It is I Peter. You are progressing. Sometimes things seem as if
though God does not have a part in your life, plans, goals and dreams
but He does. He is always tending to your needs. The soul of man
has great potential and therefore there needs to come necessary
changes. You feel these changes in many ways or should I say, changes
are manifested in many forms. Sometimes the changes make you happy
and some even indifferent to life. Nevertheless these must have
their course. It is when you are reluctant that you find them difficult
or unpleasant. Jesus explained this to you on a previous message.
But let us try to shed more light.
If you were to become a leader of a nation, do you think that it
would be possible to lead, without any training, in regards to leading
such a large and varied group? Or would it be better to have lived
among all the different people of that group first, so that you
could better understand their needs? Do you think that you would
learn to trust without risks? Can you love without receiving love?
Can you heal without hurt? Can you progress without struggle? There
is dignity in facing challenge, self-esteem in effort and self-worth
in overcoming difficulties. It is just a matter of perception.
These changes are blessings. They are necessary for fulfillment.
The Potter must work its clay. You must find value in these things
(changes) and find value in your self. Know that there is goodness
in you. These changes are your benefactors. These will show (teach)
you how to make your home in the Celestial Heavens. The qualities
earned in assimilating the lessons are your treasure. These (qualities)
are no small miracles. They are parts of the Great Miracle of the
Transformation. But still, these seemingly difficult changes are
not always so burdensome. For you have experienced happiness in
the midst of hardship and you wondered at it with such surprise.
Happiness comes from the connection you have to God. What is important,
as you are learning, is to live your code of values. Emphasize the
positive and approach adversity with humility, courage and humor.
Remember to seek truth and to help your fellow friends and speak
and spread this truth at every opportunity. This is how you will
use the talents* that were given to you by the Owner of the land.
And this will please the Landowner, how well you have invested these
talents.
So remember to be cheerful and know that God Loves you and all
of His children are precious. They just need to place themselves
in a state of receptivity and then would they be so happy. And fulfillment
would be theirs. We love you and we pray for God’s Love to
fill you.
* After reading this message to myself I believe he used “talents”
in place of “gold coins”, alluding to a parable in the
bible.
