As the
time drew near for Him to be taken
up to Heaven Jesus resolutely set
His face to go to Jerusalem
Luke
9:51
Increasingly as the weeks and days
wore on I knew the Father's direction
for Me in His loving purpose for
the salvation for His beloved children.
And increasingly I identified with
it, seeking and finding that total
oneness with all it signified and
encompassed.
But it was not easy, for nothing
less than the redemption of mankind
was at stake . As the days progressed
before My cosmic act of loving sacrifice
I constantly renewed the springs
of My humanity in fellowship, and
obedience to the Father . My Disciples,
too, were refreshed by the waters
which flowed over them also as we
prayed and talked together. And
they learned a little during those
short weeks which they later called
to mind as they grew and matured
in My risen life.
Let every child of the Father know
and seek to understand three things
of vital import to their growth
and development in love and service.
First they must steadfastly seek
to know the Father's will for them
in the context of the whole and
pray for understanding of it. Secondly
they must totally commit their whole
being, body, mind and spirit to
know and understand, and thirdly,
they must ask earnestly for all
that is necessary in endowment and
circumstance to expedite that which
is given them to become and do and
the Father will delight to give.
