Matthew 13:24-30

Although the destruction of evil must await the final day of reckoning in the Father's Kingdom on earth there is a constant dissociation from engagement in evil and negative forces which each of the Father's children engages in as he seeks the Father's Presence. Nothing defiled may stand in the Presence of the Father, for His absolute and glorious perfection would enfire all that was contrary to holiness and purity. And who could survive who had not cast off the garment of sinfulness?

So as each committed child of the Father seeks His Presence in his daily life on earth, and acknowledges his intrinsic weakness and constant failure, so do I minister through My Saving Love. Joyfully I receive the acknowledgement of failure, the occasions of sin confessed. Lovingly I bind up the hurts caused by failure and sin, both in the penitent child of the Father and in any also hurt by the occasion of falling, as it is desired. And I lead into rich pastures of the Father's Kingdom all who constantly return to His Presence in trust and love.

All is ready, then, for the harvest among the Father's faithful ones. Whether the harvesting is near or far matter not at all for those who are already gathered. Yet all may and must pray for the fullness of harvest.
