Do you expect to have the same set of friends for a lifetime? Yet the circumstances of life open you up to new friendships and old ones can die from neglect or when one or both of you changes interests or locations. If you find your network of friends changing, it may be because you are changing. If your view of life and reality expands, it should follow that your circle of contacts expands also. You are attracted to different people, and different people are attracted to you. Are you known by the company you keep?

Do you find that everyone has their favorite subjects to talk about? Given an opportunity and audience they can talk for a long time. Have you ever been the audience and given someone the opportunity to take the lead in the conversation? Did you find this interesting or boring? How do people feel about your stories when you have a chance to do this? Do you find stories more interesting if  they contain something you can relate to rather than being detached particulars?

Do you expect worship to be therapeutic or transformational? It can be both. Therapeutic implies healing, and healing is available in my presence. My healing ministry is as active as it was on earth, and more so, being released from the limitations of time and space. Everyone needs healing at some time, but the purpose of healing is to restore you to a prior functional condition. I offer you that, but I want you to look ahead. The transformation I offer you will take you to a place you have never been before. Are you ready to go there?

How do you select the books you read, your teachers, and other sources of instruction? Do you have a methodical process for this? Does it seem that you come across just the right thing at the time you are ready for it? Perhaps you are being led by the Spirit. Have I not promised  to perfect that which concerns you? You are constantly surrounded by lessons. When you are ready you will see them. Be alert, be aware, be attentive, be receptive and the lessons will find you. He who has ears to hear and eyes to see, let him hear and see. When I open doors for you walk through them.
