Elijah
said, "How long halt
ye between two opinions?"
1
Kings 18:21
Many of the Father's children
- most of them at some time
- dally and flirt with a
way of life that they have
graduated from. They see
the unproductive quality
of a habit or way of living
which they decide unprofitable
yet do not put it firmly
behind them. Such live under
a handicap : they are not
totally committed and consequently
find that they are unfulfilled
both in personality and
achievement, and their way
is joyless.
There must be utter, complete
commitment to progress along
the way for those who are
true of heart and who seek
to serve their Heavenly
Father with singleness of
heart and mind. All must
be offered to this end :
even so can I enter and
fill and guide and pilot
towards the joyful destination.
And joy is to be found
along the way, for I am
joy as well as peace and
love, life, light and fulfilment
in all things.
But singleness of heart
and mind are essential for
progress where there is
a temporary falling away;
this can be remedied by
a return through My saving
love. And Our Holy Spirit
continually ministers to
the near and distant ones,
guiding from perilous ways
those who will be shepherded.
The only danger is in lack
of response.
Blest are the pure in heart
for they shall see the Father
and dwell in His courts
or evermore.
