WOODS CROSS GROUP



I am ABRAHAM. Greetings, I do love these small, more intimate groups.
The energy this evening is indeed promoting peace, something we can all
use after the busy holidays.



I still find the story of Jesus, born as a helpless babe, on this
material world fascinating. I find the happenings that led up to the
birth intriguing. I realize that the Master was meant to come here, that
was the plan. From a mortal standpoint however, I am always in awe of
those things Father can make happen. For example: the visitation of
Gabriel to Mary, the dream that Joseph had, the fact that Elizabeth was
beyond her child bearing years and could still carry a child. These
things to me are real and something I could relate to from a mortal
standpoint. We must realize however, these events did not happen one
right after the other in such a fast pace, no.



God has His time and God?s time is perfect. That is the one thing I have
found most difficult as a mortal, God?s time and my time were not the
same. A year to me could be the blink of an eye to Father. Believe me, I
was then and sometimes still am, impatient and anxious to see every
outcome. How blessed are we that Michael of Nebadon chose our small
planet as a bestowal experience. How blessed are we that He set a fine
example from infancy to adulthood. How blessed are we now that we have
information, meaning living revelation and the Urantia book to broaden
our view. How blessed are we that we are not bound by tradition and have
every possibility before us.



Thank you for allowing me to share in your lives, your experiences and
know that I am with understanding that impatience is a burden hard to
bare. It would seem appropriate this evening to discuss Father?s
presence in our everyday lives. Spiritual loneliness has driven even the
best of us to find temporary fulfillment, even in a negative manner. The
human mind is fascinating, with all its idiosyncrasies and
interpretations. We each know that life is not continual joy. There are
various emotions. There are hard times. There are complex situations.
This is typical mortal life.



A life barren of the spirit however, is to have repetitive negative
thinking. This negative thinking keeps one downcast all the time. There
is no balance. Life lived without the Father?s presence is a thirst that
is never quenched, a hunger that is never satisfied. Many who know this
spiritual loneliness are thrill seeker?s, always looking for that next
temporary high.



How do we combat spiritual loneliness? You could attribute most of it to
the mind, how you think. What goes into your mind? What are you sensing?
One who holds fast to past anger will certainly create a barrier between
themselves and spirit, of course worsening the situation. It is most
wise to turn off the world around you. Have not worry of any material.
Have not worry of any loved ones, deprivation, so to speak, nothing but
your mind and the spirit. We can go to the well of the Father and drink
deeply His abiding love. It is possible to not have worry for tomorrow
or even have anger over the past.



As we approach this new year we can put our focus toward strengthening
our bond with the Father, Michael and Mother. Ponder this spiritual
loneliness. If you have God you have everything. Father is indeed
sensible. He would lead you upon a path of common sense. He would not
walk the path for you, no. He would however go before you to clear the
way. Father would not allow His children to indulge in irresponsible
behavior and then remove their difficulties. What would that serve? How
would that help? He would show various solutions you could choose. He
would show you how to help yourself. He is a good Father.



This week make effort to turn off the world and tune into Him. Ponder
those facts of God?s time and your time. Remember the focus for the
coming new year. That is all. Know that each time we meet I am with more
affection for you. Go in peace. Until next time, shalom.
