Support and Obey is something that was promised and on our on free will, A New Beginning conforming to the Creation made by the Creator to do His will and God said, "That is good." Ye.' believe in God also believe in me (dn. 14.'l). If our earthly house be dissolved we have a house not made by hands internal in the Heavens (2Cor. 5.' I). We are here on earth for a short while, this is not our home and if we can help someone while here then our living will not be in vain. We must be born again, having the fruits of the Spirit Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering and Gentleness, than we become a New Creature. Old things pass away and all things become anew (Rom. 6.'6) a new way to treat our fellow man, a new way to talk, a new way to walk,' A New Beginning loving your Brothers and Sisters. Doing good when you can, where you can, to all you can -- if you love Me you will obey My commandments, that way every man will know that you are my Disciple. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life, (dn. 3.'16). Jesus was crucified for all of man's sins that we might have A New Beginning.

God gave the children of Israel a New Beginning, while Moses kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law on the backside of Mount Joreb. The Angle of the Lord appeared to him and said, "1 have surely seen the affection of my people which is in Egypt (Ex 3:7) come now I will send thee unto Pharaoh that thou might bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt." The same God that made Heaven and Earth and everything therein, the same God that made Man a living soul is speaking to Man today because he have work for man to perform and help lift up his Kingdom while here on earth.

Before the annals of time God the father, God the son, and God the Holy Ghost, was here, there were darkness all over the earth and God said let there be light (Gen. 1:3) and the light was divided from the darkness, for no man can work in the darkness and do good, for he will injury himself trying to harm someone else or destroy that which he meant not to destroy. A New Beginning is to put off the old man and put on the' new man, having a change of heart, doing unto others, as you would have them do unto you. Meaning that you have decided to get off of the destruction crew and join the construction crew using your God-given knowledge and experience for the betterment of mankind, starting with the immediate surroundings and spreading it to the highest mountain top that all may see your good work.

Moses with his many skills and talent had the expertise to do the work that God wanted him to do, yet he began to make excuses as to why he could not do God's will (Ex.4: I). Today there is little or no different in Man, he is still making excuses why he cannot serve God, but he will hinder the progress of those that are willing to serve. A New Beginning is to get off the side line forecasting what cannot be done or what you are going to do, to stop certain things from happening and get in the ditch, roll up your sleeves and put your shoulder and backbone to the load and help move it to a higher ground. God as well as this Grand Lodge is in need of workers, so why waste valuable knowledge on travest things.
