Thus speaks
the Lord who is God, "I, the
Lord, have called you with righteous
purpose and taken you by the hand.
I have formed you and appointed you
to be a light to all peoples, a beacon
for the nations,"
Isaiah
42:6
So speaks the Father of all men
in all times and ages and paces,
the Creator of all that was and
is and ever shall be. And He speaks
to each and every one of His beloved
children so that the dignity and
worth, vocation and challenge may
be seen and known, understood and
responded to. Each one who ever
lived, every child of My love, is
also My servant designed to fulfil
his destiny and to come to the fullness
of his humanity through knowledge
of Me and faithfulness and service
to his fellow men as it is shown
and made possible for him.
And so it is with groups and nations
and peoples. My loving design is
for many and varied groupings of
My human family to come together
in harmony and constructive living
for each other and for My Kingdom
of hope and joy. So will justice
be planned on earth, coasts and
islands filled with understanding
of all that belongs to their peace,
with commitment to it.
For My well-beloved Son, My true
Servant from the beginning of time
even to the end of it, has made
all things possible in the realm
of humanity. All may become a part
of this glorious design, conceived
before time was. The way is through
faithfulness and loving commitment.
