Jesus said,
"It is not the healthy that need
a doctor but the sick : I did not
come to invite virtuous people but
sinners"
Mark
2:17
There is a sinfulness which issues
from weakness and from culpable
ignorance. Such, if not redressed,
brings about debilitation and ultimate
disintegration of the soul. And
at some time all sin through weakness
of flesh or will : to recognise
the failure and seek to remedy is
to progress. And no matter how often
the sinner fails, so long as there
is the recognition of failure ,
the desire for forgiveness and the
intention to overcome , there is
success and progress. For I minister
and receive to Myself the penitent
sinner, setting him on the way again
in hope.
He who regards himself as whole
and yet lives apart from the loving
purpose of their Heavenly Father
deceives himself . And there is
neither life nor light within him.
His condition is far more serious
than that of the reluctant sinner
who falls many times. For no one
who fails to relate to the perfection
of their Heavenly Father may grow
or survive. And he who sees the
light and experiences the life,
however dimly, never ceases to be
aware of his imperfection and failures
in the light of the perfection of
his Heavenly Father . But through
the light and power of Our Holy
Spirit and the life of My resurrection
through redemption , the committed,
loving disciple is brought to the
joy of eternity.
