St. James
Jesus called
His Disciples to Him and said, "Anyone
who wants to be great among you must
be your servant, and anyone who wants
to be first among you must be your
slave. Just as the Son of Man came
not to be served
but to serve and to give His life
as a ransom for many."
Matthew
20:28
Each of the Father's faithful children
who seek His will and loving purpose
receive their being at His hands,
and His commission for them. Seeing
their intrinsic weakness and human
limitations they seek all at His
hands. And they are blessed with
all they need to do His will and
be His delight in them.
It was My Father's will and loving
purpose that I should live a human
life on earth to love and save mankind,
and be His light and life and power
through love. Humbly I came, simply
I lived, and submitting to man's
evil will I died in pain and agony.
But My obedience to the Father's
loving purpose for mankind has brought
salvation to the sons of men who
seek to be and do the Father's will
for them. Hidden from understanding
through the circumstance of the
human situation or openly acknowledged
this is the open secret for every
child of man who is also the beloved
son or daughter of the Father,
And every child of man is called
to serve and suffer, each one according
to the Father's purpose for him
in the pattern of the whole. This
is the antecedent of eternal joy
in love.
