Jesus said, "As for the part in the rich soil, this is people with a noble and generous heart who have heard the word and take it to themselves and
yield a harvest through their perseverance"
Luke 8:15

Let no-one be in any doubt regarding the urgency of responding to the word which is spoken to them in the comings and goings of every day life. Day by day, year by year the soul grows as it reacts to its daily encounters and emerges from the experience for others yet to come, and as it corrects and reforms those things within itself which seem unproductive and unprofitable.

But above all, progress is made as the Word Himself is addressed at the heart's centre and as the whole being is accommodated to that which is heard and shown. The way is never easy, for there is need for trial and struggle in the soul's growth towards wholeness and holiness, but it is safe as it continues committed to that which is spoken in the depths of its being and seen I the ideal vision of the Father's world.

I am the Word, the way and the life. Desire nothing more than to hear the Word in all things, ask for nothing but to walk in the way in every matter and circumstance, and you will receive the life which is and enables all things both now and for ever.
