ABRAHAM -- GOD'S LOVE MADE VISIBLE
DECEMBER 15, 2002
WOODS CROSS GROUP

I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. For you each to be present here this evening you
are surely making a statement of faith. When I am with you gathered in this
setting I feel so fortunate to see God's love made visible. Everyone here
this evening has something to give and along with that also a need to
receive. Your loving ministry to one another is a beautiful sight to behold.
Yes, God's love made visible.

Last week we made effort to focus on gratitude and the fullness in our
lives. This certainly draws positive things to us. This is certainly a tool
for reinforcing faith. Faith is why you are here. Faith is why you continue
to support Michael's cause. Faith is why you live not on surface levels, but
have courage to face life with it's altering realities. Your faith brings me
here each week.

This season of celebration is usually a time to focus on the birth of one
who brought so many changes, so much upliftment. This time for many is a
time for rebirth, not so much a focus on perhaps dying to the old ways, but
newness and wonders to come. As your faith matures you find each day is a
new birth, a time for old things to fade away and readjustment to things
new.

The blessed Adjuster is our life's Conductor that without flaw orchestrates
newness and directs us toward meanings and values. What a perfect Parent to
be at hand to assist us in a new 'birth of thought' every day. This Parent
is our foundation, our guide, our comforter, our key to all things new, and
to think that this wonderful Parent is only the beginning to all the
assistance that is ever unceasingly standing by.

Focusing on what is good is to focus on birth and newness, drawing those
things that we truly need toward us. This is definitely enhancing our
attitude toward everyday occurrences and whatever may befall us. Focusing on
gratitude is not so much about concentrating to die to the old ways or
letting go of old patterns, but seeing life with the eyes of a child.

Life is wondrous at any age. The possibilities with God only increase as
time goes by. As your faith matures you definitely are better able to
recognize God's love made visible. There will always be challenges. There
will be times when you truly believe nothing will ever change. There will be
times when you may feel stuck or unable to see a new light in any direction.

Return to that faith foundation and the beloved Parent. Review your life's
blessings and open your heart and mind to receive His loving presence. Be
willing to be reborn every day. There is not any one mortal who has seen and
knows all things. Life is a wondrous adventure at any age. The experiential
possibilities are endless. To commit to being reborn in all ways every day
is a literal opening in the personal mind circuitry to that ever expansive
cosmic circuitry.

When we review the life of the Master how can we deny that Jesus was indeed
God's love made visible. His first step was always having to do with faith,
an unshakable faith that Father was indeed in control of all things. The
Master had naught to worry about. He was with full confidence that Father
overseen His every need. His example of self-forgetfulness was indeed a show
of faith. He could be about the Father's business, knowing full well that
all was in the safe hands of the Father. The Master had naught to worry
about.

He had certainly subjected His mind to the Father's continuous evolving
truth, yes. The Master did feel that freedom of allowing His mind to be in a
continuous state of rebirth, always new, always watchful of Father's
guidance, always trusting that everything with value is truly safe,
everything with value is truly lasting. Even in the worst of circumstances
the Master could maintain a sense of peace, knowing full well that any and
every outcome would end up in an ultimate good.

This week think about what it means to be reborn everyday. Ask yourselves if
you still have that wondrous heart of a child? Be watchful for examples of
God's love made visible. Look for opportunities to be God's love made
visible. Think about your faith and where it has led you, and how it has
matured or changed over the years. Think about how your life's experience
has provided you with the faith you have now. Again, be aware of your levels
of gratitude and what you may draw to yourself. Also for conversational
purposes have some discussion on the Master's faith aspects. What perhaps
did you admire most about His faith examples in the flesh?

No questions this week. Know that I am always at hand to assist any of you
at any time. You are ever growing with love in my heart. Until next time,
shalom.
