Jesus said,
"I tell you solemnly, unless
you change and become like little
children you will never enter the
Kingdom of Heaven …. It is never
the will of your Father in Heaven
that one of these little ones be lost."
Matthew
10:16
The humble heart and the receptive
mind are imperative for each and
every child of the Father the world
over. Each of the Father's children
is led by Our loving hand and enlightened
with such understanding as will
enable him to respond in faith and
loving trust. And as he freely and
willingly progresses in the way,
accepting every challenge as it
is offered him, so is his vision
widened, his pace increased. Setbacks
and failures cannot impede his progress
if they are experienced in the context
of Our forgiving love. Only the
hard heart and self-centred life
will frustrate the soul's progress
to and in the Father's Kingdom.
Because the loving Heavenly Father
has called each and every one of
His beloved children to know and
love and be with Him in joy in time
and eternity, so must each be free
in the fundamental choice of accepting
or rejecting the way He offers them.
All are accompanied by the light
of Our Holy Spirit and the Presence
of My incarnate Love. But each may
turn aside, rejecting by little
or by much the way of his salvation
and perfection. For such We grieve
and suffer as none can know or understand
even to the end of time.
