When Jesus
came to the region of Caesarea Philippi
He put this question to His Disciples,
"Who do people say the Son of
Man is?"
Matthew
16:13
How can the Father's children love,
serve and obey precepts, power or
person that they do not know, and
how can they know unless they seek,
and how will they seek unless they
care?
Constantly, ceaselessly I seek
to lead the sons of men, beloved
children of their Heavenly Father,
to the path of progress in the way.
Many respond, though blindly, following
lesser lights to guide them on the
way, powered by feeble energies,
guided by uncertain landmarks. Each
jostles other in uncertain progress.
Some grow weary and abandon all
endeavours, some are carried on
the shoulders of their friends,
others shuffle hopelessly to their
life's end. Yet they will be received
into the realms of joy unless they
have forsworn their glorious destiny,
for through My death and resurrection
I have enabled all so to progress.
As each beloved child of the Father's
loving grows into conscious relationship
with the world in which he lives,
so is he challenged into reaction
to that which is presented to him
from his soul's centre. And I am
that which challenges, furthers
and fulfils. I am the love which
enfolds, embraces, and I beckon,
guide, enlighten and enfire. And
all who respond as they are led
and challenged progress in joy and
certainty whatever betides. Such
is the Father's will for all his
children.
