                                                    February 10th
                                                    Jesus 
                                                    said,"He who is not with 
                                                    Me is against Me,
                                                    and He who does not gather 
                                                    with Me scatters." 
                                                    Matthew 
                                                    12:30 
                                                     
                                                     According to the light 
                                                      vouchsafed to each person, 
                                                      and his ability to respond, 
                                                      so will it be required of 
                                                      him in response and fulfillment. 
                                                      To live is to be challenged 
                                                      and to grow. To cease to 
                                                      grow is to atrophy and die. 
                                                      There is no standing still 
                                                      for the children of Father, 
                                                      and all the children of 
                                                      men are children of the 
                                                      Father unless they choose 
                                                      otherwise. Self-will, contrary 
                                                      reaction to life's experiences 
                                                      and the exigencies of growth 
                                                      and change - these militate 
                                                      against growing towards 
                                                      the light, but the Light 
                                                      constantly seeks to penetrate 
                                                      even the most rebellious 
                                                      heart and mind. Only persistent 
                                                      self-will and even consent 
                                                      will invite progressive 
                                                      evil. And the door of repentance 
                                                      is always open, the hand 
                                                      of loving forgiveness always 
                                                      outstretched.
                                                    My loving, committed children 
                                                      must constantly be attuned 
                                                      to the song of love which 
                                                      I sing continuously to My 
                                                      straying and rebellious 
                                                      children, letting Me use 
                                                      them in prayer and action 
                                                      according to Our will to 
                                                      save and to restore. The 
                                                      action must be Mine.
