughtful of gathering facts to understand the
reality of any given situation. Know that in all of life?s happenings
Father sees to an outcome of ultimate truth, beauty and goodness. Know
that you each are trusted to strive for the ultimate good of the whole,
even though this may require personal cost. Have not worry nor fear, for
Father sees to the growth of all His children. That is all. Again, I
give you each my love and will set you in motion for yet another week of
mortal adventures. Until next time, shalom.
