Jesus said, "I, if I be lifted up, with draw all men unto Me."
John 12:32

I am the sin-offering of the world, the hope and the perfection of all who look to Me in faith and love.

And I call each and every child of the Father who bears a burden of suffering ,of whatever kind, to offer it with their mind and heart to My saving love. I am at the centre of all suffering, transforming even the most poignant grief, holding the pain-wracked body of every suffering child.

Even the road of dereliction and seeming rejection I have trodden and tread constantly alongside the Father's suffering child. I lift in My arms those who give Me leave, walking with them along the arid, painful way.

So has the cross become a means of hope and of progress in the way for all who look to me in sorrow and in pain. And I look to those who call Me Lord and follow in the way of My showing to identify in the way of My suffering as they are enlightened and enabled. According to the faithfulness of each will be the joy of sharing in My saving work.
