Jesus said
to His disciples, "See that you
are dressed for action and have your
lamps lit. be as men waiting for their
master to return ….. happy those
servants if the master finds them
ready."
Luke
12:41
The only way to progress and fulfilment
is through constant readiness for
action and through studied sensitivity
to the prompting of Our loving Word,
and the readiness and sensitivity
are both enabled and endowed through
constant self-giving and alert response
to that which is spoken at the heart's
centre.
So let each and every beloved child
of the Father earnestly desire that
which the Father yearns to give
him, namely a deep longing for that
readiness and preparedness for that
service to King and Kingdom which
will fulfil and perfect him through
Our saving, sanctifying love.
Herein is joy even in the midst
of such sorrows and sadness which
are the inevitable experience of
all at some time in their life on
earth. These pass, and they are
not without their place in the pattern
of the Father's loving purpose.
Faithfulness is the reward of all
who persevere in trust and loving
commitment, and the Father will
reward His beloved faithful children
with the joy of His Presence for
evermore.
