Jesus said, "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst ; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
John 13-13

The natural life, bestowed on every child of The Father at birth is ongoing and progressive, developing by the natural order of things as time progresses; where that child is given food and clothing and loving care he grows into adulthood without profound choices on his part regarding his further development. But there is a choice which is made by each and every one as childhood gives way to adulthood. The babes and young children I bear in my arms ;; they relate to me in innocence and uninformed faith and in a joy of the aura of the Father's Kingdom. The brief stage gives way all too soon to the consciousness of the world, which many name the "real" world, and my face becomes to most as a waking dream of childhood past. Yet I am there at every stage and in every experience, seeking to mould each part into that which The Father seeks each child of His to be come, and to prepare and train him in that which he is to do in the service of the Kingdom. And in all I offer the waters of salvation ; when once the first drink is taken from my chalice when the natural selfhood has been offered to the Father, that child of the Father may drink without limit ; indeed the more he takes the more he desires, and by that measure is he fulfilled and enabled to realise and further The Father's purpose for him. In this context I am ceaselessly present, indwelling and ministering - as I am given leave. And Our Blessed Spirit gives light and power along the way.
