Thanksgiving and praise for all that is due to your Heavenly Father. As joyful souls offer their praise and thanksgiving they are imbued with the glory of the Father's Presence for we become like that which we worship.

Seek to be centred in joy and thanksgiving both for your own sake and for the sake of those causes and children of your Heavenly Father whom you seek to love and serve. This is the first step in embarking on the way of joy and thanksgiving, total trust and abandonment in and to love. From the disposition thus engendered will come inspired hope, certainty in faith and many seeking souls will follow and help and support that which will be given to do and to accomplish.

Remember My words, "except a grain of wheat fall to the earth and die it abideth alone, but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit". So must the self die to self continually and continuously. The great step along the Father's highway will ring much joy to all who practise it , and as success is gradually and often painfully achieved (in and through Our Abiding Presence), many will joyfully identify with the undertaking, learning and sharing as they participate.

But let the death to self be an occasion of joy and thankfulness at every point, for is not the soul consequently sturdier as it progresses, however falteringly, along the King's glorious highway into eternity?
