Jesus said
to Simon Peter and Andrew, "Follow
me and will make you fishers of men"
Matthew
4:19
The Father looks to all His beloved.
committed sons and daughters to
reflect His light and His love to
every one of His children the world
over. As each prays the family prayer
of all committed to M saving love
so must he purpose to dispose all
that he is, all that he possesses,
to the Father's will and to the
extension of the Father's Kingdom
upon earth. Such must be daily commitment
and a lifetime's work. For most,
such commitment will be woven into
lives of service to family, group,
community and some few, nation.
But those there are whom the Father
calls to particular service in sowing,
tending, gleaning and garnering
His harvest. As these respond to
His call and leading, so do they
find His directing and placement?
And as they look to My indwelling
Presence for sustenance and growth
so do they mature and prosper, guided
in the way by Our Holy Spirit.
The way for all the true of heart
and faithfully committed is there
to be searched for and found: illumination
is unfailingly available but must
be desired. The going, though full
of hope an underlying joy, is often
hard and difficult, sometimes painful.
And there are sadnesses and setbacks
along the way.
But those who continue to the end,
as hey are led and sustained, will
know the joy and fulfilment of the
Father's Presence.
