The time-span for everyman
is determined according
to the work he is assigned
to do. So there should be
no thought or anxiety concerning
this matter in the minds
of the committed ones. Time
and opportunity for service
and fulfilment are given
to each according to the
work and responsibility
offered him. The rest is
irrelevant. So it is with
health and strength.
Overriding and orientating
all activity should be the
utter commitment of the
very heart of the being
to that which it is given
to do and to accomplish.
And to discover the nature
of this work is as important
to the expediting of it
For in knowing and understanding
the particular personal
contribution each is required
to make is at the same time
knowing something of the
pattern of the whole ; Its
shape and pattern can be
learned in no other way
but at the Father's feet.
And the mental and physical
ability to carry it through
can be received only from
His hands, however it is
ministered in the earthly
sphere.
So you see the lesson which
needs to be learned and
understood in depth by you
and by all the children
of the Father: His will
is all, and to live it out
in loving commitment, with
thanksgiving, the joyful
challenge of life for yourself
and for all your brothers
and sisters who live and
work in and through Our
life and love now and through
eternity.
