Jesus said, "….. stay awake because you do not know either the day or the hour (when the Son of Man will come.")
Matthew 24:42-44

There is no moment of day or night that each beloved child of the Father is not required to be accountable. All that is so prodigally showered on each and every one is for the building up of the one and the many. So each endowment given, each blessing of work and leisure and vicissitude is given or allowed by the loving Heavenly Father and woven into the fabric of the whole.

But those who sleep or wander or deviously circumnavigate along life's way endanger their own soul and temporarily deflect the Father's loving purpose. For they are free to choose the way of their own soul, to make or mar, to build or to destroy. The Father's love has limited their power to self-destruction, if their wills desire it: the depths of anguish at the souls thus lost to love no human soul can ever know.

Be constantly alert, then, to do love's bidding: awake, asleep, at work or play, be faithfully and joyfully committed to love and trust and serve according to the present circumstance. And know My Presence is continually with you.
