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,"
Wisdom
7:7-10,15-16 Matthew 7:21-29
And how may he know the Father's
will unless he seeks it with every
fibre of his strength, and with
all the inspiration of his heart
and mind? Let is be known and fully
understood that in all things the
Father's will is to be found, in
small as well as great matters.
But let this not make for an anxious,
busy mind, ferreting around in constant
mental and spiritual activity. First
let all things, even life itself
be offered to the loving Heavenly
Father. Each and every gift and
blessing needs to be offered back
so that it may be deployed as the
Father sees best for the fulfilment
of His loving purpose in the one
and the many as well as in the life
and work of him who receives it.
Then will My Presence be perceived
at the heart's centre, waiting to
instruct and empower for action,
and to inform and enlighten in things
material to that which will be done
and experienced if that committed
one follows faithfully in the way.
So will he become a bridge for Our
way to others who seek a way to
truth and light and the Father's
Kingdom.
Earnestly desire the Father's will
in all things and I will empower
you to fulfil it as you follow faithfully
in the way,
