Jesus said
to His disciples, "It is not
those who say to Me, 'Lord, Lord'
who will enter the Kingdom of Heaven
but the person who does the will of
My Father in Heaven."
Matthew
7
All are called to enter the Father's
Kingdom of light and love and power.
And the Father desires the presence
of each and every one in His Kingdom
with a longing which cannot be imagined.
But each must desire to enter and
to give himself without reserve
to the cleansing sanctifying disciplines
of Our loving.
So does he become, in the Father's
good time, a part of the active
dynamic will and good purpose of
the Father. And as he allows the
required disciplines to continue
in his life and living so do they
work through Our loving direction
and power to become the means by
which others are loved into His
Kingdom. Not that the lovingly committed
ones initiate and enable: they are
but the lively means, According
to their faithfulness in love, the
frontiers of the Kingdom are extended,
the Father's will done, and the
beloved, faithful child is progressed
along his way to perfection and
fulfilment - all in and through
Our saving sanctifying, loving power.
