Matthew, 18:21-35

In all hurts, misunderstandings and differences seek the heart and mind of love. Do not apply the nicely calculated law of more or less, nor seek to discover who has the chief responsibility in the situation of uncharity. Take to yourself the hurt and in time it will bring the result you look for. As those who love most suffer most in situations of unloving, so will the suffering patiently and lovingly borne for love's sake bring about the change of heart and mind which you desire to see. For it is I who work to redeem, save, sanctify and set on the way again in joy, faithfulness and love.

Does not your Heavenly Father love you even when you turn away from Him? Did I not love those who taunted and abused Me when they had stretched Me out on the Cross of shame? And am I not even now present in suffering love in every corner of the earth where men, women and children are deflected from the Father's loving purpose?

Even so I look to each and every child of the Father to become the consuming fire where love warms and lights the way to eternal joy.
