As Jesus
drew near to Jerusalem and came in
sight of the city He shed tears over
it and said, "If you, in your
turn, had only understood on this
day the message of peace."
Luke
19:41-42
The point and purpose of life for
each and every child of the Father
the world over is so to glorify
Him and serve their fellowmen that
individual and community may reflect
the glory of the Father's Being
and in time and throughout eternity
become a living and radiant part
of that glory. The way is clear,
the means provided, yet few follow
faithfully and with total self-giving:
so many turn in their tracks, become
engrossed in unrewarding ways or
sleep by the way.
Those who persevere find that only
in constant renewal can the end
be achieved. And it is never easy.
Have I not shown in My life and
in My words that hardship, pain
and suffering are bound to be encountered
along the way? But in approaching
difficulties armed with the power
of My saving love and in the light
of Our Holy Spirit victory is assured
and strength gained by the effort
made. By constant awareness of the
need for readiness in all things
the faithful child of the Father
is prepared for all life's problems.
And e is equipped to respond to
all that the Father may require
of him.
To the faithful few I look to share
the burden of My cross which I carry
even in My risen life and shall
until every beloved child of the
father is brought into the fold
of His love in His glorious Presence.
