Jesus said to His Disciples, "If a man serves Me he must follow Me; wherever I am My servant will be there too. If anyone serves me My Father will honour him"
John 12:24-26

The Father's will and loving purpose is for the health and wholeness of each child of man He loves into existence and through the progress and perfecting of each one the welfare of society. And beyond that wholeness the Father has designed each child and every group, community and race to share Our joy as We grow in them and they in Us.

The seed lies dormant in the ground until the sun and rain and natural elements call it into active growth. And as the life within relates to that without which holds potential for its natural development so does it emerge, witnessing to the hidden power and vibrant life which is the Source of all things.

Let all who follow Me be as the seed and as the loyal servant. Just as the seed has neither life nor purpose as it is given through the planting and the careful tending so the faithful servant looks in all things to his master , always ready for his master's will. And will he not share in his master's purpose, committing all his substance and his very life? That faithful servant who is faithful to the end will be honoured at the journey's ending.
