Jesus said to His Disciples, "If anyone wants to be a follower of Mine let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow Me"
Matthew 16:24

To each his path in the Kingdom and the Father's presence; from each the peculiar response it is his privilege and responsive action to make. And each and every one is beloved in his own individual personality by the totality of the Godhead.

And each has a special contribution in suffering love which it is given him to work through to complete his maturity and contribute to the world's sanctification and salvation. This is the greatest honour, privilege and fulfilment; so to receive the call to the loving purpose of the Father as lived and suffered in the Son that the Father is glorified in His creation and the Son imaged in its redeemed and sanctified children of light.

And so faithfulness to that which each is called to be and to suffer is looked for in all who truly seek to love and serve their Heavenly Father and their fellowmen. Our love surrounds leads and protects. The pattern of My incarnate life, the example of My path to the Cross present directives of challenge. Our Holy Spirit interpenetrates with inspiration and power to fulfil all that it is given to do and to become and to suffer.

Fulfilment in joy and fellowship in and through Our saving, triumphant love is assured for all who are true and faithful in these things. Rejoice!
