Beloved one, there comes a time when you are called to do something that is, in your current vocabulary, above and beyond the call of duty. You are called to put an extreme effort into something that simply presents itself, and you know that you have a choice, yet you do not. You know that your innermost being tells you that you must go forth and effort.

What does it mean when this occurs? It simply means that life is calling you to participate with all that you are and can be. At times, many have efforted with their minds, with their thinking, and such efforting has become tiring. But this is something different. It is efforting with your movements, your body, and your giving — giving to another.

You don’t win any points, so to speak, by such efforting. You will not receive a medal, though some of you will deserve one. You will simply be doing what you are most capable of doing.
