When Jesus
had finished speaking He said to Simon,
"Put out into the deep water
and pay out your nets for a catch."
Luke
5:1-9
So many of the Father's beloved
children who are committed to the
ideas conveyed in teaching about
Him are not willing to follow them
through in faithfulness. And many
who profess and worship in My Name
do not seek My Presence in their
minds and hearts and lives. And
there are not a few who talk of
the light and power of Our Holy
Spirit but are neither enlightened
not guided and empowered by it.
Yet to be open and pliable to Our
light and life and leading is the
open secret of progress in the Kingdom
of the Father. So is each led, as
he commits himself in loving obedience,
into ever-increasing potential both
for his own progress and perfection
and for the help and well-being
of others. For he is buoyed up,
as he launches into the deep, by
Our protection and power, and led
into parts of the Father's sea where
there are opportunities for service
with abundant reward. So is the
Father's Kingdom increased and enriched
through Our light and leading and
power, and he is made strong and
whole in the process of time, growing
into that perfection which it is
Our good purpose to give him to
rejoice forever in the
Kingdom of joy.
